Henkel Technomelt EM 335 RE hot melt adhesive for PET bottle labelling

The adhesive that holds the label to the bottle is important for the quality of the recycled material. Anything that doesn’t dissolve during the recycling process leaves residue on the PET flakes. Henkel’s new hot melt adhesive, Technomelt EM 335 RE, is designed to enable clean separation.

Technomelt EM 335 RE adhesive is tailored to the needs of modern recycling processes. It is alkali-dispersible and is claimed to be removed by up to 98%. The adhesive residue is separated from the material stream along with the label residue.

The hot melt adhesive is suitable for paper and plastic labels. It can bond up to 40,000 bottle labels per hour and has a low processing temperature of 110 to 140°C.

Due to its mineral oil-free formulation and compliance with food regulations, the hot melt adhesive is suitable for even the most sensitive applications. Its practical packaging in X-tra chubs is designed to ensure easy and safe handling while avoiding packaging waste.
