LaserCoater

Hutchco’s LaserCoater is a first for NZ in post-coating systems that transforms standard edging into laser-compatible edge banding.


By applying a precisely engineered functional polymer layer, the LaserCoater makes PVC, ABS, or PP edging ready for laser, hot-air, or NIR bonding — delivering clean, seamless joins without glue pots, EVA, or PUR.

Availability

On-demand conversion of stocked Proadec edging into laser-compatible tape expands the range to 110 décors and counting.

How it works:
Like co-extruded Prolaser, a colour-matched functional polymer layer is added standard PVC & ASB edging.

Post-applied layer activates under heat for a permanent zero-joint bond on Laser, Hyfuse, Hot-Air & NIR edgebanders

Frequently Asked

Because laser-ready edging hasn’t kept pace with the variety of décors and sizes needed in NZ. The LaserCoater system converts stocked ABS and PVC edging into laser-ready formats on demand.

LaserCoater tape has been tested on machines using laser, Hyfuse, hot-air, and NIR edgebanding systems. Testing with major machinery suppliers has confirmed compatibility with standard processing settings.

In most practical settings, yes. Trials with Jacks (KDT/Homag), Beisse, and HPTech confirm that LaserCoater tape delivers a finish and bond very close to co-extruded Prolaser Ready tape, with only minor heat/pressure calibration.

All stocked 1mm edgebands where a colour matched polymer is available can be converted. Over 110 décors are currently matched and compatible, including widths up to 65mm.
See the availability guide for which décors are listed as (PC) Post-Coated.
