Will the Edge Banding Fold When Edge Banding? Why?22

As a leading edge banding strip manufacturer in China, we often encounter questions from our customers about whether the edge banding will fold during the edge banding process. The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no, as there are several factors that can affect the likelihood of folding.

Material of the Edge Banding

The material of the edge banding is a key factor in determining whether or not it will fold. Edge banding materials with a high flexibility, such as PVC and ABS, are less likely to fold than materials with a lower flexibility, such as wood veneer and metal.

Thickness of the Edge Banding

The thickness of the edge banding can also affect its propensity to fold. Thicker edge banding strips are more likely to fold than thinner strips, as they have a greater surface area to resist folding.

Radius of the Edge

The radius of the edge on which the edge banding is being applied can also affect the likelihood of folding. Edges with a smaller radius are more likely to cause the edge banding to fold than edges with a larger radius.

Temperature of the Glue

The temperature of the glue used to apply the edge banding can also affect the likelihood of folding. Glue that is too hot can cause the edge banding to soften and become more likely to fold. Glue that is too cold may not provide a strong enough bond, which can also lead to folding.

Pressure Applied

The amount of pressure applied during the edge banding process can also affect the likelihood of folding. Too little pressure may not create a strong enough bond between the edge banding and the substrate, which can lead to folding. Too much pressure can also cause the edge banding to fold.

In general, there are several steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of edge banding folding:
Using edge banding material with a high flexibility
Using thin edge banding strips
Applying edge banding to edges with a large radius
Using glue at the correct temperature
Applying the correct amount of pressure

By following these tips, you can help to reduce the risk of edge banding folding and achieve a high-quality finish for your furniture.
