RAUKANTEX pure: the classic edge with primer

RAUKANTEX pure is the classic adhesive board with visible joint, where the primer is dissolved before applying it to the panel or board. Characterized by its high material quality, Rehau supplies it in all sizes and decors.

RAUKANTEX plus: the next generation edge

RAUKANTEX plus is the next-generation edge with TPU functional layer that simplifies the transition to adhesive-free edge processing. 100% adhesive-free and UV-resistant, this edge offers excellent moisture resistance and allows for a seamless visual effect due to the color-matched polymer functional layer.

RAUKANTEX pro: the edge for perfect components

RAUKANTEX pro is the board with functional layer made of 100 percent polymer material, ideal for achieving perfect components with permanent zero joint effect. Completely glue-free, it offers a total color match of functional and decorative layer and, with its proven industrial quality, remains the absolute market standard. Continuous formula optimization also makes it possible to meet the demands of special applications and to meet ever-higher requirements on processing quality.

 

An edge for all technologies

The top-level aesthetic and functional results offered by the RAUKANTEX plus and RAUKANTEX pro edging solutions can be flexibly achieved through three processing technologies.

In fact, Rehau's seamless edgings are compatible with laser technology, which is widely used in various areas of industrial production because of its high efficiency; with Hot Air technology, which is more cost-effective and particularly popular among professionals working in the commercial sector and craftsmen; and with NIR (Near Infrared Radiation) technology, in which the rapid and precise transfer of thermal energy is ideal for activating the functional layer of RAUKANTEX edgings. 

Regardless of the solution adopted, professionals in the furniture industry can rely on the technical know-how of a company like Rehau that has been in the market for more than 50 years.
