ABS EDGING
ABS (ACRYLONITRILE-BUTADIENE-STYRENE) is used as an edgeband for finishing panels. It is a thermoplastic that is tough, rigid and has high impact strength.
One of the principal advantages for ABS over PVC (POLYVINYL-CHLORIDE ) is that it is chlorine free and therefore easier to dispose of at the end of it's life or indeed from any offcuts produced during the manufacturing stage.
