Laboratory materials provide durability and cost efficiency. When selecting the right lab bench countertops to match with the casework, there are several important elements to keep in mind:
Our laboratory furniture offers the flexibility to choose combined materials for unique laboratory applications. We help determine the best countertop material to provide the optimal performance.
Epoxy Resin Laboratory Countertops:
Epoxy resin is a solid countertop material combining epoxy, silica hardener and filler materials in an oven-cured process. These tops resist heat, moisture and bacteria exceptionally well at a very moderate price point, making them popular for nearly every discipline.
Phenolic Resin Laboratory Countertops:
Built for long-term performance, craft paper is layered and impregnated with phenolic resin, then thermofused under pressure to create an exceptionally durable surface. It is thoroughly resistant to chemicals, moisture and bacteria. Phenolic resin costs are comparable to epoxy resin surfaces.
Other available materials for lab benches worktops include: Stainless steel, Ceramic, and Laminate.
