ALPHA-TAPE® Materials
For the production of thermoplastic edgebanding, we use only high-quality, certified plastics. These are tested regularly according to strict guidelines. For conventional processing in hot-melt technology we are offering ALPHA-TAPE® in ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and PP (polypropylene) material.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is a copolymeric, thermoplastic material that has already been used in the furniture industry for over 50 years. The specific combination of individual monomers results in a particularly impact-resistant, mechanically and thermally stable plastic. At the same time, ABS impresses with its very good printability, lacquering and polish-ability and is therefore ideal for the production and further processing of edgebanding.
Polypropylene
PP (polypropylene) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material that is currently the fastest growing in the world. In addition to the primary use for films and packaging materials, PP is also becoming increasingly important in the field of furniture and edgebanding production. The industry benefits from the material’s high level of environmental sustainability and recyclability as well as many other positive material and processing characteristics: PP is low in stress whitening, has a low specific weight, is flame-retardant and is very resistant to UV light and chemicals.
