Adhesive interlining materials for sewing. Adhesive materials for sewing

Everyone who has ever encountered laminated chipboard knows that a plate made of this material has smooth surfaces with a textured pattern, while its end parts are a hodgepodge of wood chips with glue. In order to give the parts sawn from such a plate a presentation, a process such as chipboard edging was invented. It is a gluing on the ends of the details of a decorative strip - "edge", which can be either in color with the chipboard decor or different from it.

To date, two main types of edges are used:

• PVC edge
• melamine edge

PVC edge used in the factory manufacture of furniture, it is more reliable, durable, durable, but the edging procedure when using it is quite laborious. AT furniture workshops special edging machines are used. PVC edge thickness is 2 mm and 0.4 mm. The width also varies depending on the thickness of the chipboard sheets.

Melamine edge less durable, but requires a minimum of tools to stick and is widely used among home furniture makers. But due to the low mechanical resistance, its use is limited. Personally, I glue melamine edging mainly on drawers. On the reverse side melamine edge is always applied with hot melt adhesive, and it itself is sufficiently resistant to elevated temperatures, so a simple iron is enough to stick it. It is only thin (0.4 mm) and has never been seen wider than 20 mm.

Since our site is devoted to a greater extent to work at home, first we will analyze how.

So, for work, we need the edge itself, an ordinary iron, a metal ruler, a clamp or a vise (optional), fine sandpaper on a bar.

The edge sticker technique itself is as simple as a nail:

Now let's figure out how to glue PVC edge with your own hands, i.e. without using a edging machine. Such an edge will last much longer than melamine, besides 2 mm and looks "richer". It is worth mentioning that the PVC edge can be either already with an adhesive layer (hot melt adhesive) or without it. In the first case, edging occurs with the help of a building hair dryer, and in the second case, it is necessary to purchase glue. Let's consider the second method in more detail, because. it is more economical.

Let's start with gluing 0.4mm PVC edges. To fix it, it is best to use contact types of glue, for example, 3M ™ Scotch-Grip, Moment Crystal, Titanium or "88". It should be noted that it is more convenient to work with liquid glue (3M), it is easier to level and its consumption is much less. We work with glue according to the instructions indicated on the package.

Contact adhesive can be replaced with hot melt adhesive. To do this, you will need a glue gun with a set of rods and an industrial hair dryer.

For work, we need a roller to press the edge (it can be successfully replaced with a rag or a piece of felt boots)), the glue itself, a spatula for leveling the glue or a simple brush, as you like, a wide chisel or a knife from a planer to remove excess edges, a sanding block with a fine sandpaper .

If you yourself make furniture from laminated chipboard or MDF, then after cutting the sheets, you need to protect their end parts, which will increase the service life of the product and give it a beautiful appearance. For this, PVC edge for furniture is often used, but there are other varieties. In this article we will talk about all types, the need for edging and how to stick it with your own hands.

Self-adhesive furniture edge - a narrow strip of melamine, PVC, ABS or other material. It protects and decorates the place of the cut. In the production of cheap furniture from laminated chipboard, an edge is simply necessary, as it protects people from exposure to harmful formaldehyde. In addition, it gives strength and protects the material from moisture ingress.

Edge types

Most Popular the following types furniture edge.

• Melamine edge with glue - the most budgetary, but not the most quality look. It is afraid of moisture and can fall off over time (even without mechanical impact), it easily cracks and wears off at the corners. The only plus is the pre-applied adhesive layer, so melamine edging remains a popular option in the home.



When buying furniture, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the processing of the ends. It is better not to take furniture with melamine treatment, as it will be short-lived.

• PVC furniture edge 2 and 0.4 mm is best option. It is much more stable and durable. A thickness of 0.4 mm is usually used to process hidden places, and 2 mm is glued to the outer ends, which will be visible. However, its application requires a special edge processing machine, so it is used only in production.
• ABS edging is a more environmentally friendly analogue of the previous option, which is less common on the market.
• Mortise T-profile - inserted into a milled groove at the end of the chipboard. It was popular in those days when a special machine for PVC edging was rare, and there were a lot of milling machines in the workshops.

