Abs edge
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abs) is a synthetic resin-based polymer. abs is particularly resistant to impacts and heat, and is stable to the light.

Melamine paper
Decorative paper soaked with melamine resins (heat-hardening synthetic resins obtained through poly-condensation with melamine). These resins are colorless and odorless, resistant to water and chemical agents, abrasion and heat. melamine paper comes in a variety of colors or with an imitation wood finish and is used to coat wood fibre panels.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, is hygienic and resilient enough to maintain its appearance for a long time. the most commonly used type of stainless steel is 18/10 aisi 304, which consists of 18% chromium, which reacts with the oxygen contained in the air creating an invisible layer of chromium oxide that makes the steel stainless and hence corrosion resistant. stainless steel also contains 10% nickel, which increases its mechanical strength and makes it suitable for various processing techniques.

Polyurethane glue
Polyurethane glue is weather and water resistant and creates a strong and durable sealing bond. it is a heat-hardening glue, i.e. it is made of resins that develop their gluing power as a consequence of chemical reactions partly activated by heat. polyurethane glue is obtained by combining formaldehyde with other base resins. because it undergoes a chemical reaction, this glue is irreversible and is therefore resistant to high temperatures.
