Edgebanding is an important process in the finishing of furniture panels.

It is not only a question of finishing but also serves to guarantee the important performance of the panel. Depending on the type of thermo-fusing used, there are considerable differences.

The characteristics of HMPUR hot melt adhesives

These adhesives have the particularity of creating a bond that is not only physical (like other hot melts) but also chemical.

The article acquires special physical characteristics:

- Heat resistance above 150°C
- Water resistance
- Resistance to steam
- Resistance to solvents

These performances are very important, especially when the panel is intended for furniture in particularly hot and humid environments. One example is kitchen furniture where, in addition to heat resistance, high water and steam resistance is required.

The German Kitchen Association AMK has created a test to evaluate the vapor resistance of kitchen doors. Only polyurethane-based hot-melt adhesives manage to pass it.

Another issue to consider is transport. Today, export is an important part of all companies in the furniture supply chain for both finished and semi-finished products.
In containers or storage at ports, or during transport in the warmer months, temperatures can be very high, so HMPUR adhesives are the safest adhesives during transport in heat and humidity.

The glue families used for edgebanding

We can now compare the performance of traditional non-reactive (EVA and PO base) and reactive (HMPUR) hot melt adhesives.
These are the three families of hot melt glues most commonly used in general in the furniture market and especially in edgebanding, i.e. the application of edges on the sides of the panel (2 or four)

Economic and aesthetic evaluations

HMPUR adhesives allow them to
- Be applied at lower application temperatures (120-150°C). As opposed to the 180-210°C required to apply EVA-based adhesives or 190-210°C of PO-based adhesives.
- Use smaller quantities of adhesive. We are talking about 90-130 g/m2 for HMPUR adhesives versus 150-300 g/m2 for EVA and PO base

Lower adhesive consumption also means lower costs for the purchase of glue while guaranteeing an aesthetically pleasing result due to the very thin adhesive line.
The best aesthetic result is guaranteed if the HMPUR adhesives are applied with an applicator roller with a low swell (knurling).

In this way, the adhesive line will become 'almost invisible' and will be less exposed to water and steam attack.

OgTM is an acronym that encompasses our beginning and, almost 60 years later, still tells our STORY, a beautiful story of Italian entrepreneurship ...

The GIOVANNI TRIVINI Milanoworkshops were born in 1960, embodying the vision of a great craftsman whose project spanned three generations, transforming itself into the current complex of Sant 'Angelo Lodigiano, a reality production with a capacity of over 50,000 wheels per day, accredited among the technological elite of the sector, with over 120 international patents filed.

For almost 60 years at OgTM we have been producing wheels for furniture and furnishing accessories. The search for beauty, functional and technological innovation, collaboration with the greatest Italian and international architects and designers have become a sort of obsession for us, not just our distinctive trait.

We love CHALLENGES and uncompromising QUALITY, personally managing all the construction phases of a wheel, from the project to the finished product and indeed, if necessary, we also develop and manufacture the equipment necessary for the production process.

We work all types of materials (plastic, rubber, metals) with any type of treatment and finish. We develop tailor-made projects starting from the drawing and we are able to customize lots with tailor-made "out of series" requests.

At the helm of OgTM, to continue the "movement" that today has brought us to the main world markets, there are now Ruggero, Giovanni's son, who is in charge of the of product development and his wife Marilena Daccò, CEO and commercial soul.

But also the third generation already works in the company: the children Elisa and Daniele who deal respectively with Marketing and Production Technology.

... and the HISTORY continues, moving like our wheels ...

"That of OgTM is a philosophy that is realized in products that revolutionize, amaze, fascinate and innovate. Wheels never seen before, innovative in everything, from shape to construction, with the simplicity that distinguishes all great inventions"

Marilena Daccò | CEO OgTM
