What is laser edge banding and what is its advantage?

 Summary: Laser edge banding is a new technique which widely used in cabinet door production, in this article Casa Custom experts will tell about what and why choose laser edge banding in the high end cabinet.

1. What is laser edge banding

Laser edge banding does not require any additional glue application system, it uses a sealing tape coated with a special polymer that melts when exposed to laser light, the bonding performance is so strong that it perfectly combines the board and the sealing tape, at the same time, the polymer of the sealing tape fills the gaps between the board and the sealing tape, and between the sealing tape and the sealing tape, achieving a seamless and complete sealing quality. In short, the entire sealing process is very fast, with no heating and waiting, instant sealing, and instant production, and the material is very environmentally friendly, allowing for a permanent, completely seamless visual and functional bond that is resistant to wear and tear while also having excellent moisture and heat resistance. With a laser beam generated by the generator and used in the laser edging process, the pre-applied adhesive will be heated on the activated edging tape.

The laser edge sealer is multifunctional and can be used for laser edge sealing or as a general edge sealer when the laser generator is not used. Casa Custom now produces the live edge vanity and kitchen cabinet by using the laser edge sealer imported from Germany.

But is laser edgebanding a quality standard for edgebanding? Of course, the answer is no. There is no such practical result as "100 points for laser edge sealing machine, 90 points for PUR edge sealing machine, and 70 points for EVA (hot melt adhesive grain) edge sealing machine". Casa Custom suggests that each edgebanding technique can make beautiful kitchen cabinets, but the most important issue is still the maker.

2. What is the difference between laser edge sealing and ordinary edge sealing?

Laser edge sealing is better than general edge sealing in appearance effect, product quality, operation process, performance, and processing cost. Specifically as follows by Casa Custom experience.

2.1 Appearance effect: 

The laser edgebanding product will have a seamless effect, so it will be a more beautiful visual, especially for light white-colored panels or transparent acrylic panels.

2.2 Product quality: 

The door panel by laser banding owns stable quality and high qualification rate in the inspection.

2.3 Operating process:

Using the laser edge sealer only needs to input or scan the model number of sealing tape, the equipment parameters will automatically adjust themselves to make the whole process precise and convenient.

2.4 Using performance:

Products with laser edgebanding perform good heat and light resistance, which prolongs the service life of the products.

2.5 Processing cost: 

The edge sealing process eliminates the need for glue application, spraying anti-adhesive, workpiece heating, glue application, and scraping unit, and the pressure roller and trimming knife no longer stick to the glue, reducing the use cost and labor cost.

2.6 Energy saving and environmental protection: 

The laser edge sealer is without glue volatile pollution, and no need to clean, when the machine is idle it just needs very low energy consumption, which is good for energy saving and environmental protection.

 

As Conclusion, Casa Custom recommends using the laser edge banding technique for high end cabinet production, with the product will bring a new era to home renovation.
