Edge Banding - Ironing Veneer Edge Banding23

The edge banding is a long and narrow material for furniture edge sealing, which can improve the appearance of furniture, protect the base material from moisture and damage, and reduce the occurrence of formaldehyde emission. Ironing veneer edge banding is a kind of edge banding, which is made of decorative paper impregnated with melamine resin and backed with non-woven fabric, and then cut into strips of different widths and thicknesses. It has the characteristics of bright color, clear texture, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, moisture resistance and heat resistance, and is widely used in the edge sealing of various panels such as furniture, cabinets and wardrobes.

The production process of ironing veneer edge banding is relatively simple, mainly including the production of decorative paper, impregnation with resin, drying, laminating with non-woven fabric, cooling and cutting. Among them, the production of decorative paper is the key, which directly affects the quality of the edge banding. The common production methods of decorative paper include gravure printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, digital printing, etc. The printing process and ink quality will affect the color, pattern and gloss of the decorative paper.

The impregnation of resin is to improve the physical and mechanical properties of decorative paper, make it have certain flexibility and toughness, and improve its bonding strength with the base material. The commonly used resins are melamine resin, phenolic resin and urea-formaldehyde resin. The amount of resin impregnation and the curing conditions will affect the performance of the edge banding.

Drying is to remove the solvent in the resin and make the decorative paper have a certain strength. The drying temperature and time need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the decorative paper is fully dried and does not affect the bonding strength of the edge banding.

Laminating with non-woven fabric is to increase the thickness and strength of the edge banding, and improve its bonding strength with the base material. The commonly used non-woven fabrics are polyester non-woven fabric, polypropylene non-woven fabric and viscose non-woven fabric. The weight and thickness of the non-woven fabric will affect the performance of the edge banding.

Cooling is to reduce the temperature of the edge banding and make it easy to cut. The cooling method can be natural cooling or forced cooling. Natural cooling takes a long time, while forced cooling can shorten the cooling time and improve production efficiency.

Cutting is to cut the edge banding into strips of different widths and thicknesses according to customer requirements. The cutting method can be manual cutting or machine cutting. Manual cutting has high flexibility, but low efficiency; machine cutting has high efficiency, but low flexibility. The choice of cutting method should be based on actual production needs.

In summary, ironing veneer edge banding is a kind of edge banding with excellent performance, widely used in furniture, cabinet and wardrobe edge sealing. Its production process is relatively simple, including the production of decorative paper, impregnation with resin, drying, laminating with non-woven fabric, cooling and cutting. The quality of ironing veneer edge banding is mainly determined by the quality of decorative paper, the amount of resin impregnation, the curing conditions, the weight and thickness of non-woven fabric, and the cutting accuracy.
