Henkel, DaniMer Scientific to Develop Bio-Based Hot-Melt Adhesives
Henkel recently announced it has formed an alliance with DaniMer Scientific LLC, a leader in bio-based material technology, to develop hot-melt adhesives that use bio-based raw materials. The initial target for these new adhesives will be the consumer packaging market, including applications in end of line and labeling.
The alliance reportedly combines Henkel’s expertise in hot-melt adhesive formulation, application, and global footprint with DaniMer’s expertise in biopolymer science, proprietary production capabilities, and bio-based technology platform. The intended ambition of this alliance is to bring to the marketplace a technology platform that includes a family of globally supplied bio-based hot-melt adhesive formulations.
