Which one is better, PVC edge banding or ABS edge banding?

PVC edge banding is a thermoplastic coil made of polyvinyl chloride as the main raw material, with plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, dyes and other additives added, mixed and pressed together. Its surface has patterns and designs such as wood grain, marble, and cloth grain. At the same time, the surface luster is soft, with the realism and three-dimensional sense of wood; it has a certain degree of finish and decorativeness, and has a certain degree of heat resistance, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, and a certain hardness on the surface. The following is an introduction from PVC edge banding manufacturer CHAOTAI to you on which is better, PVC edge banding or ABS edge banding.

Which one is better, PVC edge banding or ABS edge banding?

The main function of edge banding is to seal the cross section of the board, so as to protect the board from damage by adverse factors (mainly moisture) in the environment and during use, and to prevent the volatilization of formaldehyde inside the board, while achieving the effect of decoration. Among them, PVC and ABS edge banding are the most common, among which ABS edge banding has better effect.
The effect comparison between PVC and ABS edge banding is as follows:
1. ABS edge banding does not add any fillers (such as calcium carbonate and other substances) during the production process, so the rounded corners after trimming are very smooth and bright, and the surface has strong impact resistance; PVC is prone to white edges during trimming due to the addition of high-carbonate fillers.
2. ABS edge banding will shrink only at a high temperature of 99 degrees; while PVC will have shrinkage seams at 70 degrees, which will cause problems such as deformation and expansion of the board.
3. ABS edge banding has a strong resistance to chemical corrosion, and it is always new over time. Coffee, soy sauce, alcohol, etc. will not cause any damage to its surface; while PVC is prone to aging and staining.
4. ABS edge banding has no irritating odor; PVC has a plastic odor.
5. ABS edge banding can be directly burned at high temperature without air pollution; PVC produces dioxin gas, which leads to the greenhouse effect.
Compared with PVC edge banding, ABS edge banding has better effect, but the cost is also higher. Therefore, Chuanli Plastics believes that according to different market demands, PVC edge banding is more widely used.
