An edge banding strip is a long and narrow material used for edge treatment of furniture and panels.
Functionally, it mainly serves to seal and protect the edges of panels. It can prevent physical damage such as bumps and scratches to the edges of panels. At the same time, it effectively avoids the panels from getting damp, because many panels are prone to expansion and deformation if their edges are affected by moisture. Besides, the edge banding strip also plays a role in beautifying the appearance of furniture, making the edges look neater, more delicate, and in harmony with the overall style.
In terms of material types, there are several common ones. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) edge banding strips are the most widely - used. They have good flexibility, which enables them to be easily attached to the edges of panels of various shapes, whether it's a straight - edged or a curved - edged panel. They come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Different pigments and additives can be used to produce various colors such as white, black, brown, and can also simulate a variety of natural textures like wood - grain and stone - grain, so they can match well with different - styled furniture. Moreover, PVC edge banding strips are relatively inexpensive and cost - effective, suitable for large - scale production and application, especially widely used in some budget - friendly furniture.
ABS (Acrylonitrile - Butadiene - Styrene copolymer) edge banding strips have more superior performance than PVC ones. They have relatively high strength and toughness and good impact resistance, and are not easily broken or damaged when subjected to external impact. Their chemical resistance is also excellent, and they can withstand some common chemicals such as cleaning agents and disinfectants, so they perform well on furniture used in kitchens and laboratories. However, the price of ABS edge banding strips is generally higher than that of PVC ones, which limits their application in some cost - sensitive products.However, yueda plastic company has many years of production technology and large-scale production, and can provide customers with the most favorable price.
