  • Publication number: 20150064414
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to bonding an edge banding to the edge of wood or wood composite furniture by using a co-extruded dual compound polypropylene edge band that contains a main body of polypropylene and a primerless EVA backing layer. The edge of the wood or wood composite material is bonded to a polypropylene edge band by an EVA-based glue applied by an edge banding machine at the point of furniture manufacture. Bonding between the edge band and composite wood material is achieved without the use of a primer.

  • Publication number: 20120128925
    Abstract: A T-molding to use on an edge of composite wood furniture comprises an underlayer fabricated from an extruded rubber-modified polyolefin blended with an antioxidant, and an outer coating substantially covering the outboard surface of the underlayer, with the outer coating being formed from an acrylic material. Often, the underlayer is flame-treated.

  • Publication number: 20090280321
    Abstract: Edge banding comprises an outer layer comprising a thermoplastic selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polyvinyl chloride and an under layer comprising ethylene vinyl acetate. The outer layer and the under layer are thermally bonded by co-extrusion. The prior need for a primer is eliminated. Delamination caused by improper application of primer is eliminated.
