Edgebands with primer or zero-joint effect: always the right choice

REHAU’s edgeband solutions include the classic edgeband with primer, RAUKANTEX pure, for those who prefers the traditional processing with glue, and two different edgebands with zero-joint effect: RAUKANTEX plus, recently updated with a colour-matched TPU functional layer, ideal for the joint-free edging beginners, and the nowadays standard for perfect, lasting components RAUKANTEX pro, featuring a 100% polymer material functional layer. The seamless bond between edge and panel offered by RAUKENTEX plus and pro edgebands can be achieved through a variety of processing technologies, from the efficient laser to the cost-effective Hot Air and infrared NIR infrared ones.

A constant evolution: sustainable challenges and future trends

More than 50 years after the introduction of the first RAUKANTEX edgebands, REHAU’s innovation has never stopped and today looks ahead with groundbreaking solutions for contemporary furniture production, responding to modern society issues such as sustainability and safety. RAUKANTEX eco & RAUKANTEX evo edgebands are the emblem of REHAU’s progress in conscious furniture design and the perfect example of its concrete circular economy, being composed of 50% of recycled material from post-industrial waste, the former, and entirely made from renewable raw materials that avoid the additional demand for crude oil, the latter. RAUKANTEX fire-protect edgebands are meant instead to satisfy the fire protection theme with a self-extinguishing solution for wall coverings and halogen-free flame retardants furniture that meet the most stringent European directives.
