Introduction to PP Edgebanding
PP edgebanding is produced from polypropylene. Polypropylene is one the many types of thermoplastic polymers that exist in the world.
PP edgebanding is the most ecological, most flexible, and most heat resistant edgebanding among our plastic edgebanding range.
Simply, we can list the characteristics of PP as below:
It is the lightest weight polymer amongst thermoplastics
It is the most ecological
It is the most flexible
It has the best properties against shrinkage and heat.
PP edgebanding is a good choice for small radius applications and places where furniture is exposed to excess temperature and heat.
We can produce all sorts of edgebanding from polypropylene (plain colors, high gloss colors, and woodgrain colors).
TECE PP edgebanding is produced in master rolls of 300mm. Therefore, it can be slit to any size from 9mm up to 300mm.
The thickness can change from 0,4mm and 3mm.
We mainly consider PP edgebanding as an alternative to ABS as they can easily be recycled / burned without creating hazardous gas. We would not recommend PP edgebanding as alternative to PVC as processing PVC is less complicated than PP.

They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
The forest of the oldest shadows: the story of the petrified trees
One of the natural treasures of Río Negro turns 23 years old under the protection law that allows its conservation. Where it is and how it was formed. Río Negro celebrates 23 years of conservation in the petrified forest as a Protected Natural Area (ANP). It is a space of 625 hectares that protects an exceptional site of fossil trunks that date back more than 60 million years.
Architecture with identity: university students from Argentina and Paraguay design and build with missionary wood
The Faculty of Art and Design (FAyD) of the National University of Misiones (UNaM) hosted the inauguration of the first edition of “Yvyvyrá: territory, matter and architecture”, an international workshop that promotes learning, experimentation and architectural design using wood and other materials typical of the biomes of the Atlantic Forest (Paranaense Forest) and the Humid Chaco.
