Välinge Develops New Flooring Based on Powder Technology

Viken, SE, May 14, 2015--Välinge Group has developed a new flooring called Flexdura, based on powder technology. A waterproof thermoplastic core is combined with a high quality surface comprised of thermosetting melamine resins.

The new Flexdura floor is an alternative to LVT and ceramic tile, and its major advantages are cost efficient production and superior surface and core properties, which allow the material to form strong locking systems for floating installations.

According to Välinge this marks the first time it has been possible to combine powder based thermoplastic and thermosetting materials. The new technology provides the advantages of a strong powder based melamine surface layer with unlimited designs through digital printing, laminated to a thermoplastic waterproof core to form visuals comparable to those of LVT and ceramic tile.
