Sealing the edge against moisture: water-repellent treatment directly in the edge banding machine

Moisture often penetrates at the transition between top layer and narrow surface. With Lc 2/55 HydroTec agent this area can be sealed directly in the machine.

Sealing the edge against moisture: water-repellent treatment directly in the edge banding machine

For kitchen, bathroom and shop furniture the edge is a weak point: moisture can penetrate at the transition from the top layer to the narrow surface and cause swelling.

The solution in the pass

Lc 2/55 HydroTec agent is sprayed onto the transition area at the very end of the edge banding machine – after the buffing wheels – with the Ultra-Thin nozzle. It penetrates, the excess evaporates without residue; after 24 hours it has fully soaked in. The area gets a water-repellent (hydrophobic) effect.

Applications

  • Edge banding machine: after the buffing wheels
  • Double-end profiler: after profiling
  • for all common narrow-surface coating processes

Versions

In addition to Lc 2/55 there are the versions Lc 2/56 and Lc 2/57 with different VOC content. We will be happy to clarify with you which suits your application.

Note: the water-repellent treatment is not an anti-mould treatment and contains no biocidal active substances.