Mortise T-shaped edge
Profile C18

• Consignment P-profile C18 is a good option, because it can be used for chipboard at home. Usually, the C18 P-profile is simply put on the end and glued to liquid nails. Minus - the edges protruding by a few millimeters, under which dirt is clogged. On the other hand, this feature is very convenient if you are cutting chipboard with your own hands, large edges will hide uneven cuts and chips. This type is often used for.

For gluing on the machine, a special melt adhesive for PVC edges is used. It is sold in the form of granules, after heating it becomes liquid. The adhesive is applied to the tape either when heated or during the manufacture of the tape.


Edging chipboard

To make the edge for a tabletop or cabinet beautiful and durable, in the best possible way will order edging in production. Usually this is done in the same place where chipboard is bought and ordered.

Approximate prices for application (for 1 running meter along with material):

• PVC edge 2 mm - 40 rubles;
• PVC edging 0.4 mm - 25 rubles;
• edge for chipboard made of melamine - 25 rubles;
• in addition, you will have to pay for the processing of curved sections.

Rehau PVC edging is the most popular in Russia, it has a wide selection colors, so you can choose a color for any chipboard. The width of the tape is different - from 15 to 45 mm.


To order this service for a store, you must first prepare a diagram of how to glue the PVC edge: in what places to apply it and what thickness. Those places that will not wear out can be covered with 0.4 mm PVC to save money (for example, back and bottom edges). All visible places are treated with PVC 2 mm. Where the joint will be attached to the joint with another part, processing is not needed.
PVC difference coatings 0.4 and 2 mm
Let's take an example.

• On the inner inset shelf, only the front face is processed with a layer of 2 mm.
• Top overlay cover - from all sides (rear face 0.4 mm, the rest - 2 mm).
• The front of the drawer is processed on all sides with a thickness of 2 mm.

To simplify the calculations, you can use special furniture programs, they create a project automatically. As a result, in order to assemble an average wardrobe, a PVC edge for chipboard will cost 1.5-2 thousand rubles. It will not be very cheap, but it will be of high quality, safe and durable.

Glue the edge yourself

For those who want to save money, there is a melamine edge with glue, which is glued with an iron. This option is quite suitable for repairing old furniture - do not carry a few small boards into the workshop. To solve the question of how best to glue the edge to the tabletop, it is better not to be too lazy and turn to production, or still use an overlay profile, because melamine will quickly deteriorate from moisture and abrasion.

For gluing, an old Soviet iron or a building hair dryer is best suited. The thermostat of the iron is set to about 2.5 positions. In addition, you will need a rag, a knife, fine sandpaper and a stand for fixing parts.




You can also use an iron to remove the old edge tape. To do this, it is heated and pry with a spatula or knife.
In this video you can see how to stick a 2 mm edge at home:


To achieve a really good result, it is still better to order factory edging. The overpayment will not be too big, but the durability will increase significantly. Now on sale you can find almost any color of tape to imitate wood or a plain version.

Adhesive materials are auxiliary applied materials. They really help us make sewing easier and faster.

With their help, the thing gets beautiful view thanks to the clear contours of the finishing details (collars, plackets, cuffs, etc.)

Without glue, it is no longer possible to properly sew outerwear. Adhesive materials are successfully used when sewing clothes from the most delicate materials, chiffons and knitted fabrics.

And if you are just starting to master the sewing business, then they will become your indispensable assistants.

This article will introduce you to the types of adhesive materials used when sewing clothes at home. At the bottom of the article there is a video that will introduce you to these applied materials.

Essentially, adhesives are polyamide glue applied to the material (non-woven fabric, fabric, knitwear, etc.) different ways(dotted, solid), as well as with double-sided gluing and without material at all (adhesive powders and cobwebs).

With adhesive, you can

• glue the layers together (glue cobwebs, glue powder, glue threads)
• duplicate (stabilize, strengthen) the main material

Adhesive materials do not leave stains on the surface of the material.

