The temperature for applying PVC edge banding typically ranges between 180 to 220 degrees Celsius (356 to 428 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature range is crucial for activating the heat-sensitive adhesive on the back of the PVC edge banding, allowing it to bond securely to the substrate (such as plywood, MDF, or particleboard). Here are the […]

Sanding before edge banding is a common practice in woodworking and furniture manufacturing. The goal of sanding before edge banding is to prepare the surface of the substrate (such as plywood or MDF) by creating a smooth and even surface. Here are the key reasons why sanding is typically done before applying edge banding: Smooth […]
