ヘンケルジャパン Company Overview

Henkel Japan Corporation's Consumer & Construction Division has launched three alcohol-free silicone sealant products that do not generate MEKO (methyl ethyl ketone oxime) as a byproduct, along with one silicone sealing primer, on September 15, 2026, in anticipation of strengthened management regarding MEKO starting in April 2027. The lineup includes "Multi-Purpose Seal [Clear]" suitable for a wide range of applications, "High Durability Glass & Sash [Black]" suitable for windows, sashes, and outdoor areas, and "High Durability Bath & Kitchen [White]" suitable for water areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. *1 MEKO (Cas NO. 96-29-7) methyl ethyl ketone oxime, or butan-2-one oxime *2 No intentionally added oxime-based compounds are used as raw materials, and the design does not generate MEKO as a byproduct during curing. The new products adopt a curing method that does not generate MEKO as a byproduct. They are easy to switch from conventional oxime-type silicone sealants and help reduce the additional management burden associated with MEKO. In addition to addressing MEKO, the performance required on construction sites has been optimized for various applications.

The packaging division will propose various solutions for sustainable packaging, keeping in mind the strengthening of packaging regulations and the response to recycling design progressing in Europe. At the Henkel booth, we will introduce coatings, adhesives, and sealants that contribute to improving recyclability and reducing plastic usage. Additionally, we will present various solutions aimed at achieving circular packaging, including non-solvent laminating adhesives that contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, we will also introduce Packaging Recyclab Shanghai, which recently passed an official audit by the cyclos-HTP Institute (CHI) and obtained certification in August of this year.
