Tips for choosing PVC edge banding

PVC edge banding is made of polyvinyl chloride as the main raw material. It is widely used in people's lives to protect, decorate and beautify the cross-section of furniture boards. PVC edge banding has the advantages of light weight, high quality and low price, no rot and no rust. However, there are many mixed products on the market, and many consumers do not know how to identify the quality, and have no idea where to start when purchasing. Today, Chuanli Plastic will introduce you to some tips for purchasing PVC edge banding, hoping to help you.

First of all, among the total number of edge bandings, we can observe and compare the colors. Generally, the surface finish of brightly colored PVC edge banding is relatively better; the darker the color, such as black, gray, etc., the greater the possibility of using recycled materials. If it is purchased in large quantities, the color of each batch of edge banding must be consistent, and the smaller the color difference between different batches, the better the quality.

In addition, if it is an edge banding kneaded on the furniture, you need to look at the coating of the back treatment agent. Generally, transparent and white treatment agents are better. If the back is not properly treated, the edge bonding will be weak and easy to fall off in the future.

Then pick up the PVC edge banding and smell it for any smell. Generally, edge banding produced by good quality raw materials has little smell or almost no smell. If the edge banding smells too strong, it means that the quality of the raw materials used in production is relatively poor.

Then pick up a PVC edge banding and fold it hard (generally, merchants who have enough confidence in the quality of their products will allow it). The harder it is to break, the better the quality. At this time, because less calcium carbonate is added, the toughness and strength of the label strip are better.

The surface of the PVC edge banding is smooth, without bubbles, no drawing lines, and moderate gloss; the surface and back are flat, the thickness is uniform, the elasticity is high, and the wear resistance is strong. It is a good helper to protect furniture.
