Abstract
The invention relates to an edge strip, especially for panels of pieces of furniture, comprising a hot-melt layer which consists of at least one easy-flow polyolefin and the rheological behavior of which can be controlled by means of the melt flow rates of the polyolefins used in hot-melt layer. The invention further relates to a method for producing an edge strip of said type as well as to a panel for pieces of furniture that is connected to an edge strip of said type.
Claims23
The edging strip, in particular for furniture panels, comprising a melt layer composed of a mixture of free-flowing polyolefins selected from a combination of at least two homopolypropylenes or a combination of at least one homopolypropylene and at least one copolymer of propylene, where homopolypropylenes and copolymers of propylene present in said combinations have different melt flow indices (MFI), where the melt flow indices of the homopolypropylenes are in the range from 100 g/10 min. to 1500 g/10 min (in accordance with ISO 1133, 230° C., 2.16 kg).
Adhesive thermoplastic composition suitable for producing a melt layer of an edging strip and comprising a free flowing mixture of polyolefins having different melt flow indices (MFI) and consisting of non-polar monomers, the mixture having a melt flow index (MFI) of at least 100 g/10 min. and the polyolefins being selected from the group consisting of a combination of copolymer of propylene and a homopolypropylene, and a combination of at least two homopolypropylenes, the polyolefins present in said combinations having different melt flow indices.
