What Adhesive Should You Use for Furniture Edge Banding?113

As a leading manufacturer of furniture edge banding in China, we are often asked what type of adhesive is best for edge banding applications. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing an adhesive for edge banding:

Type of Edge Banding

The type of edge banding you are using will determine the type of adhesive you need. There are two main types of edge banding: wood edge banding and plastic edge banding.*

Wood edge banding

is made from real wood and is available in a variety of species and finishes. It is typically applied using hot melt adhesive or contact adhesive.*

Plastic edge banding

is made from a variety of plastic materials, such as PVC, ABS, and acrylic. It is typically applied using hot melt adhesive or cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Application Method

The application method you are using will also determine the type of adhesive you need. There are two main methods for applying edge banding: hand application and machine application.*

Hand application

is typically done using hot melt adhesive or contact adhesive. Hot melt adhesive is applied to the edge of the substrate and the edge banding is then pressed into place. Contact adhesive is applied to both the substrate and the edge banding and then the two pieces are pressed together.*

Machine application

is typically done using hot melt adhesive or cyanoacrylate adhesive. Hot melt adhesive is applied to the edge of the substrate and the edge banding is then fed through a machine that presses the two pieces together. Cyanoacrylate adhesive is applied to the edge banding and then the two pieces are pressed together.

Environmental Factors

The environmental factors you will be exposing the edge banding to will also determine the type of adhesive you need. If the edge banding will be exposed to heat or moisture, you will need to use an adhesive that is resistant to these conditions.

Recommended Adhesives

Based on the factors discussed above, here are a few recommended adhesives for furniture edge banding:*

Hot melt adhesive

is a good choice for both wood and plastic edge banding. It is easy to apply and provides a strong bond. Hot melt adhesives are available in a variety of formulations, so you can choose one that is resistant to the environmental factors you will be exposing the edge banding to.*

Contact adhesive

is a good choice for wood edge banding. It is easy to apply and provides a strong bond. Contact adhesives are not as resistant to heat and moisture as hot melt adhesives, so they should not be used in applications where the edge banding will be exposed to these conditions.*

Cyanoacrylate adhesive

is a good choice for plastic edge banding. It is easy to apply and provides a strong bond. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are not as resistant to heat and moisture as hot melt adhesives, so they should not be used in applications where the edge banding will be exposed to these conditions.

Conclusion

The type of adhesive you use for furniture edge banding will depend on the type of edge banding, the application method, and the environmental factors you will be exposing the edge banding to. By choosing the right adhesive, you can ensure that your edge banding will last for many years to come.
