Solvent-free Wrapping of Furniture Profiles
Furniture
profiles are often made of materials such as medium-density
fiberboard (MDF),
particle board, plastics such as PP and PVC, and more recently
combinations of plastic and wood, known as wood plastic composites
(WPC). They can be used as furniture finishing or edge strips or as
panels for interior design. Profiles are given a decorative finish in
the wrapping process; the wrapping film is continuously coated with
adhesive in the wrapping machine and evenly applied to the profile by
pressure rollers.
Openair®
Plasma provides effective pre-treatment of furniture and window
profiles just before pressure is used to apply the film. This makes
it possible to use solvent-free adhesive on otherwise non-polar
profile surfaces. No additional application of adhesion promoter
(primer) is needed.
The
advantages
of Openair® Plasma in profile wrapping include in particular
reliable, continuous process sequencing and a simple, reproducible
process.