Gluing, duplication with adhesive materials is performed

• using a press, steam and high temperature in production.
• And with the help of a steam iron at home.

The temperature and time of gluing or duplicating depends on the composition and thickness of the fabrics and adhesives. Bonding is considered complete when all layers are completely dry and cool.

Glue cobweb (glue mesh)

glue gossamer- this is a fibrous transparent thin canvas of randomly arranged polyamide threads interconnected. With the help of the high temperature of the iron and steam, it melts, connecting the two layers of fabric together. Therefore, it is cut out clearly according to the size of the parts from the material.

Glue gossamer is available in the form of canvas and tapes (click on the photo to enlarge)

Glue cobweb used to fix the seam allowances and the bottom of the product. It is successfully used for connecting parts in appliqué and patchwork.

Adhesive tape "Prym", made of polyamide, is designed to reinforce the seams and folds of the product. The tape is equipped with paper protective layer. It is used on knitted and elastic fabrics, prevents deformation and stretching. This tape is good to use when bending the bottom of products

Self-adhesive tapes are very interesting.

Self-adhesive tapes are designed for sewing and stitching. Prym tape is self-adhesive on one side. The tape will temporarily hold the necessary parts for stitching, and then easily, without leaving marks, is removed from the fabric.

Duplicate adhesive materials

Duplicate adhesive materials are produced by applying glue to auxiliary materials interlining, loose fabric, thin knitted fabric.

Duplication is the connection of details of collars, cuffs, valves, shelves and coquettes into outerwear with hot-melt adhesive pads over the entire surface of the part. These include adhesive interlinings and dublerins.

But first, I'll tell you about the glued edge, called the bevel. This is an adhesive strip of thread-piercing interlining. The lines laid along it keep the strip from stretching.

Such an edge protects the edges of the sides, pockets, folds of the lapels, the slot from stretching when worn and helps to create the desired shape of the product. Edge application requires skill. Foreign name kantband - kantband

In products made of knitted fabrics, the edge is also glued to the place where the zipper is sewn in.

Doublerins are used to stabilize small parts of products: collars, lapels, cuffs, belts of skirts and trousers. And in lined products, coquettes are duplicated and even partially or completely the main details - a shelf and a back.

Doublerin on a woven basis for medium fabrics

Non-woven tape for duplicating the belt in skirts and trousers

Prym non-woven tape, made of 60% polyester and 40% cellulose, is designed for processing belts, cuts, slots, facings and leaflets. The tape is equipped with three perforated lines. Perforated bands guarantee efficient processing and perfect appearance of the belt. Easy to fold along the perforation line makes processing much easier. Interlining has proven itself well in perforated tapes. It gives the belt stability, preventing it from stretching.

At the end, brief information about types of adhesive materials and modes of tissue duplication

Original and affordable decoration for a T-shirt

The adhesive material can also act as a stabilizer for embroidery if it is embroidered small plot like in my example.

In almost every, even the most unpretentious sewing machine There are decorative stitches. It is they who decorate the pocket of the T-shirt in the photo

Before embroidering, duplicate the pocket with one of the adhesive materials. Then the embroidery will lie flat and will not tighten the fabric (knitwear)

The edge in furniture production is necessary to protect the end edges of the product from chips, cracks and other damage, and it also protects against moisture and formaldehyde vapor.

You will learn about what edges are, as well as how to glue them and how to glue an edge with an iron and a hairdryer, from this article.

Types of edges - why are they needed

1. The most common type is melamine edge with glue on paper basis . It is applied to finishing of internal sites of furniture. Affordable, inexpensive, but not the best quality option. Does not tolerate moisture, wears out quickly. Easy to stick at home with a simple iron.
2. T-shaped flexible profile - is a T-shaped bar, it is inserted into a slot in the side of the chipboard or MDF. It is convenient to replace the damaged element in the future without disassembling the furniture. Installation requires a milling machine.
3. PVC edging - reliably protects the ends of furniture from damage, is wear-resistant, resistant to moisture. Gluing PVC edging will require an edger, so using this type of edge at home is difficult.
4. ABS plastic is an eco-friendly, chlorine-free option. Valued for resistance to high temperatures and physical damage.

