Interlock Adhesives launches Henkel innovative low temperature hotmelt adhesive – TECHNOMELT SUPRA

Interlock Adhesives Ltd is delighted to announce the launch of Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool, an innovative hot melt adhesive developed by Henkel. This product uniquely combines the strengths of the Technomelt Supra Eco and Supra Cool series, setting a new benchmark in sustainable packaging solutions.

Technomelt Supra ECO 079 Eco Cool hot melt adhesive is a breakthrough in adhesive technology. By merging the bio-based materials of the Supra Eco range with the energy-efficient properties of the Supra Cool series, Henkel has created a product that optimizes sustainability at two critical points in the value chain: raw materials and processing.

This bio-based adhesive boasts a minimum of 49 percent direct bio-based content, complemented by 30 percent ISCC-certified mass-balanced material. The ISCC certification ensures the precise allocation of certified and non-certified materials, enhancing the product’s sustainability credentials.

One of the standout features of Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool is its ability to operate at significantly reduced application temperatures, lowering energy consumption by up to 40 degrees Celsius. This not only minimizes CO2 emissions, contributing to a more sustainable environment, but also offers operational advantages such as a reduced risk of burns for personnel.

By utilising Technomelt Supra ECO 079, companies can achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 32 percent compared to premium polyolefin-based hot melts. This translates to an estimated savings of approximately 7,500 kilograms of CO2 per year, based on an adhesive consumption of 7 tons annually. These savings are calculated based on a cradle-to-gate analysis of the product’s carbon footprint, excluding the use phase and end-of-life emissions.

Moreover, Technomelt Supra ECO 079 is compatible with the paper recycling process and has been certified by the cyclos-HTP institute. The cyclos-HTP certification attests to the adhesive’s compliance with scientifically based requirements for packaging recyclability, further enhancing its sustainability profile.

Technomelt Supra ECO 079 represents a significant advancement in the field of sustainable packaging adhesives, providing companies with a powerful tool to enhance their environmental stewardship while maintaining high-performance standards.
