Specifications
Color: Due to the fact that sample and the actual product have been produced at different times there will be slight color variation.
Color Variation In Solid-Colors: Maximum allowed deviation from the master sample to the new production is max. 1.0 on delta E*.
Color Fastness: All our products are printed with inks having light fastness values between 6 and 8 of blue wool-scale.
Gloss: The specified gloss determined by ISO 2813 is as follows (equipment reading angle 60°).
| Surface | Gloss |
|---|---|
| High Gloss Solid Colors | 75 ± 3 |
| High Gloss Woodgrains | 75 ± 3 |
| Woodgrains | 17 ± 3 |
| Embossed Surface | 5 ± 3 |
Dimensional Stability: During 1 hour at 80 °C the shrinkage is <0.5 % according to our own method.
Density: Range between 1,4 gr/cm3 and 1,5 gr/cm3 according to the standard DIN 53479.

Available sizes
The width of the edgebanding may vary (such as 22mm. 33mm. 42mm. 44mm or etc).
- The standard length of 0.40 mm thickness PP roll is 300 mt.

Available instructions
PP edge banding can be processed on all sorts of edgebanders (straight processing and BAZ machining centers) using hot melt adhesive techniques. For each machine, it might require special adjustment in the process or in the parameters.
Packaging
Dimension of the box changes as the width of the product changes. The standard box dimensions are here below.

Storage
The recommended storage temperature is between 18° and 25 °C, proper dry conditions. The product should be used up to 24 months after production date.
Cleaning
After the application of edgebanding to the board remainder of the glue can be cleaned. To clean PP edgebanding we recommend you to use special cleaning materials for PP. A test of the cleaning material is always recommended.
Whitening edges
While processing edgebanding thicker than 1 mm (especially the ones with dark colors like wenge and cherry) the edgebanding might be prone to whitening on the trimmed edges. This
Common issues and solutions
In the below table you can see some of the common errors during processing of PP laser (seamless) edgebanding and recommended solutions. After following these instructions if the problem still persists please get in touch with Tece staff.
Problem: For thickness above 0.8mm, the color tone in the trimmed side is becoming white or getting slightly lighter...
Suggested solution:
- Polishing unit must be active with the proper chemicals inside. Polishing makes the edgebanding to get back to the original color.
- Make sure that the trimming knives are sharp and set to right position.
Problem: The edgebanding is easily being pulled off by hand.
Suggested solution:
- Make sure that the room temperature is minimum 15 °C
- Make sure that the hot melt tank is at the right temperature.
- Make sure that the hotmelt inside the tank has still its properties intact. When the same hotmelt is heated and then cooled down too many times, it loses its adhesion feature. Remove the tank and fill in with new hotmelt.
- Make sure that the edgebanding and the board are not too cold. Must be above 10 °C
- Make sure that there is pressure on the roller.
- Make sure that the machine is adjusted to the right thickness.
