A GUIDE TO CHOOSING YOUR LABORATORY WORK TOPS/ WORK SURFACE
| MATERIAL | CHEMICAL RESISTANT |
APPLICATIONS |
| EPOXY RESIN (KEMRESIN®) | Excellent resistance to practically all acids, alkalies and solvents. Highly resistant to heat and normal physical abuse. | Use wherever optimum physical and chemical resisting properties are required. |
| STAINLESS STEEL | Good chemical resistance to a wide range of reagents. | Recommended for sterile and radiological laboratories. |
| HARDWOOD, OAK OR MAPLE | Fair chemical resistance, but not recommended for use in chemical laboratories. |
Excellent top material for Physics tables, Electronic benches, and other tables where mechanical or physical work levels are prevalent. |
| COMPOSITE RESIN | Good chemical resistance to wide range of acids, alkalies and solvents. |
Use wherever a high degree of chemical resistance is required. Not recommended for fume hood worksurfaces. |
| HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATES | Fair chemical resistance to wide range of acids, alkalies and solvents. | Recommended for light duty purposes. |
| SOLID PHENOLIC COMPOSITE | High chemical resistance & moderate to high corrosive resistance | Labs requiring work surfaces that are exceptionally chemical resistant, impervious and hygienic |
| NATURAL SAND STONE (GRANITE) | Moderate chemical & corrosive resistance, fair fungal resistance | General laboratory countertops & healthcare / hospital countertops |
