Manufacturer of ABS Edge Band 

ABS edging has been on the market for about 20 years, slowly taking the place of PVC in the furniture and woodworking industries. The rise in popularity was driven by companies and manufacturers becoming more aware of their environmental impact, and the need to find more ecologically friendly alternatives to products and processes.

ABS is a high grade thermoplastic that’s very resistant to everyday knocks and scrapes, so it’s great for furniture in high-traffic areas. It can withstand water, is highly heat resistant, and isn’t damaged by domestic cleaning products making it perfect for family kitchens.

It’s also a great material for use in offices, bathrooms, all interior furnishings, shop fitting and coffin manufacturing, even for exhibition stands . Its high level of heat resistance means it can be used on kitchen cabinets next to hot ovens or hobs without damage or distortion.

As an edging, ABS is very flexible, giving almost unlimited application options. Whether straight edge boards, curves, or custom shapes, you can mould this material to fit your design aesthetic. It’s also relatively easy to process on edge banding machines.

ABS is lighter in composition and density than PVC but still provides an incredibly durable surface to protect your board edges. It offers some of the same positives as PVC, with the added bonus of being fully recyclable and biodegradable.
