PVC edge banding tape manufacturing process

The edge banding tape produced by Shanghai Luyao Industrial Co., Ltd. is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with additives added. The material is processed by extrusion, calendering, printing and sealing to make high-quality edge banding. PVC is a widely used plastic known for its excellent physical and chemical properties.

Features of PVC edge banding

• Diverse appearance and texture: PVC edge banding tape offers a variety of colors and textures, such as wood grain, marble and fabric patterns. These realistic designs meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers and enhance the overall appearance of the product.
• Excellent physical properties: PVC edge banding tape has high hardness, good elasticity, strong wear resistance and is not easy to deform. It can withstand impact and pressure, has good fire resistance, oil resistance and corrosion resistance, and prolongs its service life.
• Easy to process and install: PVC edge banding is easy to cut, bend and paste manually or mechanically. The installation process is simple and quick, does not require complex tools or techniques, and reduces the difficulty and cost of construction.
• Environmentally friendly and healthy: Harmful substances are strictly controlled during the production process of high-quality PVC edge banding tape to ensure compliance with environmental standards. No harmful gases are released during use, which is harmless to human health and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern homes.
• Strong weather resistance: PVC edge banding tape can resist changes in temperature, humidity and ultraviolet rays, maintaining stable performance and appearance. This makes it valuable in both indoor and outdoor decoration.
• Economic: Compared with high-end materials such as solid wood edge banding, PVC edge banding is more cost-effective and affordable. Its long service life and low maintenance cost make it an economical choice for decorative materials.

PVC edge banding tape manufacturing process

• Material selection: Select high-quality PVC resin as the main raw material, as well as plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers and other necessary additives. The selection of these materials is based on product performance requirements to ensure durability, corrosion resistance and easy processing.
• Quality inspection: The raw materials are inspected and meet production requirements. Non-compliant materials are not used to avoid affecting product quality.
• Formula: Design a reasonable formula based on product performance and market demand, determine the type and amount of PVC resin, plasticizer, stabilizer, filler, and ensure good processing performance and physical properties.
• Mixing: Use a mixer to mix the raw materials evenly and control the temperature to prevent chemical reactions or decomposition at high temperatures.
• Plasticization: Heat and pressurize the mixed PVC material in the extruder to melt and plasticize it. Adjust parameters such as temperature, pressure, and screw speed to ensure stable shape and performance during the extrusion process.
• Extrusion: Extrude the molten PVC material into continuous strips, maintain a stable speed and pressure, and make the cross-section and surface quality uniform.
• Cooling: The extruded PVC strips are quickly cooled and shaped in a water tank, and the water temperature and flow rate are controlled to ensure uniform cooling and prevent deformation or internal stress.
• Shaping: The cooled PVC strips are further shaped during the traction process and accurately shaped.
• Cutting: The edge banding is cut to a predetermined length to ensure quality and dimensional accuracy.
• Packaging: The finished edge banding is inspected for appearance, size, and physical properties, and then packaged with moisture-proof and dust-proof materials, and affixed with product information labels for storage and transportation.
• Printing: Some PVC edge bandings require printing patterns or texts, and special equipment and inks are used to achieve high-quality results.

Application of PVC edge banding

1. Furniture industry: PVC edge banding is widely used in furniture manufacturing, used for edge banding of cabinets, tables, etc., to protect edges, improve aesthetics and durability.
2. Architecture and decoration: PVC edge banding tape is used for doors, educational equipment, laboratory equipment and decorative panels to prevent moisture, deformation and wear, and extend the life of the material.
3. Other industries: PVC edge banding is also used for profiles and special-shaped materials such as doors and windows and energy-saving materials.