All options can be divided into two subspecies - edges without glue and with glue.

The average cost of a profile per linear meter:

• PVC 0.4 mm thick - about 25 rubles,
• PVC 2 mm thick - about 40 rubles,
• Melamine material for chipboard - about 25 rubles.

In our country, products from Rehau are actively used, which offers big choice color solutions, as well as different width tapes from 15 to 45 mm.

To simplify the work, you can use various specialized furniture programs, who will calculate how much material is needed to glue the edges.

PVC edge - how to glue in stages at home

For work you will need:

• iron or building hair dryer,
• and of course buy a PVC edge with glue
• hard roller,
• newspaper or paper sheet

The material is heated to make the adhesive sticky. Heating is performed with an iron in the "Synthetics" mode.

• The profile is applied to the end in such a way that it overlaps the end of the section.
• Next, the iron again performs heating through the newspaper. Since the glue dissolves quickly, the process is quite active, and it is convenient to move the iron along the PVC edge.
• The edge itself must be carefully pressed and ironed until it sticks along the entire length.

1. Bonding with a building hair dryer. Instead of an iron, you can use a building hair dryer. The PVC edge is heated from the adhesive side and when the composition becomes sticky, the material is applied to the end desired area, pinch and gently smooth.
2. Gluing with glue "Moment". This method is suitable if there is no adhesive layer on the edge. The quality of the butt is checked manually, sawdust, rubbish, dust are removed until the surface is clean. Then glue is applied to both the material and the end and wait until it sets. After that, apply and press. Using a roller, the area is rolled so that the glue grabs faster.

How to delete extra part material

If it was not possible to carefully glue the edge the first time, the procedure will have to be repeated. To do this, glue is again applied to the area and the profile is clamped with a roller or manually.

Since usually the width of the PVC edges is taken with a margin, you need to carefully remove the excess along the edges. To do this, use a regular clerical knife or file. It is taken with both hands and pressed on the protruding fragment. As a result, the excess parts are broken off and an edge remains that matches the width of the section.

Shutdown

After everything is glued, it remains to process the bumps sandpaper.

How to glue an edge on chipboard - a description

Melamine edging is the best option for home use when you need to refurbish old furniture with minimal cost. If the furniture is expensive, it is better to turn to professionals who use other more expensive and high-quality material.

Consider, how to glue the edge on a chipboard tabletop at home.

GREAT VIDEO RELATED TO THE TOPIC

To work, you will need the following materials:

• skin,
• sharply sharpened knife-jamb,
• wallpaper roller,
• melamine edge,
• building hair dryer or iron.

Action algorithm:

1. select the operating mode of the iron so that it does not get too hot and does not burn the chipboard and at the same time ensures proper melting of the glue,
2. process the edges of the chipboard for gluing with sandpaper, eliminate irregularities,
3. measure the profile
4. heat it with an iron and press it firmly against the area with a roller (if there is no adhesive layer, you will need to apply glue to the edge yourself, for example, Moment glue),
5. cut off the hanging edges of the edge with a knife.

It is necessary to cut at an angle along the edge, slightly wringing the material. Then it remains to sand the edges so that there are no burrs and irregularities.

If the cut of the edge and the chipboard itself are slightly different, the stain will help correct the difference.

In case the item has complex shape, and the edge of the surface is characterized by complex relief, the first time it is not always possible to glue the material evenly. In such a situation, it is worth contacting professionals so as not to spoil the product.

What glue to choose for the edge

Professionals furniture production actively use hot melt adhesives for edging. They are convenient in the event that production will be put on stream, and it is required as high quality results, and fast speed.

Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastics, which means that when heated they become very elastic and when cooled they harden quickly. The polymer of ethylene with vinyl acetate, which is part of the adhesive, is responsible for these properties. The disadvantage of using is the need to use special equipment, namely the appropriate machines or hand guns for applying glue to parts and heating it.

