i4F AquaProtect by i4F
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
i4F AquaProtect is a high-precision, resource-saving impregnation technology that protects laminate-core HDF boards from water swell by up to 75%, thus dramatically increasing their overall water-resistance. The technology applies a hydrophobic impregnation agent, avoiding unnecessary overspray, and seals the joint edges of both V-grooved and non-V-grooved laminate panels. AquaProtect is exclusively available via an i4F license and is the company’s latest addition to its highly advanced process technologies for flooring manufacturers.

Laminate treated with AquaProtect meets all recognised international laminate water-resistance standards and tests, including NALFA and ISO 4760.
AquaProtect is a unique proposition as for a relatively low investment enables laminate manufacturers to significantly upgrade their offering by transforming standard laminate-core HDF boards into highly water-resistant products. AquaProtect also saves on core materials as it allows use of standard HDF boards to obtain the same moisture- resistance performance as HDF with a 20% higher resin content.
The AquaProtect technology is fully compatible with existing laminate manufacturing lines, therefore, requiring relatively low investments to introduce it into production. Unlike other impregnation systems, resource saving AquaProtect technology uses a high-precision spray system that applies the hydrophobic impregnation agent exactly where its needed, avoiding unnecessary overspray.
The impregnation agent’s unique formula is supplied by Riepe, a market-leading company that delivers spraying solutions for the woodworking industry, and is exclusively available for AquaProtect licensees.
John Rietveldt, i4F CEO, said: “We believe AquaProtect is quite simply the most advanced water swell-resistant laminate impregnation technology in the world. Return on a relatively low investment is fast as AquaProtect is easy to introduce into existing laminate production lines meaning manufacturers can offer high quality, premium water-resistant laminate without having to use high cost, high resin HDF boards.”
