Henkel and Sasol have announced a strategic partnership focused on reducing the environmental impact of hot melt adhesives. Through the integration of Sasol’s newly developed Sasolwax LC product range into Henkel’s Technomelt portfolio for the European, Indian, Middle Eastern and African markets, Henkel is delivering advanced adhesive solutions with a reduced carbon emission impact, for consumer goods packaging manufacturers.

Sasolwax LC100, produced via Sasol’s enhanced Fischer-Tropsch process, delivers a 35 % reduction in Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) cradle-to-gate compared to proven baseline formulas without compromising on performance. As a drop-in replacement in Henkel’s legacy formulations, it enables seamless adoption across production lines while aligning with Henkel’s ambition to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 30 % by 2030 (base year 2021).

The partnership includes further exploration of renewable and recycled inputs, supported by Sasol’s adaptable synthesis capabilities and joint efforts toward sustainable innovation.
