Edge bands are the strips of different materials used to cover the edges of the melamine boards that the furniture industry needs to manufacture the pieces in its catalogues. The different types of edge bands for melamine have different properties that need to be taken into account.
Its mission is to provide additional aesthetic value to each board, by covering the sides of the chipboard or MDF board and giving it special protection against heat and humidity, as well as making it more resistant to knocks and scratches, thus increasing its durability. This ensures the quality of the product in the long term, in an environment of continuous and intensive use.
In general, in the sector, there are ABS PVC edge bands, wood edge bands and melamine paper edge bands. We can already tell you that, at Protecnic, we are specialists in PVC ABS edgebands sample book., generated through a plastic extrusion process which, in our opinion, are the ones that offer the best results.
However, to give you a better understanding of the different types of melamine edge bands available, we also explain the other two options.
- Wooden ones are made from rigid or flexible strips and require a curing and waterproofing treatment, as they can absorb moisture, grow in size and detach from the board.
- Melamine paper boards are based on cellulose impregnated with resins. They are very strong but not very flexible, which is a disadvantage in the case of boards with curved edges.
That's why we always recommend PVC ABS edgebands sample book.among the other types of edge bands for melamine. We use thermoplastic resins as a material, which are impact and heat resistant and, by applying our technologies and plastic extrusion processes, we achieve a durable and highly versatile result, capable of replicating the designs that melamine board manufacturers bring to the market year after year.
