ABS EDGE – SKI/SNOWBOARD SIDE PROTECTION
Extruded ABS profile designed for lateral protection of skis and snowboards, ensuring durability and sealing of the core.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Modified ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) edge element, specially developed for winter sports applications.
Positioned on the sides of the ski or snowboard, it protects the core and ensures the connection between the edge and the composite structure.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Material: Modified ABS (thermoplastic)
- Type: Extruded sheet / edge
- Dimensions: 7.5 x 11 x 1700 mm
- Colour: Fluorescent green
- Packaging: sold individually
PROPERTIES
- Good shock resistance (down to -40°C)
- Good adhesion with epoxy resins
- Good mechanical properties
- Flexible and lightweight
- Good resistance to humidity
- Effective core protection
ROLE IN THE STRUCTURE
The ABS edging performs several essential functions:
- Core protection against impacts
- Moisture barrier
- Connection between steel square and composite structure
- Contribution to the overall sustainability of skiing
- improves the feeling of gliding on the edge
IMPLEMENTATION
- Bonding with epoxy resin
- Integration into sandwich construction
- Machining possible (milling, sanding)
APPLICATIONS
- Alpine/freeride skis
- Snowboards
- Monoskis
- Repair and prototyping
OBSERVATIONS
- Product easily machinable
- Good compatibility with wood cores (bamboo, paulownia, etc.)
- Must be properly adjusted to ensure the structure is watertight
TECHNICAL ADVICE – POSITIONING
The ABS edging is a discreet but essential element:
- It has only a slight influence on overall rigidity
- but plays a key role in durability and protection
Without quality edging → risk of water infiltration and core degradation.
