Edge bonding or edgebanding is the final part, yet a decisive step, of the production process of panels, doors and other furniture elements once the surface finish has been applied. In fact, after the flat surface has been laminated or (…)
In our everyday lives, we are always surrounded by adhesive joints, and we are often unaware that the vast majority of items we use every day are only feasible thanks to adhesives. In the household, the spectrum ranges from flooring (…)
The world of PVC window laminated with decorative foil For a long time, the PVC window was inferior to the dominant materials such as wood and aluminium. But not only since the emerging energy crisis has this high-tech product enjoyed (…)
Foil lamination is an industrial process in which decorative foils are bonded to substrate materials in order to improve their appearance and feel. Foil lamination is particularly interesting for manufacturing companies, as the added value generated by this refinement process (…)
The glue application phase is one of the most critical phases in the lamination process, and to ensure that it is done correctly it is necessary to pay attention to the following features: The HMPUR adhesive temperature inside the melting (…)
A UV (Ultra Violet) lamp or Wood’s Lamp (after the American scientist Robert Williams Wood) is a light source that emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly in the ultraviolet wavelengths and, in a negligible manner, in the visible light range. A UV (…)
In order to guarantee proper adhesion, it is recommended to keep the pressure on while the temperature in the glueing line remains between 38° – 40°C. Once the profile has been wrapped, it is important to assess the adhesion by (…)
One of the key components of the wrapping process is the coating head that spreads glue on the foil that shall be wrapped around the profile, creating a very thin adhesive layer on the foil surface. In order to ensure (…)
The profile wrapping sector is becoming increasingly competitive and in order to ensure the quality of production it is therefore necessary to consider some key features of the materials and the lamination equipment. Let’s have a look at some features: (…)
There are three types of primer on the market: those with MEK-based solvent (flammable), those with DCN-based solvent (non flammable) and those with little or no VOCs. The length of the machine (specifically, the distance between the primer application area (…)
