Production

Laminate flooring production is started with the formaldehyde process. Formaldehyde is produced at the facility. In this process, formaldehyde is produced as a result of the oxidation of methanol with oxygen. The next production process is glue production. In this process, formaldehyde is used as the raw material of glue. For the production of glue, in addition to formaldehyde, urea, melamine, phenol, and other additives are also used in production. Glue is produced by mixing all the inputs at a certain temperature. The next process is impregnation. In this line, the raw overlay paper, raw decor paper, and raw balance paper are impregnated with impregnation additives. In HDF production, which is the main raw material of laminate flooring, sawlog, additives, and also the glue that is produced in the facility are used. HDF is produced by going through the processes of chipping, sifting, gluing, drying, and sizing. Overlay, balance, and decor papers impregnated in the impregnation facility are hot pressed on HDF in the Hymmen line. HDF enters the Hymmen line with the impregnated papers. Balance paper is placed on the bottom layer of HDF, decor paper is placed on the top layer of HDF, and overlay paper is placed on top of decor paper.The output product goes to the flooring production line and is cut and packaged to be laminated flooring in the desired dimensions and is ready for delivery at the factory gate.
