Edge banding is very important in our daily decoration and furniture manufacturing. Regarding the choice of ABS edge banding and PVC edge banding, there are many doubts about how to choose a suitable edge banding.
This article gives you a detailed introduction to the basic understanding of ABS edge banding and PVC edge banding. Hope it helps you.
2 types of edge banding:
- ABS edge banding
- PVC edge banding
ABS edge banding is used for edge banding, and its edge banding effect is better than that of PVC edge banding. The price of ABS edge banding is relatively high, but it is still more and more favored by the market.
ABS edge banding VS PVC edge banding
Filler
Fillers are used in many different materials to reduce costs. During the production of PVC edge banding, an appropriate amount of filler will be added, which can reduce its production cost, but the reduction in cost is often reflected in the appearance of white edges after trimming.
There is no filler added to the ABS edge banding, which increases the production cost to a certain extent.
However, the advantage of this compared with PVC edge banding is that the rounded corners are relatively smooth after trimming, and the surface of ABS edge banding is more impact-resistant. Generally, the impact is not particularly strong, and it will not cause abnormalities in the edge banding.
Temperature resistance
There are also certain differences between ABS edge banding and PVC edge banding in terms of temperature resistance.
The ABS edge banding can withstand high temperature up to 99 degrees before the state changes;
while the shrinkage of the PVC edge banding generally needs to be at a high temperature of 70 degrees. Regardless of the material of the edge banding, after being heated and deformed, it will also lead to various conditions such as plate deformation.
In terms of chemical composition stability, ABS edge banding also has greater advantages than PVC edge banding, which has a lot to do with the material formula.
ABS edge banding has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Even if it is poured with soy sauce, diesel oil, and peanut oil, it will not affect its material;
On the contrary, PVC edge banding is susceptible to damage due to its chemical properties. Aging and damage due to external environmental influences.
Environmental friendly
The environmental protection of board and wood structure products has been paid more and more attention by the public, and it is difficult for people to accept the smell of wood products. The material used for ABS edge banding has no smell and does not react.
Even if it is burned, its smell will not cause pollution hazards, which just caters to the environmental protection concept recognized by the public; while the plastic smell on PVC edge banding is very strong , the smell is as new as time goes by, and it will release toxic gases such as dioxin after burning.
Compared with ABS edge banding, there is a certain gap between PVC edge banding and ABS in terms of temperature resistance, stability, environmental protection and other aspects. However, ABS edge banding is not as good as PVC edge banding, perhaps only flexibility and price.
