Unilin Technologies, the intellectual property arm of Unilin, has been issued a notice of allowance for its patent application, US 18/450,106. This soon-to-be-granted patent encompasses innovative flooring products crafted from PET polymers, including PETG and R-PET, featuring an advanced locking system. The patent will be exclusively available for licensing through Unilin, enabling the production of various PET-based flooring solutions.
Floris Koopmans, Sales & Marketing director at Unilin Technologies says: “We’re excited to see this new technology making its way into the flooring market, as it offers manufacturers and distributors a distinctive, sustainable, and PVC-free alternative.”
This notice of allowance reflects Unilin’s commitment to sustainable innovation and its dedication to eco-friendly materials. Unilin will bring this new patented technology to market as “P-SPC” (PET-based Solid Polymer Composite). By opening up this innovative technology as a licensable solution, Unilin offers their licensees an eco-friendly, PVC-free product with the look and feel known from SPC products, at a comparable investment rate.
All traditional Unilin locking technologies can be incorporated into PET-based products, which can also be finished with a wide variety of industry-standard top layers, including PETG, melamine and digitally printed surfaces.
