Implementation of technology for manufacturing innovative furniture edges made of polymer composition on ABS copolymer warp.
The subject of the project is the implementation of product innovation – ABS PLUS furniture edges manufactured on the basis of innovative polymer composition on ABS copolymer warp. As a result of the Rzeszów University of Technology R & D research, an internationally innovative polymer composition on the ABS warp has been developed, allowing to obtain much better physical and chemical properties and functional furniture edges. The research was aimed at eliminating the fundamental technological problems related to the current market outskirts based on ABS or PVC – on the one hand eliminating the fragility of ABS strip and, on the other, gaining flammability at V1 level. ABS PLUS furniture edges manufactured from an innovative mixture on ABS warp are characterised by a clear improvement of performance in the range of extended durability (guarantee 36 months), flammability class V1, increased resistance to mechanical damage, the highest quality, the possibility of working under variable temperature conditions and meeting environmental requirements. The results of the research are covered by the patent application P.412228 ‘Polymer composition on ABS copolymer warp’. The scope of the project includes the purchase of a complete technological line, enabling the production of ABS PLUS furniture edgebands based on an innovative polymer mixture. As a result of the project, product innovation will be introduced, thanks to which the assortment structure of the company will be expanded. The placing on the market of a substantially altered product, which is technologically distinct and of performance against the background of competition offering similar products, will form part of the product range guaranteeing an increase in sales levels both on the domestic and international markets.
