Edge sealing is one of the important processes in the production of panel furniture. Which is better, hot melt adhesive edge sealing or laser edge sealing? Many furniture people have faced such confusion when choosing the edge banding scheme. Today, Lubanyuan will share the in-depth analysis article from Henkel adhesive technical expert Deng Dun to help you solve your questions.
In the process of panel furniture production, edge sealing is one of the most important processes. The quality of edge sealing directly affects the final effect of panel furniture. In the process of edge banding, the adhesion of adhesive and edge banding strip has a great impact on the overall effect of furniture edge banding. At present, the most common method in the domestic market is to use hot melt adhesive process for edge sealing. In addition, laser edge banding technology, as a new type of edge banding technology emerging in recent years, has gradually entered the furniture edge banding market.
So, what is laser edge banding machine? What is laser edge banding technology? What are the advantages of laser edge banding? What is the difference between laser edge bonding technology and traditional hot melt adhesive edge bonding? What is the future development trend of panel furniture edge banding? This paper will focus on the above core issues to discuss the edge banding technology of panel furniture.
01 What is plate edge banding? The edge bonding materials (PVC/ABS/PP/PMMA veneer, solid wood strip and HPL, etc.) are bonded to the edge of the plate through the edge bonding machine to achieve the purpose of decoration and protection. This is edge bonding.
According to different process equipment, it can be divided into manual edge banding, machining center edge banding, linear edge banding and soft forming edge banding. What is high quality edge banding:
① Impeccable appearance quality: the glue line is thin, the color of the glue line is consistent with the board surface and edge band, the board surface is clean, there is no residual glue, and the edge band is flat without bumps;
② Qualified bonding strength: peeling force 60-120 N/18mm, taking into account the material breakage rate;
③ Durable resistance: cold and hot cycle resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, weather resistance.
Conditions for high-quality edge banding: high-quality plates plus high-quality edge banding materials can be used to complete high-quality edge banding in a suitable climate and on qualified equipment.
