EVA hot melt adhesive plays a great role in furniture edge banding. If not banding perfectly, the panel and surface decoration would be a waist. China GC Adhesives provides mature solutions of EVA hot melt glue in PVC edge banding. Among all type of adhesion technique, EVA hot melt glue is both efficient in bonding and cost.
GC spent great sum of fund on independent R&D. We have made strict performance testing. Our EVA hot melt glue has numerous practice in furniture panel edge banding, PVC and other material. Our working-hard technical team provide beyond expectation service, for furniture adhesive application.
Edge banding EVA hot melt adhesive testing
The performance of EVA hot-melt edge sealing does not only refer to its viscosity. We need to do tensile test. GC EVA hot melt glue features strong initial viscosity, good wood breaking test, and high final peel strength.
High and low temperature cycling test: put it in an 85°C oven for 2 hours, and take it out. After that, put it in a -20°C freezer for 2 hours. Repeat the same test for five times. After the cycle test. GC EVA hot melt adhesive proves: the edge band does not fall off, and there is no abnormality.

Advantage of using EVA hot melt glue in edge banding
Together with edge banding machines, GC EVA hot melt adhesive products, improves production output. It also reduce intensity of workers, and difficulty of panel repair. Using EVA hot melt glue to bond wood panel and decoration film improve products quality in the end.
EVA hotmelt glue does not contain solvent, no harm to human body. It will not produce dangers such as poisoning and fire easily. As it is fast gluing, EVA hot melt glue is quite suitable for continuous automated edge banding machine.
Usage in furniture panel edge banding
Pour hot melt adhesive EVA granular into the furnace. Melt it into a viscous fluid at high temperature. Spread it evenly on the cutting surface of the wood-based panel. Then with machine, press edge band to the cutting surface of the glued wood-based panel. Form a certain tensile rubber nail on the wood-based panel. The adhesive bonding is generated. Get a perfect combination of wood-based panel and edge banding finally.
Sample EVA hotmelt glue formula for edge banding
| EVA resin | Olefins containing ester derivatives | Tackifier | Viscosity modifier | Antioxidant | Initiator | Filler |
| 100 | 0.5-5 | 15-40 | 10-20 | 0.01-0.5 | 0.05-0.2 | 20-50 |
Why choose EVA hot melt adhesive for edge banding
EVA hot melt adhesive has a low melting point, and a softening temperature between 70 and 90℃. It has fast bonding and high bonding strength. It is easier to meet the requirements of adhesives for PVC edge sealing or other types.
EVA type hot melt adhesive has good adhesion to a variety of materials. It has good flexibility and low temperature resistance. The EVA raw materials are abundant and the price is low. Therefore, EVA type hot melt adhesive is widely used in the production process of panel furniture.
What an exciting post! When gluing wooden board surfaces, edge banding is fairly prevalent. PA (Polyamide) hot-melt glues and PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate) are the most often used glues for edge banding. This is because these adhesives are malleable at high temperatures. Furthermore, these glues are robust and last at low temperatures. Another advantage is that they dry clear and, more significantly, are water-resistant.
