Välinge Innovation is still solidifying its position as a world leader in terms of flooring and furniture innovation. Creating building products that completely correspond with the industry’s push towards sustainability and innovation has advanced significantly with its most recent technological achievement. This future-proof solution was created in partnership with Covestro, a top manufacturer of premium polymer materials. It is devoid of additional formaldehyde and melamine and establishes a new benchmark for high-performing and environmentally friendly surfaces.
“Our collaboration has resulted in an innovative and cost-effective solution to produce melamine and formaldehyde-free building products, including flooring and furniture,” notes Alexander Schmittinger, SVP Global Head of Planning and Product Supply and Powder Coating Resins at Covestro.
This innovative development, which was created for paper-based products like laminate flooring and those that use Välinge’s wood powder technology, has many benefits, such as better surface qualities, increased dimensional stability, and the potential to eliminate the need for balancing layers. Manufacturers may now produce products with unmatched quality and performance thanks to these improvements.
“This successful partnership accelerates the evolution of our high-performance surface technologies and unlocks next-level opportunities for innovation. It reinforces our position as a leading innovator and underscores our commitment to push the limits of technology and sustainability,” remarks Niclas Håkansson, CEO of Välinge Innovation.
This digital platform is poised to revolutionise the whole sector as the demand for safer, more sustainable materials increases and as customers and regulators want greater transparency.
