The edgebanding of furniture panels is a key application to the finishing of the product. Panels can be edgebanded on two or four sides, either with flat edgebanding or with the soft-forming technique. According to Taka Adhesives, the use of its hygro-reactive polyurethane hot melts (HMPUR) results in finished products with much higher performance, delivering heat resistance to greater than 150°C, water resistance, and vapour resistance for panels (front doors) for kitchens.
Taka says its HMPUR adhesives allow for a thinner glue line – EVA glue line thickness is 0.2-0.25mm, while HMPUR glue line thickness is 0.1-0.12mm.
As a result of ongoing research, Taka has developed a range of products which meet the following requirements: easy workability; high stability in the machine; (melters) especially during prolonged machine downtime; no formation of threads during the glue application, resulting in clean panel surfaces; high initial tack, especially in hot weather and when using edgebands thicker than 1mm; and an almost invisible glue line (different than that achieved with EVA- or PO-based products).
For edgebanding application, Taka’s key products to satisfy the most varied needs are:
While the flat side of the panel may be easy to edgeband, the soft-forming side of the panel requires high-performance adhesives. Taka has formulated two products that meet these requirements:
