How to choose furniture wood edge banding glue?

When choosing furniture edge banding glue, it is indeed necessary to choose the right glue according to different needs and characteristics.

The following is a comparison and difference between several common furniture edge banding glues such as EVA glue, PA hot melt glue, POR hot melt glue, etc.:

1. EVA glue (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin-based hot melt glue):

Features: solvent-free thermoplastic adhesive, suitable for a wide range of substrates, the main limitations are poor heat resistance, waterproof performance and weather resistance.

Price: Cheaper than PA hot melt glue.

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for furniture edge banding with low performance requirements.

2. PA hot melt glue (polyamide-based hot melt glue):

Features: PA hot melt glue has good heat resistance and fast curing characteristics, but the price is relatively expensive.

Price: More expensive than EVA glue, but easy to operate.

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for high-end furniture or occasions that require better heat resistance and weather resistance.

3. PES hot melt glue

Features: White hot melt glue with good heat resistance, waterproof and fast curing, high hardness, but usually high melt viscosity, poor fluidity after melting, and requires a higher construction temperature.

Price: higher than EVA and lower than PUR hot melt adhesive.

Applicable scenarios: suitable for edge banding of white furniture.

4. PUR hot melt adhesive:

Features: water white, transparent, chemical, moisture, waterproof, high and low temperature resistant, but after the package is opened, it will begin to react irreversibly with moisture in the air, and requires specific equipment to use.

Price: The price is relatively high, usually higher than PES and lower than PA, and a few will be higher than PA.

Applicable scenarios: occasions with high requirements for transparency and chemical resistance, but it is necessary to pay attention to its easy reaction and the need for special equipment.

In summary, the following factors need to be considered when choosing furniture edge banding adhesive:

1. From the perspective of the use environment. If the furniture needs to withstand high temperature environment and better life, PA hot melt adhesive with more comprehensive performance should be selected. If the humidity in the environment is high or waterproofing is required, PES hot melt adhesive can be preferred.

2. Cost and budget: EVA adhesive has a lower cost and is suitable for occasions with limited budgets; while PA hot melt adhesive and PUR hot melt adhesive have better performance, but the price is relatively high.

3. Special needs: If the furniture needs edge banding adhesive with high transparency or good chemical resistance, PUR hot melt adhesive can be selected. However, it is necessary to pay attention to its characteristics of being easy to react and requiring special equipment.

In addition, no matter which edge banding adhesive is chosen, it is necessary to pay attention to the surface treatment of the adhered object to ensure that the edge banding adhesive can better play a bonding role. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to factors such as the operating time, open time and feed speed of the edge banding machine of the edge banding adhesive to ensure the stability and consistency of the edge banding effect.
