Välinge Innovation continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in flooring and furniture innovation. Its latest technology breakthrough marks a significant advancement in creating building products that perfectly align with the industry’s push towards sustainability and innovation.

Developed in collaboration with Covestro, a leading producer of high-quality polymer materials, this future-proof solution is free from added formaldehyde and melamine and sets a new standard for high-performing and more sustainable surfaces.

“Our collaboration has resulted in an innovative and cost-effective solution to produce melamine and formaldehyde-free building products, including flooring and furniture,” says Alexander Schmittinger, SVP Global Head of Planning and Product Supply and Powder Coating Resins at Covestro.

Designed for paper-based products such as laminate flooring and products incorporating Välinge’s wood powder technology, this groundbreaking advancement offers numerous advantages, including enhanced dimensional stability, improved surface properties and the potential to reduce the need for balancing layers. These enhancements enable manufacturers to achieve unparallelled product performance and exceptional quality.

“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,” says Niclas Håkansson, CEO of Välinge Innovation.
