  • Publication number: 20070160807
    Abstract: A flexible, grain-through edgeband (edgeband) having a swirl-type, or other type, pattern formed substantially throughout the thickness of the edgeband may be used to cover a portion of an edge of an object, such as a counter, a table, a shelf, or a furniture panel. The swirl-type, or other type, pattern may represent a simulated woodgrain or other effect, and may be visible when the edgeband is trimmed about flush with a top surface and/or a bottom surface of the object. The edgeband may be formed of a mixture of extruded or co-extruded materials having the same or different properties. Additionally, the edgeband may include a plasticizer in an amount sufficient to impart to the edgeband a flex modulus that enables the edgeband to be applied to concave or convex surfaces having radii of less than about ten (10) times the thickness of the edgeband.
