These provide significant advantages over traditional laminate flooring as well as decorative furniture panels, and greatly improve in-room acoustics. Additionally, innovative technologies make panels softer to the touch as well as fingerprint and footprint resistant. As part of the agreement, i4F obtains exclusive licensing rights to PurChem\u2019s patented technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/purchem.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8891\" style=\"width:640px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/purchem.png 247w, https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/purchem-124x50.png 124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in&nbsp;Brantford, Ontario, PurChem is a Canadian company specializing in innovative, formaldehyde-free adhesives and coatings for wood-based products, including flooring, furniture, and composite panels. PurChem has developed, and owns, various breakthrough technologies, including SilentTouch, OneLayer, DryCoat, and FlexWood elastic panels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SilentTouch enhances laminate surfaces to look, feel, and sound like natural wood, offering a durable, noise-reducing, and sustainable alternative for flooring and furniture. SilentTouch treated overlay papers are elastic, enabling HDF panels to be relaxed and stress-free as well as flexible and up to 50% thinner than traditional laminate. The patented elastomer treated paper layers also absorb room and footfall sound energy. Traditional melamine laminate surfaces amplify and reflect sound energy up to 10 times more (+10 dB louder) than SilentTouch. OneLayer is an&nbsp;innovative coating system&nbsp;that simplifies production by applying a&nbsp;single, high-performance layer&nbsp;to surfaces, enhancing&nbsp;durability, aesthetics, and efficiency&nbsp;while reducing material and energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert Clausi, Founder &amp; Owner of PurChem Systems, says, \u201cWe are 100% focused on the wood-based products market, and with flooring representing a substantial part of that industry, we believe a partnership with i4F, with its broad reach, will expand accessibility to these technologies. Laminate has long been an essential part of the flooring industry, but while SPC and WPC have evolved rapidly, laminate has remained stagnant. Our new technologies with elastic resins set a new standard versus traditional melamine surfaces, delivering unparalleled performance while maintaining sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Rietveldt, i4F\u2019s CEO, adds, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with PurChem to revolutionize the laminate market with innovations that can rival new material-based products. Consumers want the beauty of natural-looking large wood planks\u2014without the noise and fragility. Combine that with a resilient, warm-to-the-touch, fingerprint-resistant surface and an easy-to-install system, and you have a game-changer: silent, soft-touch laminate flooring! It looks, sounds, and feels like real hardwood, delivers unmatched quietness and durability, and comes at the price of premium laminate\u2014all made from natural materials, free from plastic and PVC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_67eea1253f1fe\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 31\u65e5<\/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\/zh-hans\/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\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 25\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 1\u6708 27\u65e5<\/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\/zh-hans\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-8885","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
