The use of acrylate-based, UV-cured thin primers (typically 1–3 g/sqm) for creating adhesion on melamine surfaces is patented across the EU, Turkey, UK, US, Canada, China, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, and beyond. A license from Mercene is strictly required for the use of this technology, including selling the panels/products produced using it.
If you encounter any coatings manufacturer offering a similar primer without directing you to Mercene for licensing, report this immediately. Unlicensed use, sale, or supply of materials for our patented process is illegal in all jurisdictions where our patents are granted, and will be met with decisive legal action.
We similarly enforce our patents and pending applications covering UV-activated surface activators and lamination adhesives for PP, PET, PMMA, PC, and related composites.
