Henkel offers a portfolio of paper straw adhesives to support the manufacture of more sustainable straw alternatives. Paper straws are made of two or three layers of paper that are held together by a small amount of adhesive. Henkel is one of the few pioneers in the market offering a high-quality adhesive solution that can be employed on high and low speed machines.
Our water-based AQUENCE® ST adhesives comply with the appropriate food safety standards. They have high resistance to liquids and extreme temperatures, yielding an enjoyable experience for consumers. Under certain conditions, paper straws manufactured with AQUENCE® ST have shown to be compostable.
