PROCESS FOR PRODUCING END-GRAINED WOOD VENEER EDGE BANDING AND SUCH END-GRAINED WOOD VENEER EDGE BANDING

摘要

The present invention concerns an end-grained edge (1) suitable for lining at least one portion of a panel or other manufactured article, said edge (1) being formed by a plurality of essentially bi-dimensional modular elements (2A) obtained from end-grained slices (2) acquired by slicing a log (5) or a plurality of stacked solid-wood panels, along planes transversal to the natural direction of the wood grain, joined to each other in a linear succession and coupled together by means of a bonding agent to at least one support layer (4). In particular, said bonding agent is selected from a polyurethane glue, a polyolefin glue or a urea-based glue. The present invention also refers to an improved process for making an end-grained edge (1).
