Wash-Off Product Adhesives

Henkel has received a certification from the cyclos-HTP Institute (CHI) for its Aquence PS 3017 RE product. This certification confirms that the brand's product is compatible with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cycling processes, allowing businesses that utilize it to dispose of PET bottles effectively without hitches in the recycling path. Aquence PS 3017 RE boasts a unique adhesive formulation engineered to deliver exceptional wash-off performance, allowing labels to be efficiently removed at lower temperatures.

“Indeed, this will be essential to help meet regulations that require a greater proportion of recycled material in plastic packaging. By ensuring that labels and adhesives are part of the solution, Henkel is helping to create a more sustainable future for plastic packaging," said Elodie Picard, Henkel's market strategy director.
