Patent number: 10016786Abstract: A process for manufacturing a coated panel. The process can comprise providing a panel having at least an upper surface, a lower surface, and edges joining the upper surface and the lower surface. The panel can be arranged so that the lower surface is facing upwards, and first particles can be dispersed on the lower surface of the panel. The process can comprise turning the panel so that the upper surface is facing upwards, and applying first particles and second particles on the upper surface of the panel. A décor can be applied in the form of a printed pattern to the upper surface. The process can further comprise curing and/or melting the first particles to form a sealed upper surface whereby the surface forms a coating providing at least one property of abrasion resistance and scratch resistance on the surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: PERGO (EUROPE) ABInventors: Magnus Quist, Peter Miller, Jan Ericsson

Patent number: 8597766Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer, a decor and a wear layer of a UV or electron beam curing lacquer. One or more structured surfaces, forming embossing surfaces of one or more rollers or moulds, are positioned on top of the decorative lacquered surface, possibly after having cured the lacquer to a desired viscosity, and are continuously or discontinuously pressed on to this. The lacquer will be provided with a surface structure which enhances the decorative effect of the decor. The wear layer is then completely cured.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2009Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Pergo (Europe) ABInventors: Magnus N. Nilsson, Lars Ohlsson, Magdalena Christiansson, Krister Hansson, Jan Ericsson

Patent number: 7855246Abstract: A plastic pipe is made of a cross-linked polyolefin to be utilized in, but not limited to, potable water applications. Certain antioxidants and stabilizers are added to a process for producing the plastic pipe. The added antioxidants and stabilizers remain as key components in the final plastic pipes, providing superior long term stability and resistance to oxidative degradation, the latter being caused by but not limited to, chlorinated water environments. At least a primary stabilizer is used in the material.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Uponor Innovation AbInventors: Jan Ericsson, Jacob John, Lucas Brickweg
