i4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today announced it has entered into a strategic patent partnership with HMTX Industries, LLC &#8211; a global flooring company and leading innovator in flooring technologies. As a result of the agreement, i4F has secured exclusive rights to license\u00a0HMTX\u2019s\u00a0SRP\u2122 rigid core TPU flooring technology to third-party decorative panel manufacturers. The rights cover the technology\u00a0and know-how to enable manufacturers to produce, offer and sell SRP flooring products. i4F\u2019s ultimate goal is to\u00a0position\u00a0SRP\u2122 products\u00a0as\u00a0the market standard for decorative floor covering panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SRP\u2122 Rigid Core TPU flooring is a patent pending recyclable technology developed as an environmentally conscious solution to alleviate the challenge of single-use plastics developed by HMTX Industries, in partnership with&nbsp;Huntsman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two plastic bottles*&nbsp;(PET) are upcycled into each square foot of SRP&nbsp;flooring, with a cross-linked polyurethane top layer, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) core layer, and a cross-linked foam back layer. Ultimately, the product will be transformed to an engineered thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) which will be the foundation of a single polymer construction.&nbsp;In a first for the flooring industry, and after a lifetime of use and reuse, SRP\u2122&nbsp;TPU rigid core flooring is designed to be recovered and remade into new SRP\u2122&nbsp;TPU flooring with the exact same characteristics: forged from the ground up for a circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SRP\u2122&nbsp;flooring&nbsp;products are initially made with more than 20 PET water bottles per square meter of flooring, helping to reduce the amount of waste plastics in the environment. The planks and tiles are engineered to be recycled into new SRP\u2122&nbsp;flooring when they reach their end-of-life while maintaining product performance and quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SRP\u2122 rigid core TPU flooring is on show at i4F\u2019s booth as well as in THE GREEN COLLECTION area at DOMOTEX, the technology has also been nominated for a prestigious GREEN COLLECTION Award, in the Eco-friendly Products category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO of HMTX Industries, Harlan Stone comments, \u201cAs one of our long-standing and respected partners, collaborating with i4F on this new technology was the obvious choice. We not only have a shared vision of how the future of global flooring should look but continue to energize each other to make things happen! With SRP rigid core TPU flooring, now the very flooring you walk on can live again. It\u2019s a first real attempt at flooring circularity. We took the ordinary and made it extraordinary with layer upon layer of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Rietveldt, i4F CEO says, \u201cWe are more than proud to partner with HMTX on this ground-breaking technology.&nbsp; Together, we are redefining the standards for fully sustainable flooring. SRP rigid core TPU flooring is a spectacular example of flooring circularity in action as it delivers a renewable technology that relives again and again. This means that flooring may never need to go to a landfill. Instead, it finds new life and evolves for a new generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_dfb81a48a5ff4d7cda7d634859ea06ac\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">Letzte Neuigkeiten<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 31, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 25, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Jan 27, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/news\/\" class=\"btn btn-outline-secondary\">Alle Neuigkeiten anzeigen<\/a><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","categories":[13],"class_list":["post-8054","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","category-partnerships"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
