Launched at Fachpack in September, Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool is the latest product helping you reduce your carbon footprint.

Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool is the world’s first low temperature running carbon-negative hot melt adhesive. This innovative product offers not only high performance but also an exceptional environmental profile, representing a major leap forward in reducing carbon footprint in your packaging operations.

Designed for end-of-line cardboard packaging, Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool is developed from bio-based raw materials, certified to remove more CO² from the environment than is emitted during its entire life cycle. This carbon-negative status sets it apart from traditional adhesives, which add to your carbon footprint. Henkel’s development is a clear response to the packaging industry’s growing focus on environmental impact, helping businesses meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals more effectively.

Key Benefits for Users of Cardboard Packaging

1. Carbon-Negative Footprint
The adhesive’s formulation, of bio-based and ISCC certified mass balanced materials means that a reduction of up to 32% of CO² emissions is achievable compared to other polyolefin based hot melt adhesives, which allows companies to align with ambitious decarbonisation targets and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.

2. Energy Efficiency through Cool Technology
As part of Henkel's Cool Technology range, Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool can be applied at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional hot melts. This translates into cost savings for manufacturers while also supporting their efforts to minimise operational energy use.

3. Superior Adhesion and Stability
Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool offers the same reliable performance as Henkel’s premium adhesives. It ensures strong, durable seals for cardboard packaging, even under demanding conditions such as varying temperatures or extended storage.

4. Minimised Waste and Maintenance
The adhesive's clean running properties reduce char buildup, ensuring smooth operations and lowering the need for frequent equipment maintenance, thus increasing productivity.

The introduction of Technomelt Supra 079 ECO Cool sets a new benchmark for the industry. This adhesive enables businesses to achieve both sustainability and operational efficiency; without compromising on performance, marking a transformative moment in packaging solutions.
