i4F 宣布推出 AquaProtect 技术

HAMONT, BELGIUM – i4F，一家专注地板行业专利和技术解决方案的集团，今天宣布其将推出 AquaProtect 技术，这是一项由其知识产权合作伙伴 Classen 开发的专利技技术。

HAMONT, BELGIUM – i4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today announced the introduction of AquaProtect, a patented technology developed by its IP partner Classen. 

AquaProtect 是一项施工精细化、材料节约型的浸渍技术，可以保护强化 HDF 板免受吸水膨胀的影响（最高可达75%），从而大幅提高其整体防水性能。经 AquaProtect 技术处理的强化地板符合所有公认的国际强化地板防水标准和测试，包括 NALFA 以及 ISO 4760。AquaProtect 通过 i4F 独家许可，是公司为地板制造商提供先进生产工艺的最新扩充。

AquaProtect is a high precision, resource-saving impregnation technology that protects laminate-core HDF boards from water surface swell by up to 75%, thus increasing dramatically their overall water resistance. Laminate treated with AquaProtect meets all recognized international laminate water-resistance standards and tests, including NALFA and ISO 4760.  AquaProtect is exclusively available via an i4F license and is the company’s latest addition to its highly advanced process technologies for flooring manufacturers.

AquaProtect 与众不同，因为它以相对较低的投资使强化地板制造商将标准强化 HDF 板转为高度防水的产品，从而大大提升产品竞争力。AquaProtect 还可以节省原材料，因为它使用标准的 HDF 板，即可达到与树脂含量高出 20% 的 HDF 板有相同的防潮性能。

AquaProtect is a unique proposition as for a relatively low investment enables laminate manufacturers to significantly upgrade their offering by transforming standard laminate-core HDF boards into highly water-resistant products. AquaProtect also saves on core materials as it allows for the use of HDF boards to obtain the same moisture-resistance performance as HDF with a 20% higher resin content.

AquaProtect 技术与现有的强化地板生产线完全兼容，因此，将其引入生产所需的投资相对较低。与其他浸渍系统不同，AquaProtect 技术可节约用量，采用高精度的喷涂系统，准确喷涂疏水性浸渍剂到需要的位置，避免不必要的过度喷涂。AquaProtect 能密封 V 型倒角和无倒角的强化地板拼接处。

The AquaProtect technology is fully compatible with existing laminate manufacturing lines, therefore, requiring relatively low investments to introduce it into production. Unlike other impregnation systems, resource-saving AquaProtect technology uses a high-precision spray system that applies the hydrophobic impregnation agent exactly where its needed, avoiding unnecessary overspray. AquaProtect seals the joint edges of both V-grooved and non-V-Grooved laminate panels.

浸渍剂的独特配方由 Riepe 公司提供，该公司处于市场领先地位，为木工行业提供喷涂解决方案。浸渍剂配方由 AquaProtect 独家许可。

The impregnation agent’s unique formula is supplied by Riepe, a market-leading company that delivers spraying solutions for the woodworking industry, and is exclusively available for AquaProtect licensees.

i4F 的首席执行官 John Rietveldt 先生表示：“我们相信，AquaProtect 是世界上最先进的防吸水膨胀浸渍处理技术。AquaProtect 很容易被引入现有的强化地板生产线，因此投资相对较低，且回报很快，这意味着生产商可以提供优质防水强化板，不必使用高成本、高树脂含量的HDF板。”  

John Rietveldt, i4F CEO, comments, “We believe AquaProtect is quite simply the most advanced water swell-resistant laminate impregnation technology in the world. Return on a relatively low investment is fast as AquaProtect is easy to introduce into existing laminate production lines meaning manufacturers can offer high quality, premium water-resistant laminate without having to use high cost, high resin HDF boards.”
