Henkel is expanding its low-carbon-footprint offering with Technomelt PUR 6260 ECO, a bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesive for automotive interior applications. Made from at least 60% renewable and recycled raw materials, Technomelt PUR 6260 ECO has a product carbon footprint over 40% lower than Henkel¡¯s standard product for this application ¨C according to Henkel calculations, which include emissions in both materials and production. In addition, the innovative product delivers full performance at lower lamination temperatures (15¡ãC lower than the standard product), enabling industrial users to save energy in processing.

Processing speed and performance complete the package

Alongside its sustainability profile, Technomelt PUR 6260 ECO offers excellent performance benefits. Sprayable and fast-setting, it supports faster processing thanks to its low softening point (around 50¡ãC), which also means it can be used on temperature-sensitive substrates. Additionally, it has high heat resistance (up to 150¡ãC) and is suitable for single-side application. Together, these attributes make it an ideal fit for automotive cockpit, door and center console applications, in which industrial users can enjoy full PUR adhesion performance along with energy and time savings.

Henkel advances further on its sustainability journey

Henkel has a long-established commitment to driving sustainability through its products and partnerships, with a complete vision that includes climate, circularity and safety. ¡°Our sustainability goals stretch beyond our own organization,¡± said Rainer Schoenfeld, Global Market Strategy Director for Exterior, Powertrain, Interior and Chassis at Henkel. ¡°As well as becoming net-zero by 2045, we are aiming to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 ¨C which means making a measurable difference in customer operations. The products we offer are a key part of that, so we¡¯re pleased to expand our range of bio-based, low-carbon polyurethane hot melts with Technomelt PUR 6260 ECO. We will keep innovating and finding new solutions to enable our customers to reduce their environmental impact.¡±
