Unilin receives European patent for Osiris recycling technology.
Unilin Technologies, the intellectual property division of Unilin, has been officially granted the European patent EP 4114629 for its groundbreaking Osiris recycling technology.
At the upcoming Hannover Domotex fair, Unilin IP will present a newly developed locking technology, named Unizip®, which sets a new standard for herringbone glueless flooring panels.
The new locking system, which locks both short and long side of panels in a horizontal and vertical way, allows flooring panels to be installed in both herringbone and/or in standard row patterns, without the traditional need for two sets of panels (the so called “A and B” panels or “left and right” panels).
The Unizip® technology solves many of the logistical and installation issues associated with a traditional herringbone floor. Manufacturers no longer need to manufacture two different types of panels for one floor installation, and as a result manufacturers, distributors and retailers will not need to stock a second type of panel. Unizip® is suitable for all types of flooring, including LVT, SPC, laminate, wood, and others.
Unilin IP will provide more technical details and will show samples of the Unizip® technology during the Domotex Hannover exhibition (11th to 14th of January at Stand B80 in Hall 12).
