What Is The Difference Between PVC Edge Banding And ABS Edge Banding?

Now let's popularize the basic understanding of ABS edge banding and PVC edge banding. Only by recognizing the differences in the use and advantages and disadvantages of the two types of edge banding, can we facilitate the edge banding work. Nowadays, there are two commonly used edge banding strips in edge banding operations: one is ABS edge banding strip; Another type is PVC edge banding. Using ABS edge banding for edge banding has a better edge banding effect compared to PVC edge banding. Although the edge banding cost of the former is relatively high, it is still increasingly favored by the market.
Filling material
Fillers are used in many different materials to reduce costs. During the production of PVC edge banding, an appropriate amount of filler is added, which can reduce its production cost. However, the cost reduction is often reflected in the appearance of white edges after trimming (the problem of edge whitening has been solved through formula optimization). However, there is no filler added to the ABS edge banding, which to some extent increases production costs. But the advantage of this compared to PVC edge banding is that the rounded corners after trimming are relatively smooth, and the surface of ABS edge banding is more impact resistant. Generally, it is not a particularly strong impact and will not cause abnormal conditions in the edge banding.
Temperature resistance
There is also a certain difference in temperature resistance between ABS edge banding and PVC edge banding. The ABS edge banding only changes state when it can withstand high temperatures up to 99 degrees Celsius; The shrinkage of PVC edge banding usually requires a high temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. No matter what material the edge banding is made of, it will also cause various conditions such as deformation of the board after being heated.
Stability
In terms of chemical stability, ABS edge banding also has significant advantages over PVC edge banding, which is closely related to the material formula. ABS edge banding has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, even if it is coated with soy sauce, diesel, or peanut oil, it will not affect its material; On the contrary, PVC edge banding is prone to aging and damage due to its chemical properties and susceptibility to external environmental influences.
environment protection
The environmental protection issues of wooden structure products are increasingly being recognized by the public, and wooden products with strong odors are difficult to accept. The material used for ABS edge banding is odorless and non irritating. Even if it is burned, its odor will not cause pollution hazards, which precisely conforms to the environmental protection concept recognized by the public; The plastic smell on the PVC edge banding is very strong, and the smell remains fresh over time. After burning, it will also release toxic gases such as dioxins.
