Celanese and Henkel Collaborate to Offer Adhesives Made from Captured CO2 Emissions

Henkel Corporation, a distributor for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings, and Celanese Corporation, a global chemical and specialty materials company, have announced a partnership to enhance circularity in emulsion production by utilizing carbon capture-based materials. 

Earlier this year, Celanese launched a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) project at its Clear Lake, Texas site as part of its Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD. The CCU technology captures industrial CO2 emissions and, using hydrogen, converts them into methanol, which forms 35% of vinyl acetate monomer—a crucial element to produce polymers often used in adhesive formulations.
