  "term": "Edgebanding",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A thin strip of material, such as PVC, ABS, wood veneer, or melamine, applied to the exposed edges of sheet materials like plywood or particleboard. This process creates a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish, protecting the core material from moisture and impact. Edgebanding machines use hot-melt adhesive to bond the strip to the substrate, often trimming and buffing the edges in a continuous operation.",
