One, do particleboard require edge sealing?
Yes.
1、After edge banding on particleboard, it can effectively prevent moisture from entering, thereby reducing deformation of the base material.
2. The glue used in the production of particleboard may release harmful substances later on. Applying edge sealant can reduce the volatilization of these gases to some extent.
3. Sealing the edges of the plywood effectively strengthens it, and can, to some extent, reduce deformation.
4、After sealing the edges of the plywood, the color will become more uniform, enhancing the aesthetics.
Two. important considerations for edge sealing of plywood.
1、Adhesive selection: White PVA adhesive is more environmentally friendly, has good adhesion, and dries quickly, with a low price. Neutral glass glue has weaker adhesion and is suitable for use in bathrooms. Acidic glass glue has better adhesion and is suitable for bonding wood panels.
2. Ensure a clean, even cut. During edge sealing, if the cut is uneven, it will cause the furniture board's cut edge to be inconsistent with the cut edge of the sealing strip, significantly affecting the appearance of the furniture. Therefore, it is important to ensure a clean, even cut during edge sealing.
3. Heating: In some cases, heating is required during the sealing process to ensure a stronger bond. However, in other cases, heating is not necessary. When heating, if the substandard board material, adhesive, or sealing strip is used, it may result in quality degradation and the release of harmful gases.
4、After completing the patching and edge sealing, carefully repair any cut or damaged areas. Pay close attention to detail during the repair process to avoid leaving marks on the panels.
