Furniture edge banding is a material used to protect the cross-section of furniture panels (prevent moisture damage), decorate cutting surfaces, and beautify them. It can make a piece of furniture show a clear and colorful overall effect of wood grain. Can furniture edge banding be used on cabinets?
Currently, PVC sealing strips and ABS, as well as plastic edge banding, are commonly used. Among them, ABS edge banding has many advantages. Firstly, it is an environmentally friendly, recyclable and reusable material. Secondly, ABS is a material with good comprehensive mechanical properties, with high strength and toughness, making it a strong and tough material. The usage temperature of ABS products is -40 ° C to 100 ° C, and the usage temperature of PVC products is -30 ° C to 80 ° C. It can be seen that compared with PVC, ABS products have a wider application range. The edge banding strip processed with ABS upholds the excellent performance of ABS itself. Compared with traditional PVC edge banding strips, it not only has the same strength but also has the advantage of strength and toughness that PVC edge banding strips cannot match. It is an ideal material for edge banding and closing decoration in the new generation of furniture.
In addition to being aesthetically pleasing and durable, modern furniture should also possess inherent qualities. Due to its low shrinkage rate and high thermal deformation temperature, ABS has good dimensional stability and will not experience excessive shrinkage or expansion due to large temperature differences. This characteristic is of great significance for the storage and transportation of edge banding and furniture products. However, traditional PVC edge banding has a low thermal deformation temperature and the addition of plasticizers and other additives with certain migration and extraction properties. Its dimensional stability is worse than ABS edge banding, and improper storage and transportation can easily cause deformation and shrinkage, affecting the appearance and firmness of furniture.
Therefore, using furniture edging on cabinets not only has a waterproof effect, but also has a beautifying effect.
