Most Edgebanding is applied with hot melt adhesive. The two main choices are EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and PUR (Polyurethane). Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and its application depends on the type of equipment you have and what you are bonding.
EVA based edge banding adhesive is suitable for a wide range of applications and we stock a wide range covering both clear and filled grades, and for both slow speed and fast machine operations.
PUR or polyurethane based adhesives once cured give a very strong permanent bond. Use for high performance applications such as fire-doors, bathroom, and kitchen units. Most PUR’s give strong initial bonds with a full cure in 24 hours.
