ABS manufactured Edgebanding is environmentally friendly, sustainable and recyclable – Doellken ABS Edgebanding is Greenguard Certified. Areas where health is of concern is perfect for the application of ABS Edgebanding. Doellken ABS Edgebanding comes in thicknesses of .018″ (0.45 mm) to 3 mm and widths ranging from 5/8″ (16mm) to 1-3/4″ (45mm).
Doellken uses only top grade polymers. All materials used are extensively tested prior to initial production using special test procedures that are based on the strict specifications and quality standards of the furniture industry. For this reason, Doellken customers will always obtain their products from the very best materials available on the market.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Material
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is an impact resistant, mechanically and thermally robust, high grade thermoplastic with a positive eco balance. For the last 20 years this chlorine-free plastic has been successfully used in the furniture industry. The outstanding application, processing and disposal features of ABS contribute to its broad market penetration, in particular, in furniture production.
What is Special About ABS Edgebanding?
Doellken ABS Edgebanding is manufactured in an extrusion process and are through-colored. The even through-coloring of the material enables clean and simple rounding o of edges. The impact resistant Doellken-ABS material guarantees long service life of milling and other cutting tools. Doellken ABS Edgebanding is coated on the back with a universal primer, to enable perfect adhesion of the Edgebanding to the substrate, using any suitable hot melt glue or solvent-based Adhesive.
ABS Edgebanding Application
The range of applications for Doellken ABS Edgebanding is almost never-ending: from office via bathroom and kitchen, via exhibition stands and shop fitting, in the home and general interior furnishing. The Doellken-ABS raw material formulation makes it particularly easy to work with and, over and above straight application, also offers simple application on all curved furniture shapes, irrespective whether inside or outside radii. With a view to their excellent disposal properties, ABS Edgebanding is often a mandatory component in public and private tenders.

ABS Edgebanding Details
Doellken ABS Edgebanding may also be applied manually, using a gluing jig or Edgebanding press, for instance. 2-component, acrylic based dispersion Adhesives or suitable contact adhesives are recommended. For further information, please contact your Adhesive manufacturer directly. Single component wood PVAC glue is not suitable for gluing. Special lacquer Adhesive, solvent glues or cartridge Adhesive (PU) may be used for manual gluing. We will gladly provide you with a list of various Adhesive on request. Gluing should be carried out at room temperature. To achieve optimal Edgebanding bonding when using contact Adhesive, ensure that the curing time after applying Adhesive to Edgebanding and board is adhered to. This is followed by tapping on the edgeband. Heating to speed up adhesion (e.g. heating rails) is superfluous when using dispersion glues. Processing may continue after curing (up to ca. 6 hours, depending on Adhesive).
