Rehau Edge Banding Whether you need a value thin generic for shelving or a durable, more ergonomic thick edge for high-traffic areas, we have all the PVC edge band options covered. You can also choose our market-leading contour banding – a softer material making handling and trimming easier. Rehau Flex Edge: A durable and impact resistant semi-rigid edge band, REHAU Flex Edge® handles a radius as small as 12 mm without extra pressure or excess adhesive. The flexible 3 mm material trims easily and is ideal for use with contour edge banders.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is chlorine free both during manufacturing and in the final product. Unlike PVC, ABS may be incinerated with general waste, is lighter in weight and highly heat resistant. This thermoplastic material resists impact, which is especially important for office furniture applications. ABS is used as a substitute material for PVC edges in carpentry and woodworking. It has properties similar to PVC, but is inherently more weather resistant, so no stabilizing agents need to be added.
- 99% naturally recyclable and chloride-free
- Lighter in weight and highly heat resistant
- Most shops make the leap to ABS easily because there are no changes in planning, running or adjustments on machines
- REHAU Laser Edge capable

As a very neutral synthetic material manufactured completely of petroleum, Polypropylene (PP) is fully recyclable, odorless, physiologically harmless and burns as clean as a candle. Beyond its general environmental friendliness, PP offers enhanced chemical and heat resistance, greater flexibility and a wider scope of processing possibilities than other polymers. PP also provides a higher UV resistance to fading and greater suitability to contour processing than other non-PVC compounds. These properties make PP ideal for use in household applications and food preparation environments. PP may require some process changes such as specific scrapers or router rotation, but these changes are typically easy to achieve.
