SM'art ABS Edgebanding for Panels Finished in Deep Wood Tones
This roll of SM'art ABS edgebanding in color Chrysler (SMM021) is the factory-matched edge solution for SM'art decorative panels in the Manhattan finish. At 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick, it covers the cut edges of 19 mm panels with enough overhang to trim flush on both faces. The roll runs 328 feet, enough to finish a full production run without splicing in a second spool mid-job.
Key Features
- Vendor color match: Produced by SALT International to match SMM021 Chrysler panels in the SM'art collection, so face and edge read as a single surface.
- 43 mm working width: Sized to overhang a 19 mm panel face on both sides, leaving material for a clean flush trim on the edgebander.
- 1 mm ABS construction: Chlorine-free polymer that meets specifications where PVC is restricted and holds color and gloss consistently across the roll.
- Manhattan finish: The surface texture and sheen of this band align with the Manhattan finish family in the SM'art collection, keeping the visual language consistent at the edge.
- 328-foot production roll: A full commercial roll sized for cabinet shop throughput, not sample or repair quantities.
Where This Edgebanding Earns Its Place
Chrysler is a deep, structured wood tone in the SM'art line, and it reads most convincingly when the cut edge disappears into the same color and texture. This banding is specified for exactly that: cabinet boxes, shelving, door frames, and drawer components where the exposed core would otherwise break the decor. The Manhattan finish gives the edge the same surface character as the panel face, so the join holds under close inspection and direct light. Shops running a mixed board list can keep this roll loaded and pull from it any time an SMM021 Chrysler panel reaches the edgebander.
Material and Construction
ABS polymer is the standard for European decorative panel programs because it is dimensionally stable, machines cleanly at the trimmer, and takes glue consistently along the full length of the roll. Its chlorine-free chemistry means it clears job specifications that exclude PVC without requiring a separate sourcing decision. At 1 mm, this band is the right thickness for standard casework edges: rigid enough to resist impact, thin enough to disappear at a mitered or post-formed corner. SALT International produces this banding alongside its SM'art panels, which is the only way to guarantee that the decor, texture, and sheen index of the band and the panel face were calibrated against the same reference.
Who Orders This Roll
Cabinet shops running SM'art panels in Chrysler are the natural buyer. Whether the work is residential cabinetry, commercial millwork, or retail fixture builds, the logic is the same: a matched roll on hand means the edge step does not become a sourcing problem when the panel arrives. Designers specifying SM'art for a project should note the color code and roll dimensions when they write the material list, so procurement does not substitute a close third-party color that will not hold up at the edge. For a shop processing panels to a cut list, 328 feet covers a meaningful run before a reorder is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this banding require a glue pot, or can it run pre-glued?
This roll is unglued banding for use with a standard edgebander and a glue pot or hot-melt cartridge system. It is not pre-glued iron-on tape.
Is the Manhattan finish a texture I can feel, or is it a visual effect only?
The Manhattan finish has a physical surface structure you can feel under the hand, not just a printed appearance. It corresponds to the emboss on SM'art panels carrying that finish designation.
Will this band work on panels thicker than 19 mm?
At 43 mm wide, this band has enough width to trim flush on panels up to roughly 38 mm, but its primary match is to the 19 mm SM'art panel program. Confirm panel thickness against the band width before running it on heavier stock.
Is ABS banding safe to specify on projects with low-VOC or PVC-free requirements?
ABS is chlorine-free, which satisfies most PVC-exclusion requirements. For a formal low-VOC submittal, confirm against the specific specification language and request the material safety data sheet.
The Right Edge for the Panel You Already Chose
When the panels are cut and the edgebander is loaded, the last thing a shop needs is a banding color that does not quite match. This roll was made to go with SMM021 Chrysler, in the finish family it was designed for, so the edge closes out the panel rather than announcing itself.
