Unilin Expands Patent Portfolio for Waterproof Technologies

Unilin Technologies, the IP division of Mohawk Industries, announced it has expanded its portfolio on waterproof edge-coatings for MDF and HDF based boards. An additional United States patent was granted on October 18, 2022, expanding and already substantial US and European patent portfolio.

Unilin’s patent portfolio is the consequence of the early and highly dedicated research and development program that resulted in strong patents with priority dates as of 2015. The newly granted US Patent US 11,473,315, which protects the impregnation of MDF/HDF based boards with different types of coating, is Unilin’s second US patent for waterproof coatings after US 10,655,338. The U.S. patents are following in the footsteps of the European patents that have already been granted.
