Which Adhesion Method is Advantageous for Wood Edgebanding?

The Glue Question: Choosing the Right Adhesion for Wood Edgebanding

When applying wood edgebanding, the adhesion method you choose can make the difference between a lasting, professional finish and premature peeling or discoloration.

In this month's blog, we break down the key adhesion methods available for wood edgebanding: hot-melt (EVA), PUR (polyurethane reactive), and pre-glued options. Each has its own strengths depending on your production environment, the type of machinery you use, and the end application.

We cover critical factors including heat resistance, moisture resistance, bond strength over time, and ease of application — so you can choose with confidence.
