Switching to VOC-free fluids: what changes on the edge banding machine

Working solvent-free on the edge banding machine: which products are available, which technology is needed and how VOC-free and classic fluids can be combined.

Switching to VOC-free fluids: what changes on the edge banding machine

More and more companies want to reduce solvent emissions – for occupational safety, sustainability or customer requirements. LcM® offers a complete VOC-free system for this.

The VOC-free products

  • iRelease – solvent- and silicone-free release agent; protects, cools the joint and prevents the protective film from peeling off
  • iClean – cleaning before the polishing wheels or the BRUSH-tec®
  • BRUSH-tec® agent – matched to the brushes of the BRUSH-tec®

What changes on the machine

  • The VOC-free fluids are applied in an ultra-thin layer with the Ultra-Thin nozzle, supplied via the CLOU®.
  • Setup and spray pattern are decisive – the nozzle gauge helps with reproducible alignment.
  • Many VOC-free products are not dangerous goods – which simplifies storage and transport (see the respective safety data sheet).

Switch step by step

A switch does not have to happen all at once: proven fluids such as Lc 2/10 or Lc 2/30 can, for example, be combined with the VOC-free BRUSH-tec® agent. We recommend a test setup on your line – with samples and support from our technical team.