1. In domestic conditions, PVC glue is often used, which sticks well paper materials to various surfaces. Homogeneous without lumps light color the mass adheres well to surfaces, but is afraid of moisture. Does not require application additional equipment, therefore it is convenient for operation by non-professional craftsmen.
2. fit universal adhesives"Moment" and "88-Lux", which will reliably stick the material to the surface of chipboard and PVC. After 3-4 hours the product can be used. Adhesives are inexpensive, safe and available.
3. From professional furniture glue for the edge, it is worth noting products from Kleiberit. The company offers hot melt adhesives for cladding, for gluing the material using the soft-forming method (in case the surface is embossed), as well as for cladding.

(LDSP) the edges of parts without processing have an unsightly appearance. To put them in order, a furniture edge and a profile are used. It is more convenient to work with them on special equipment, but with your own hands at home, you can also achieve good results.

Types of furniture edges

One of the most popular materials for making furniture is chipboard. Its disadvantage is the ugly edges that remain when cutting the part. These edges are masked by the furniture edge. Make it from different materials, respectively, it has different properties and price.

Paper or melamine edges

Most cheap option- edges made of paper with melamine impregnation. Paper is taken with increased density, impregnated with melamine to increase strength and pasted on papyrus paper. Papyrus can be single-layered (cheaper) and double-layered. To prevent the melamnov coating from being erased, everything is covered with a layer of varnish. To make it more convenient to edge parts, an adhesive composition is applied to the reverse side of the melamine furniture edge. When working, it is only necessary to warm up this composition slightly and press it well against the end.

Paper or melamine edging is the cheapest, but also the most short-lived option for finishing the ends of furniture

The thickness of paper edge tapes is small - 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm - the most common. There is no point in doing it thicker, and it will turn out expensive.

This type of edges is distinguished by the fact that it bends very well and does not break when bent. But mechanical strength its very low - the edge is quickly worn out. Therefore, if it is used, then only on those surfaces that are not subjected to stress. For example, on back side shelves, countertops, etc.

PVC

Received in recent times Polyvinyl chloride is widely used in the production of edges for furniture. From the mass painted in a certain color, a tape of a certain width and thickness is formed. Its front surface can be smooth monophonic, or it can be textured - with imitation of wood fibers. The number of colors is large, so it is easy to choose the right one.

PVC furniture edge - the most popular stuff, which is used by both home craftsmen and professionals. This is due to the relatively low price and good performance properties:

PVC furniture edge is produced different thickness and width. Thickness - from 0.4 mm to 4 mm, width from 19 mm to 54 mm. The thickness is chosen depending on the expected mechanical load or appearance, and the width is slightly larger (at least 2-3 mm) than the thickness of the workpiece. There is furniture PVC edge with applied adhesive composition, yes - without. Both can be glued at home (more on that below).

This type of edging material also has disadvantages: not very wide temperature regime: -5°C to +45°C. For this reason, furniture cannot be left outside in winter, and when pasting with heating, you must be careful not to melt the polymer.

Made of ABS (ABS) plastic

This polymer does not contain heavy metals, is characterized by high strength and durability. The disadvantage can be high price, therefore it is used extremely rarely, although it has excellent properties:

This type of edge can be matte, glossy, semi-gloss. There are also options that mimic various breeds wood. In general, this material is more convenient to work with and more durable in use.

Veneer edge

Veneer is a thin slice of wood that has been dyed and shaped into a ribbon. This furniture edge is used in production when pasting slices of veneered products. Working with this material requires certain skills, and the material is expensive.

Veneer is not the most popular material for edging

Acrylic edge or 3D

Made from clear acrylic. A pattern is applied on the reverse side of the strip. The polymer layer on top gives it volume, which is why it is called a 3D edge. It is used in the manufacture of furniture in an unusual design.

Furniture edge profiles

You can finish the edge of furniture not only with an edge tape. There are also furniture profiles that are mechanically fastened. They have two sections - T-shaped or U-shaped (also called C-shaped).

