FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Henkel Showcases Innovative Solutions at Greenbuild Expo

Henkel Corporation, a worldwide leader in sustainability, will feature its innovative line of OSI® GreenSeries™ construction adhesives and sealants at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo from November 11-13, 2009 in Phoenix, Arizona at booth #4420. Henkel’s OSI® GreenSeries™ brand provides homeowners and building professionals with a complete line of environmentally responsible, high-performance construction adhesives, interior/exterior sealants, and specialty sealants.

OSI® GreenSeries™ is the first adhesive and sealant line developed to meet the evolving needs of the green market with Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions well below government regulated VOC levels. Additionally, OSI® GreenSeries™ sealants increase energy efficiency by effectively reducing air infiltration, while both the sealants and adhesives improve indoor air quality. In fact, all OSI® GreenSeries™ products have earned Indoor Air Quality GREENGUARD® Certifications for Children and Schools, which are the most stringent certifications in the industry. GREENGUARD® is an independent third party that tests for low-emitting products and materials.

A 2,100 square foot standard home built with traditional adhesives and sealants may produce 110 lbs. or more of VOCs. Even VOC-compliant products have high emissions – 60 lbs. or more of VOCs. Using OSI® GreenSeries™ products, the VOC content is dramatically reduced to below 2 lbs. for a standard home.

Using OSI® GreenSeries™ products in conjunction with the usage guidelines set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ can earn a structure 1 LEED point. OSI® GreenSeries™ also helps homes comply with NAHB Green Home Building standards by contributing 5 points toward the certification.

Henkel has been recognized as a worldwide leader in sustainability, and is listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX). Earlier this year, Henkel received the Walmart Sustainability Award for making a substantial contribution to Walmart’s sustainability strategy.
