REHAU PROMOTES BENEFITS OF POLYMER EDGEBAND
REHAU is encouraging customers in the furniture industry to put a little something extra into their products by upgrading from melamine or wood veneer edging to one of its polymer alternatives.
It is promoting the benefits of polymers such as PVC ABS and PP in two key areas.
Firstly, in performance terms, REHAU says that polymer offers impact and fade resistance which is superior to most traditional alternatives, as well as exceptional durability and protection against water ingress. Secondly, it contributes towards long term product sustainability because the majority of REHAU’s polymer edgeband is manufactured in the UK using a proportion of recycled materials.
REHAU’s promotion of the RAUKANTEX branded edgeband has already prompted big name manufacturers Magnet in Darlington as well as Mӧben Kitchens based in Manchester to switch from melamine to polymer on some of their ranges.
Magnet, for example, has recently changed the edgeband on its premium range of carcasses from melamine to 0.6mm ABS edgeband in silver. Victoria Hunashi of Magnet, said: “REHAU’s silver ABS RAUKANTEX edgeband gives us the contemporary finish we want combined with exceptional performance. It meets our stringent quality demands and gives us a new range of options in terms of design.”
REHAU is keen to point out that it offers a complete technical support service for customers looking to upgrade to polymer. It can advise on the most appropriate edgeband for any application and can also, for example, put manufacturers in touch with glue and machinery suppliers.
For most manufacturers, the changeover to polymer edging is very straightforward with REHAU’s network of local sales offices offering on-the-spot advice. A ‘Getting Started’ pack is available which includes details on REHAU’s Express collection offering small minimum order quantities. To obtain a copy, call REHAU’s Ross on Wye HQ on: 01989 762534.
