CFL Signs I4F License Agreement for Low-gloss Surface Technology

I4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, announced that CFL has signed a new license agreement with I4F for its low-gloss, matt-effect surface finishing technology. The technology, developed by Tarkett, is exclusively available via an I4F license as one of its surface finishing cluster innovations.

Through the use of a sophisticated patented curing process, this technology delivers a highly realistic matt surface on panels with a minimal variance of gloss grade over time. Additionally, the technology significantly improves surface properties on critical dimensions that can be applied to all levels of gloss. This reinforces flooring panels’ micro-scratch resistance levels and makes cleaning easier—on low gloss as well as standard gloss flooring.
