Food-safe, shelf-stable, recyclable, and on-shelf by tomorrow.
Right?
Behind every label that stays on, every carton that closes cleanly, and every pouch that survives the cold, there's an adhesive decision. We help packaging manufacturers and converters make better ones.
A long list of things can derail a packaging line. Labels that release too early, laminates that pass food safety sign-off but fail the recyclability test, adhesives that run clean at moderate speeds but become unpredictable when the line accelerates. Problems like these are what our application engineers spend careers solving. When a new problem emerges that is where our R&D starts.
Packaging converters know that the difference between a good adhesive and the right adhesive is hard to spot in the data sheet. It does, however, always show up on the line. Under real conditions, at the speed the job actually runs, and across a full shift rather than just the first hour.
Henkel Adhesive Technologies’ converting portfolio is built and tested for those conditions. Because converters, fulfilment centers, and ultimately end users don’t want adhesives that almost work.
From 2030 this new EU regulation will make non-compliant packaging not permitted on the EU market. The PPWR sets unified recyclability standards across every format and industry Though the window is short, Henkel's solutions are engineered to help you move ahead of the deadline.
Cost reduction
...
Hot melt adhesives prevent packaged goods from tipping, which allows for higher stacking and up to 90% reduction on stretch film.
lower CO2 emissions with solvent-free adhesives
Switching from solvent-based to solvent-free adhesives can cut packaging CO₂ emissions by up to 70%.
Most packaging lines are running on products selected years ago. But. Substrates change. Regulations change. And a conversation with our application engineers could change everything. Be honest, what is your toughest challenge?
