Stop gap solution for seamless edge banding application on manual and automatic edgebanders
Applying Printec adhesion primer to wood panel edges to improve bonding for edge banding.

Protect Your Cabinets Edgebanding joints from Moisture and Dirt

In the world of furniture manufacturing and edge banding application, our primers and adhesion promoters play a crucial role. Serving as a bridge between materials and adhesives, they enable reliable adhesion on challenging surfaces, whether it’s edge banding or the use of 3D laminate foils.


Our team of experts understands the challenges in wood processing and has developed products that optimize the use of PVC, PP or ABS as edge banding or films for furniture components.


What sets us apart is our strict adherence to legal regulations and industry standards. We offer NEP-, NMP-, pyrrolidone-, and toluene-free solutions that meet the highest requirements.


Adhesion promoters, also known as „primers” or „chemical bridges,” create a stable connection between the material and adhesive, ensuring optimal adhesion, even on surfaces with increased demands on moisture and temperature resistance.


We rely on highly dispersed silica to maximize surface enlargement and permanently anchor the adhesive. This not only guarantees long-lasting adhesion but can also delay aging processes and significantly increase the durability of surface finishes.


Our products are tailored to various substrates such as PVC, ABS, PP, or PET and provide solutions for edge bands and furniture foils. With liquid delivery forms in buckets, hobbocks, drums, and IBC containers, we ensure that you can smoothly and efficiently carry out your projects.


Key Features


  • Moisture and Vapor Defense: Fills microscopic irregularities on uneven or edged furniture surfaces to stop the penetration of water, steam, and dampness.
  • Dirt Prevention: Keeps dust, grime, and fungi from settling into tiny surface pores and degrading the material.
  • STOPGAP Starter Kit: A automated application hardware and fluid package designed for industrial edge-banding machinery.
  • STOPGAP Pen & Fluid: Manual or supplemental application tools used for real wood, wood-based panels, and sensitive furniture edges.


Function

  • Every substrate has certain asperities in which dirt, mold and other contaminants can accumulate. STOPGAP PEN fills gaps and irregularities and thus offers perfect protection against water, dirt and steam.


How to apply the StopGap pen?

  • First remove the pen cap and then place its sponge on the surface. Slightly pull the pen along the desired area to apply the fluid.
  • Close the cap right after use in order to prevent the sponge from drying out.


Cleansing

  • During product application it may occur that more fluid than required will be applied. In this case, the excess fluid should be carefully wiped off with a clean microfiber cloth.


Storage Conditions

  • The StopGap pen should only be kept in the original pen case in an air-conditioned place. The liquid must also be protected from sunlight, heat and oxygenation. Pens that have already been opened must be stored locked to prevent possible leakage.
