H.B. Fuller (NYSE: FUL) a lancé Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2, un adhésif innovant pour toitures commerciales qui utilise une technologie de propulsion par cartouche révolutionnaire. Le produit est doté de la technologie brevetée ECO2 Driven™, qui utilise des gaz atmosphériques d'origine naturelle au lieu d'agents gonflants chimiques, éliminant ainsi le besoin de propulseurs à fort potentiel de réchauffement global (GWP) ou d'hydrofluorocarbures (HFO).
Cet adhésif en mousse à deux composants, sans équipement, offre des options de ruban et de pulvérisation, ce qui le rend polyvalent pour l'installation de panneaux d'isolation et de membranes de toiture à dos en feutre. Le système basé sur cartouche offre une couverture significative par unité et soutient la recyclabilité. Par rapport au fixation mécanique, l'adhésif élimine les ponts thermiques, atteint des cotes de soulèvement au vent élevées et minimise les risques de fuites lors de la réfection de toiture.
H.B. Fuller (NYSE: FUL) hat Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2 eingeführt, einen innovativen kommerziellen Dachkleber, der eine bahnbrechende Kartuschenantriebstechnologie nutzt. Das Produkt verfügt über die patentierte ECO2 Driven™ Technologie, die natürlich vorkommende atmosphärische Gase anstelle von chemischen Treibmitteln verwendet und somit die Notwendigkeit für Treibmittel mit hohem globalen Erwärmungspotenzial (GWP) oder Hydrofluorolefine (HFO) beseitigt.
Dieser geräuschlose, zweikomponentige Niedrigschäumkleber bietet sowohl Band- als auch Sprühoptionen, was ihn vielseitig für die Installation von Dämmplatten und Vliesrücken-Dachmembranen macht. Das kartuschenbasierte System bietet eine signifikante Abdeckung pro Einheit und unterstützt die Recyclingfähigkeit. Im Vergleich zur mechanischen Befestigung beseitigt der Kleber Wärmebrücken, erreicht hohe Windlastwerte und minimiert das Risiko von Leckagen während der Dachsanierung.

Insights
H.B. Fuller's launch of Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2 represents a significant technical advancement in commercial roofing adhesives with potential competitive advantages. The product introduces patented ECO2 Driven™ technology - using naturally occurring atmospheric gases instead of chemical blowing agents - creating differentiation in a mature construction materials market.
The dual-delivery spray system (ribbon or spatter) provides application versatility that addresses contractor efficiency needs while the equipment-free canister design reduces logistical complexity on job sites. This positions the product at the intersection of performance and usability, typically key adoption drivers in construction materials.
Compared to mechanical fastening, the adhesive approach offers measurable performance benefits: elimination of thermal bridging, superior wind uplift ratings, and reduced leak/damage risk during re-roofing. These functional advantages create a compelling value proposition beyond environmental compliance.
From a product strategy perspective, this launch demonstrates H.B. Fuller's ability to develop differentiated solutions in its core competency area while addressing emerging regulatory requirements - a sustainable competitive advantage approach rather than merely reactive compliance. The patented technology potentially creates an intellectual property moat that competitors must innovate around, giving Fuller potential pricing leverage and first-mover advantage as environmental regulations continue evolving.
This product launch strategically positions H.B. Fuller to capitalize on the growing intersection between environmental compliance and operational performance in construction materials. By eliminating high Global Warming Potential (GWP) propellants and Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), the company addresses forward-looking environmental concerns before regulatory mandates potentially force industry-wide changes.
Beyond emissions reduction, the product offers meaningful waste management improvements. The canister-based system provides extended coverage per unit compared to traditional alternatives, reducing packaging waste during projects. The recyclability of properly emptied canisters (subject to local regulations) further enhances the sustainability profile.
From a regulatory perspective, Fuller's statement that the product "meets or exceeds current North American environmental standards" while aligning with "emerging global regulations" shows proactive compliance planning. This future-proofing approach reduces regulatory risk exposure while potentially creating market opportunities as competitors scramble to meet strengthening environmental requirements.
What's particularly notable is how the company has maintained performance while enhancing sustainability. In construction applications, contractors rarely accept environmental benefits at the expense of functional performance - this solution addresses both simultaneously. By maintaining strong adhesion properties while reducing environmental impact, Fuller demonstrates sophisticated R&D capabilities that align with growing sustainability demands without sacrificing core product functionality.
Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2 is an equipment-free, canister-based sprayable adhesive that uses a patented blend of naturally occurring environmental gases as a blowing agent, eliminating the need for chemical alternatives.
Designed to meet or exceed current North American environmental standards and align with emerging global regulations for Commercial Roofing, Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2 is easy to use, while supporting sustainability goals. Canister-based adhesives can help reduce job site waste as canisters offer significant coverage area per unit and, when properly emptied, can be recycled depending on local regulations.
“H.B. Fuller is committed to creating innovative solutions that make everyday products cleaner, faster, and more effective,” according to SuAnne Stevens, global vice president, commercial roofing. “Pairing this adhesive delivery method with the ECO2 Driven technology results in a contractor-friendly solution that considers not only the environment but also the overall working conditions for the installer.”
As with the first-generation Millennium PG-1 EF ECO product, the “EF” stands for equipment-free. This two-part low-rise foam adhesive efficiently combines part A with part B dispensed through two canisters and features a unique spray nozzle that quickly and easily transitions between a ribbon or spatter spray. This enables the installation of insulation board and fleece-backed roofing membranes with one product that is easy to use and transport.
In addition, compared to the mechanical fastening of roofing membranes, adhesives eliminate thermal bridging, achieve high wind uplift ratings, and minimize risks of leaks and building damage during re-roofing. These benefits support H.B. Fuller’s commitment to both innovation and sustainability.
With industry-leading performance and patented ECO2 Driven™ technology, Millennium PG-1 EF ECO2 helps customers achieve their operational and sustainability goals while delivering value to roofing contractors and building owners.
