“Now is a great time investigate edgebanding to find the right edge for your shop – and we’re here to help. In search of earth-friendly materials? Take a look beyond just PVC to the alternate chemistries of ABS and PP edgebanding.” – Jesse Collins, Senior Marketing and Communications Manager, REHAU.
Adapt with ABS
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is chlorine free both during manufacturing and in the final product. Unlike PVC, ABS may be incinerated with general waste, is lighter in weight and highly heat resistant. This thermoplastic material resists impact, which is especially important for office furniture applications. ABS is used as a substitute material for PVC edges in carpentry and woodworking. It has properties similar to PVC, but is inherently more weather resistant, so no stabilizing agents need to be added.
Advantages
1. ABS is 99% naturally recyclable and chloride-free.
2. Lighter in weight and highly heat resistant
3. Most sjops make the leap to ABS easily because there are no changes in planning, running or adjustments on machines
4. REHAU LaserEdge capable
5. Consistently growing colours in stock
Marvelously shine with mirror gloss
Shiny, reflective surfaces are key, and the edging makes all the difference in creating a smooth, sleek look. REHAU offers gloss edging with an innovative mirror-gloss surface with no orange peel effect.
Advantages:
Gloss level > 85 gloss points
Incomparable surface calm (no orange peel)
Creates a monolithic look between board and edge

3D gives a new dimension
Magic 3D edgeband creates an illusion of depth and embossed texture using a decorative print that shows through a transparent PMMA surface. Using two different lacquer types, we have successfully created the illusion of 3D. With excellent processing capabilities, Magic 3D can handle tight radii, trim easily and be polished or beveled without damaging the print below.
Advantages:
Three-dimensional depth effect
No picture frame effect
Can be matched or used as a contrasting edge
Good radius compatibility, apply easily around corners
Post-processing finish possibilities
Radii can be polished while retaining the decorative print even when milled
