How does edge molding polyurethane work?

The edge molding polyurethane is dispensed into a mold which fits around the table top and cures in place, leaving a seamless urethane table edging around the perimeter of the table top when the mold is removed. These easy-to-use edge molding compounds can be pigmented by the user to create any desired color.

You need polyurethane edge molding products that are as durable as they are decorative, providing protection for the edge of the laminate and any items coming into contact with the molded edging. Table edge molding polyurethane cure times can be adjusted to fit your manufacturing process needs.

Polyurethane Edge Molding Compounds:

  • Epic RM2013 is a polyurethane elastomer
  • Low viscosity, about 1,700 cps
  • Shore hardness of 80A, medium soft rating & flexible material. It can be penetrated with some serious effort, and is still soft enough to allow molding.
  • Tensile modulus of approximately 500.9 psi
  • Quick gel time of 1.5 - 3.5 minutes, allowing for swift de-mold times and rapid part changeovers. This also provies OEMs with a more malleable production schedule, making their manufacturing process easier.

  • Epic RM2014 is a polyurethane elastomer
  • Low viscosity, about 2,000 cps
  • Tensile modulus of approximately 352.1
  • Shore hardness of 65A, soft and flexible material. Same category as car tires and rubber bands, and just below the common hardness of 70A.
  • Great choice for a softer feel edge mold, but also properly protects the covered surface from anything it comes into contact with.
