surface finish, widely used on melamine faced chipboard (MFC) and MDF panels in kitchens, bedrooms and office furniture. This edging tape is colour and finish matched to coordinate with oyster cream smooth boards for a seamless finish.

What Does HM Mean?

HM stands for Hot Melt. A hot melt adhesive is pre-applied to the reverse of the tape, allowing it to be bonded using an iron or edge-banding equipment. Heat activates the adhesive, and firm, even pressure while warm ensures full contact across the width of the tape.

Supplied as a 22mm wide x 100m roll, it is well suited to workshop and production use where a continuous matching edge strip is needed for standard board edges and panels.

Applications

Suitable for cabinet edging, furniture panels, shelving, worktops, drawer fronts, door edges, fitted furniture and bespoke joinery projects finished in oyster cream smooth board.

Application Tips

Apply to a clean, dry, flat and stable board edge. Position the tape accurately, activate the hot melt adhesive with a suitable iron or edge-banding equipment, and apply firm, even pressure while warm. Allow the bond to cool before trimming the excess tape flush with the board.