A groove is milled under the T-shaped furniture profiles in the processed edge. A profile is hammered into it with a furniture (rubber) mallet. The edges are cut at 45° to make the corner look attractive. Before perfect condition finished with fine sandpaper. This type of profiles is produced from PVC and aluminum, with the same installation method they look very different, and the differences are significant.

In width, they are available for chipboard 16 mm and 18 mm. There are also wide ones, but they are much less common, since they work less with such material.

C- or U-shaped profiles are most often mounted on glue. They smear the edge, then put on plastic profile well pressed and fixed. These PVC profiles are soft and hard. Rigid ones bend worse and it is difficult to paste over curved edges with them. But they have great strength.

If you still need to "plant" a rigid C-shaped furniture profile in a bend, it is heated with a building hair dryer, then given the desired shape and fixed with masking tape until the glue dries.

We glue the furniture edge with our own hands

There are two technologies for gluing furniture edge tape. The first is for those who have glue applied on the back. In this case, you need an iron or a building hair dryer. The second is for sticking tapes without glue. In this case, a good universal glue, which can glue plastics and wood products and a furniture roller, a piece of felt or a soft rag so that you can press the edge well against the cut.

A little about how thick the edge to glue on what parts. Those edges that are not visible, according to GOST, can not be glued at all, but basically they are trying to process them so that moisture is less absorbed into the chipboard, and also to reduce the evaporation of formaldehyde. Melamine tape or PVC 0.4 mm is glued to these edges. Also handle the edges drawers(not facades).

On the front ends of the facade and drawers, it is better to use PVC 2 mm, and on the visible sections of the shelves - PVC 1 mm. The color is chosen either to match the main surface or “in contrast”.

How to glue the edging with glue yourself

The adhesive composition is applied to the melamine edge, it happens on PVC. If you choose PVC, it’s easier to start with thin ones - they are easier to process, any melamine ones are easy to glue.

We take an iron and a fluoroplastic nozzle on it. If there is no nozzle, a dense cotton fabric will do - so as not to overheat the tape, but to melt the glue. For this purpose, a building hair dryer is also suitable. We put the iron on about “deuce”, while it is heated, cut off a piece of tape. Length - a couple of centimeters more than the workpiece.

We apply the edge to the part, level it, smooth it. Small pieces should hang down from both sides. We take an iron and, through a nozzle or a rag, iron the edge, warming up until the glue melts. It is necessary to warm up evenly over the entire surface. After the entire edge is glued, let it cool. Then we start processing the edges.

The edge can be cut with a knife, both sharp and blunt side. Someone uses a regular metal ruler, someone is more comfortable with a stainless steel spatula.

So, we take the tool of your choice, cut off the hanging edges of the edge. They are cut close to the material. Then cut off the excess along the part. Melamine and thin plastic are perfectly cut with a knife. If the PVC edge is thicker - 0.5-0.6 mm or more, difficulties may already arise. Such edges are possible, if any. This guarantees good result in a short time. Longer processing will last if you use sandpaper, but the result may not be worse.

One important point: when gluing thin edges, the cut of the part must be even, without protrusions and depressions. The material is plastic, because of which all defects are visible. Therefore, first go through the cuts with sandpaper, then carefully dedust, degrease. Only after that you can glue.

Edging with PVC tape (without adhesive on the reverse side)

With this method of self-gluing PVC edges, you need universal glue and a piece of felt or rag. We read the instructions for the glue, perform all the actions on the recommendation. For example, for Moment glue, it is necessary to apply on the surface and distribute the composition, wait 15 minutes, press the surfaces to be glued strongly.

Apply glue and wait - no problem. To firmly press the edge to the cut, you can use wooden block wrapped in felt. Instead of a bar, you can take a construction grater, and also attach felt to its sole. In extreme cases, you can roll up a dense fabric in several layers and thereby press the tape to the surface.

The selected tool is pressed against the laid edge, pressed with all the weight, pressing it against the chipboard surface. The movements at the same time are stroking. So iron the entire edge, achieving a very snug fit. In this form, the part is left for a while - so that the glue "grabs". Then you can start processing the edge.
