June 9, 2021 [Belgium] Unilin Technologies announced that the floor waterproof coating “Unicoat” is the latest patent innovation in its patent portfolio. The company said that Unicoat waterproof coating forms the ultimate protection against water leakage and prevents damage to the floor when exposed to excessive amounts of water for a long time.
According to the company, Unicoat waterproof coatings for floors have a dual purpose:
–The paint will prevent water from penetrating between the joints of the two floors. The floor surface is thus truly sealed.
–The coating will minimize its moisture absorption by forming a shielding layer, thereby preventing the wood-based core material from swelling. No swelling means there is no edge that pushes up, and there is no premature wear on the upper surface.
According to the company, this state-of-the-art technology was developed and patented by Unilin several years ago and has been introduced to the market as HydroSeal technology in many Quick-Step, Pergo and Mohawk product lines.
In order to use Unicoat to achieve the ultimate waterproof performance, the company said it is best to combine it with one of the Unilin locking systems. For this reason, the built-in pre-tension is specifically designed to ensure the best waterproof performance.
This coating technology is protected by a variety of patents, including patents granted in the United States and Europe.
