These are regularly checked according to strict guidelines. Alpha-Tape® is available in ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and PP (polypropylene) for conventional processing using hot-melt adhesive technology. The range also includes special edge solutions for special applications such as softforming ( ALPHA-TAPE® FLEXIBLE ), invisible joint technology ( ALPHA-TAPE ZERO® ) or lightweight honeycomb panels ( ALPHA-TAPE ZERO® HONEYCOMB ). ALPHA-TAPE® ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a copolymeric, thermoplastic material that has been used in the furniture industry for over 50 years. With the help of a targeted combination of the individual monomers, the result is a plastic that is particularly impact-resistant and mechanically and thermally highly resilient. At the same time, ABS impresses with its very good printability, paintability and polishability and is therefore ideally suited for the production and further processing of edgebands. Technical data sheet ABS ALPHA-TAPE® PP (Polypropylene) PP (polypropylene) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material that is currently experiencing the strongest growth worldwide. In addition to its primary use for foils and packaging materials, PP is also becoming increasingly important in the area of furniture and edgeband production. The material owes this primarily to its high environmental compatibility and recyclability as well as many positive material and processing properties: PP has little whitening, has a low specific weight, is flame retardant and very resistant to UV light and chemicals.
