ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ) is a strong, mechanically and thermally resistant, high quality thermoplastic with a positive environmental balance. This chlorine-free plastic has been successfully used in the furniture industry for 20 years. The special technological properties and outstanding processing and disposal qualities of ABS plastic contribute to its penetration into the furniture manufacturing market. An impact-resistant edge material that retains its properties even at very low (down to −30 ° C) and high (plasticization begins at 100 ° C) temperatures, does not cause any difficulties during processing. Resistance to high temperatures makes it possible to use more resistant types of adhesives and guarantees reliable adhesion. 

Comparing with PVC edge bands, the thin ABS edge does not melt when working on hand-held curvilinear machines, so there is no need to use special low-temperature adhesives.

And also ABS edge bands are popular in laser technology due to its resistant to fire, lasers can be used in trimming  ABS banding because of its material feature.
