High Heat Resistance Wood Grain Edge Banding for Furniture Manufacturing and Interior Decoration-M7150

       Wood grain edge banding strips are materials used for the decoration and protection of the edges of furniture and boards. Their main function is to wrap the edges of man-made boards (such as particleboard and medium-density fiberboard), giving them an appearance similar to that of solid wood furniture. Meanwhile, they can also prevent the edges of the boards from getting damp and being worn out.

I. Types of Materials

• PVC Wood Grain Edge Banding Strips
  • This is the most common type of material. It is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the raw material. Through the addition of plasticizers, stabilizers, pigments and other additives, it is manufactured by the extrusion molding process. It has good flexibility and can be easily bent to fit the edges of various shaped boards. For example, when making the edges of curved tabletops, PVC wood grain edge banding strips can adapt well to the curved shapes. Moreover, it has a rich variety of colors and textures and can imitate the textures of various woods, such as oak, walnut, cherry, etc. And its price is relatively inexpensive.
• ABS Wood Grain Edge Banding Strips
  • ABS is an engineering plastic composed of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B) and styrene (S) through copolymerization. ABS wood grain edge banding strips have relatively high strength and toughness, and their wear resistance is better than that of PVC. Meanwhile, their anti-aging performance is also excellent. In some occasions where higher quality requirements are placed on edge banding strips, such as high-end furniture or frequently used furniture (like the edges of office desks), ABS wood grain edge banding strips are a good choice. However, their prices are generally higher than those of PVC edge banding strips.

II. Product Features

• Decorative Function
  • Wood grain edge banding strips can give furniture a realistic wood-like appearance. The wood grain patterns on their surfaces are made through printing, heat transfer printing and other processes, which can accurately simulate the detailed textures of various woods, from the rough textures of solid wood to the delicate textures of precious woods. This enables panel furniture to rival solid wood furniture in appearance and improves the overall aesthetics of the furniture.
• Protective Function
  • For the edges of boards, edge banding strips are an important protective barrier. They can prevent the edges of the boards from absorbing moisture, thus avoiding the expansion and deformation of the boards due to dampness. Meanwhile, they can also reduce the mechanical damage such as collisions and scratches that the edges may suffer during daily use and extend the service life of the furniture. For example, in kitchen cabinets, edge banding strips can prevent water vapor and oil stains from penetrating into the interior of the boards and keep the cabinets clean and durable.
• Ease of Installation

Most wood grain edge banding strips are designed to be easy to install. They usually come with adhesive on the back, and you just need to stick the edge banding strips on the edges of the boards. Some professional edge banding strips can also be used in combination with edge banding machines. Through heating, pressing and other methods, the edge banding strips can be firmly combined with the edges of the boards, which greatly improves the installation efficiency. Even non-professionals can operate them to a certain extent.

III. Application Areas

• Furniture Manufacturing

In the production of panel furniture, almost all the edges of the furniture need to be decorated and protected by edge banding strips. This includes bedroom furniture (such as beds, wardrobes, bedside tables), living room furniture (such as TV cabinets, coffee tables), dining room furniture (such as dining tables, dining chairs), etc. By using wood grain edge banding strips, the appearance and quality of panel furniture can be greatly improved.

• Interior Decoration

Edge banding strips also have a wide range of applications in interior decoration. For example, during the installation process of custom-made wardrobes, cabinets, bookshelves and other cabinets, using wood grain edge banding strips can make the cabinets integrate better with the surrounding environment and also protect the edges of the cabinets. In addition, wood grain edge banding strips can also be used on the edges of some wooden decorative lines (such as skirting boards, cornices) to increase their decorative and protective properties.
