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 an EVA backing layer. The edge of the wood or wood composite material is bonded to a polypropylene edge band by an EVA backer layer that includes EVA-based glue. Bonding between the edge band and composite wood material is achieved without the use of a primer.
Claims15
A method of applying an edge banding to a support surface, comprising:
- coextruding an edge band layer and an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) backing layer such that a bond forms between the edge band layer and the EVA backing layer;
- applying a heated EVA-based glue to the EVA backing layer to form an EVA-based glue layer;
- and
- applying the EVA-based glue to a support surface such that a bond forms between the EVA-based glue layer and the support surface.

An edge banding for a composite surface, comprising:
- a polymer edge band layer;
- an ethylene-vinyl acetate backing layer bonded to said polymer edge band layer through coextrusion;
- and
- an ethylene-vinyl acetate-based glue material applied to the ethylene-vinyl acetate backing layer to form a mixed ethylene-vinyl acetate-based glue layer.
