– New Optibevel uses in-line high-precision laser to create premium decorative bevels
– New m-SPC combines waterproof SPC performance with laminate-grade surface resilience
– Both technologies exclusively available from i4F\u00a0\u00a0

DOMOTEX asia\/CHINAFLOOR, SHANGHAI, CHINA, HALL 7.2, BOOTH #C15 \u2013 i4F\u00ae, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the global flooring industry, today announced that it has extended its technology partnership with CFL Flooring. The expanded agreement adds two breakthrough innovations to i4F\u2019s licensing portfolio: Optibevel, a new benchmark in enhanced bevel technology, and Melamine-SPC (m-SPC), a new premium material category for flooring. Both technologies are immediately and exclusively available via an i4F license.\u00a0The new enhanced bevel technology licensed out by i4F as \u201cOptibevel\u201d establishes a new benchmark for enhanced bevel performance, aesthetics, and manufacturing efficiencies by using a high-precision laser to create premium, decorative bevels directly in the profiling line.\u00a0

Optibevel\u2019s in-line laser process overcomes the limitations of traditional cut, painted, and pressed bevel technologies. While conventional pressed bevels eliminate many of the drawbacks associated with cut and painted bevels, they often introduce added process complexity, height differences, material stretching and shrinking, as well as the need for new molds for each size specification. Optibevel delivers perfectly matched bevel-to-surface gloss, design, and texture with greater accuracy, improved production efficiency, and significantly more sizing flexibility. The technology easily adapts to a wide range of flooring formats, from small herringbone planks to large wall panels, and is fully compatible with SPC, WPC, LVT, and other thermoplastics.\u00a0

The partnership also introduces an entirely new premium-level material category called m-SPC, which combines waterproof SPC performance with laminate-grade surface resilience. Designed for any environment, including demanding residential and commercial interiors, m-SPC also delivers enhanced resistance to scratches, stains, wear, and everyday traffic. Additionally, its flexible production approach opens new premium product development opportunities for SPC, WPC and LVT, and laminate manufacturers.\u00a0

Thomas Baert, President of CFL Flooring, says, \u201cOur industry is facing increasing margin pressure, creating a greater need for solutions that meet evolving customer demands while supporting healthy profitability across the supply chain. This is exactly what CFL continues to pursue through innovation. The industry is not served by a race to the bottom – lasting value comes from innovation and differentiation. Having worked closely with i4F for many years, we value the team\u2019s expertise in next-generation technologies. Their global reach and strong industry network make them the obvious choice to license out these new technologies.\u201d

i4F founder and CEO, John Rietveldt, adds, \u201cWe are proud to extend our partnership with CFL Flooring, whose latest technologies once again raise the industry\u2019s bar. Enhanced bevel and m-SPC are both smart, commercially relevant solutions that address key demands. We believe Optibevel is the industry\u2019s most advanced enhanced bevel technology ever. With m-SPC, the wait for a new material able to create new opportunities across multiple manufacturing platforms is over!\u201d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
