Classification And Process Of Edge Banding

Edge banding is an indispensable part of panel furniture, the existence of edge banding makes the furniture more environmentally friendly, rich in smooth three-dimensional lines, brilliant colors everywhere show the noble taste of the owner.

Most people only know that panel furniture will use edge banding, and there are some doubts about the type of edge banding, today we will talk about the classification of edge banding, so that everyone has an in-depth understanding of edge banding, and it can come in handy when buying furniture in the future.

Edge banding strips are generally divided into thick edges and thin edges, thick edges are generally more than 1.0 mm thick, mainly used in the furniture outside the plate, if it is too thin, when the collision will not play a role in the furniture to protect a good condition, the outer layer of the edge banding strip must be used thicker, so that the edge of the furniture looks more three-dimensional. Thin-edged edge banding is mainly used on panels that cannot be seen inside furniture, such as drawers.

As a kind of extruded sheet, furniture edge banding strip has a wide range of materials with the efforts of generations of engineers, mainly PVC, ABS, and acrylic materials. With the rapid scarcity of natural resources, in order to replace the traditional aluminum, there is a layer of aluminum alloy covered on the edge banding strip to achieve a metal effect, this kind of edge banding strip with metallic texture is called aluminum edge banding. From the shape point of view, the edge banding strip of panel furniture belongs to the sheet, and there is a difference to the sheet, and the one without a fixed shape is called special-shaped, such as the anti-collision strip of the wardrobe, U-profile, and T-profile.

The process of thick edge and thin edge is not the same, and the process of thick edge is: mixing powder - granulation - thick edge extrusion - embossing - adhesive - pattern printing - UV coating - packaging - warehousing

The process flow of thin edge is: mixing - extrusion sheet - composite finishing - sheet printing - sheet adhesive - sheet embossing - rewinding - sheet slitting - packaging - warehousing

Do you see why the production process of thick edge banding strip and thin edge banding strip is different? This is because the sheet extruded by thin edge is a large roll, and it needs to be divided on this basis when it needs to be wide. Due to the relative thickness of the thick edge, it can only be extruded according to the actual size.
