Definition of PVC Edge Banding

 

 

PVC edge banding is a thin material used to seal the exposed and raw edges of plywood. Heat sensitive adhesive on one side is applied to the board while the other side acts as a barrier against dirt and moisture. Edgebanding is mainly done to cover plywood sides in order to match a cabinet’s finished look, but it also protects the inner plywood from possibly warping. PVC edge banding is most popular when using Pressure Laminated and Melamine Cabinets. With modern European cabinetry on the rise, it is not uncommon to see cabinets with glossy or colorful finishes. PVC edge banding is made from thermoplastic resin and is known to be both flexible and durable. Pigments and other materials are added to create seemingly endless options of edge banding colors, textures and woodgrains. You are almost guaranteed to find a match once your laminate is chosen! PVC edge banding is most popular when using Pressure Laminated and Melamine Cabinets.

What Should Be the Thickness of PVC Edge Banding?

The thickness of PVC edge banding can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific application.

 

In general, the thickness of PVC edge banding ranges from 0.3mm to 3mm.

 

A thickness of 0.3mm to 0.5mm is considered thin, and is typically used for small edges and low-use surfaces.

 

A thickness of 0.6mm to 1mm is considered medium, and is suitable for most regular use surfaces, and it's the most common thickness found in the market.

 

A thickness of 1mm to 3mm is considered thick and it's used for high-use surfaces, such as countertops, table tops and other heavy-use surfaces.

 

When choosing the thickness of your PVC edge banding, it's important to consider the intended use of the surface, as well as your budget. Thicker PVC edge banding is more durable, but it can also be more expensive.

 

 

Why Is PVC Edge Banding Required?

It is known to us that wooden boards have a raw edge when cut. This raw edge, if left uncovered, can pose serious threats to the furniture as wood has a natural tendency to absorb water. This tendency cannot be removed completely however it can only be reduced. Above all, these raw edges can also injure the consumer if he / she is not alert. With a slight careless movement these raw edges can cause a serious injury. That is the reason PVC edge banding is essential for furniture like workstations, office tables, executive tables, reception tables and all those furniture that has sharp edges.

 

PVC edge banding protects the wooden panels in your furniture from moisture, thus reducing the effects of atmospheric humidity and liquid spills. This means, the strength and durability of the wood increases. So, next time you spill coffee on your table, and it drips down the edge, thank the PVC edge banding for protecting the wood.

 

In few of the home & living furniture one can also find PVC edge banding like the doors of cabinets, wardrobes and side units. This home & living furniture require more than office furniture because there will be kids at home and they will require a danger free zone always.

How to Paint PVC Edge Banding?
 

To extend the life of your PVC edge banding, consider painting it. You can find white or colored PVC edge banding, and you can easily prepare the edge band for painting using the following tips. Sandpaper and tack cloth will make the painting process easy, and if you need a more permanent finish, you can also prime the edge band before painting it. PVC edge banding is inexpensive and comes in different colors.

● Preparation of a PVC edge banding for painting
When applying a new paint, it is important to carefully prepare the surface of a PVC edge banding before painting. The low surface energy of PVC makes it difficult to paint, although it can be painted with some care. Recently developed paints have been formulated to adhere well to PVC. The process is quite straightforward, but proper preparation is necessary to avoid damaging the edges of your PVC edge band.

● Clean the surface of the edging
The first step is to clean the surface thoroughly. A dirty surface will not allow the paint to adhere. Make sure that the surface is clean and free of dust or other debris. Then, prepare the surface with the hot melt adhesive. Once the adhesive is hot, it will adhere to the painted surface. Then, allow the adhesive to dry for a few minutes. If you are using a hot melt adhesive, be sure to carefully follow the instructions for applying it.

● Cover the edging on the edge of the furniture
If you've recently bought furniture, you might have noticed that it has raw edges. While these edges are unsightly, they're also vulnerable to moisture and insect damage. This kind of unsightly edge can also diminish the overall beauty of a home. Luckily, PVC edge banding solutions can remedy these problems. By covering and sealing the edges of your PVC pieces, you can be confident that you'll get the finish you've always wanted.
You can use hot melt adhesive to apply PVC edge banding to your painted cabinets. It's essential to remove any nails that might be visible, as they'll show through the edge band and weaken the bond. The adhesive should also be suitable for painting, so be sure to use an adhesive that has the correct adhesion properties. When using hot melt adhesives, it's important to prepare the edge banding material for painting.

● Tips to apply edging
First, cut the PVC edge banding to fit the panel. Cut the edge banding to be one inch longer than the panel's length. If you're using adhesive, you'll want to cut a strip of one inch longer than the length of the panel, and use scissors to cut it. Once cut, unfold the PVC edge banding and check for splice lines. These appear randomly on the roll and are generally invisible when the clear coat is applied, but you'll want to check for them if they're noticeable. The clear coat generally paints on the wood grain edge banding, solid color, matte design edge banding.

● Applying paint on PVC edge banding
There are a few different methods of preparing PVC edge banding for applying paint. The most common one involves sanding or scuffing the banding with a tack cloth. Then, you can apply paint to the banding. If you are not confident in your paint application, you can try applying hot melt adhesive. This method adheres to well-prepared painted surfaces.
To prepare the PVC edge banding for applying paint, you first need to remove any wax on the surface. You can use sanding paper instead of a power sander. Be sure to sand the edges in all directions to prevent striations. If you use acetone, do not use it because it can harm the surface of PVC by raising the surface energy and causing it to swell.
To prepare PVC edge banding for painting, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always remember to apply the glue in a well-ventilated area. Make sure to apply the adhesive to the entire edge of the material. Then, press it down, working from one end to the other and across the length of the banding. This will eliminate any air trapped beneath the banding and even out the adhesive underneath.

 

How to Judge the Quality of PVC Edge Banding?

● Look at the hue and surface roughness of the edge banding. The color of the surface of a good PVC edge banding is also very important. Whether the color is close to the customized product and gorgeous. If the surface is very rough and there are scratches, the quality will not be much better. This is the surface quality of the edge banding. It has nothing to do with the quality of the inner material of the edge banding, mainly the production process of the edge banding factory and the production technical skills of the employees. A good PVC edge band is: the surface must be smooth, no or very little blistering, no or very little graining, moderate gloss, not too bright or too matte.

● Look at the flatness of the surface and bottom surface of the PVC edge banding, whether the thickness is uniform, otherwise it will cause the joint of the edge banding and the plate, the glue line is too conspicuous or the gap between the plate and the edge banding is too large to affect the overall beauty. Details determine success or failure, and often a small detail problem may bring about an embarrassing situation where the overall effect is not good.

● Whether the edge trimming is whitish, whether the surface of the bending PVC edge banding is seriously whitish, and whether the edge trimming background color of the edge banding is close to the surface color of the board. PVC edge banding is mainly made of PVC and calcium carbonate plus additives. If the content of calcium carbonate is too high, the phenomenon of PVC edge banding and bending will appear, which proves that the quality of this kind of product is not good.

● Whether the strength is OK and whether there is elasticity. High strength means good wear resistance, and the corresponding quality is also better. If the strength is too high, it also means that the processing difficulty is increased. Low elasticity means low wear resistance and low anti-aging ability. In addition, according to the needs of actual production, it is generally necessary to manually trim the edges, and soft points can be appropriately made, and automatic PVC edge banding machines can be appropriately made hard points.

● Whether the adhesive is evenly applied, and whether it is easy to fall off during use.

● Smell whether the PVC edge banding has any smell. Products produced with good quality raw materials generally have little taste. If the taste is too large, it means that the quality of the raw materials used in production is relatively poor.
