The edge banding of furniture generally has four functions: beautiful, moisture-proof, anti-fouling, and prevention of volatilization of harmful substances in the board. A good edge banding should have the functions corresponding to these requirements, but first of all it needs to be able to adhere to the section of the board obediently, firm, durable and tight, so as to protect the board and be beautiful. Therefore, the most important indicator of the edge banding is whether the physical properties of its own material are stable, and whether its size is standard and uniform.
PVC and ABS are commonly used materials for edge banding. The raw material for the PVC Edge Banding Series has been around for over 40 years and is still the most common thermoplastic material today. ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) has only been used in furniture manufacturing for more than ten years. It is a thermally stable high-quality thermoplastic material that is anti-vibration and mechanically resistant. Compared with PVC, ABS has the advantages of being more heat-resistant and not easily deformed, and because it can be recycled or burned into ash without producing chlorides, it is easy to dispose of, and has been favored by people.
Practical performance
The bottom surface of Odeya ABS Edge Banding Series has a specified concave surface, which makes it more tightly bonded to the board, and the seams are smaller and more tidy. In addition, the pre-tension of the edge banding can concentrate the excess adhesive to the middle of the back side of the edge banding to ensure the best bonding effect. Oudeya edge banding has a rich stock of colors, it uses computer color matching system for color matching, four-color printing process, clear texture. Additives are added to Odeya ABS Solid Color Edge Banding raw materials to make the color more stable, and it is not easy to change color even under sunlight (ultraviolet rays). The sensitivity test result is above grade 5. When the edge banding is used in the cabinet, it may be contaminated by oil stains and other dirt, and scrubbing is a common thing, which requires it to be waterproof and resistant to chemical substances such as detergents. After testing, Odeya ABS edge strips will not cause problems after being soaked in common household detergents for 24 hours, so you can wash them with confidence.
Although the hardness of ABS Woodgrain Color Edge Banding is lower than that of PVC, ABS is an ideal material for edge banding due to its superior properties such as heat resistance, easy processing, stable size, and convenient disposal. ABS, a thermoplastic material, is becoming more and more popular. The more widely used in furniture and other industries.
