Epoxy Resin Surface For Laboratory<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]Epoxy resins are a very unusual material because they can be mixed into a liquid and moulded into any shape that we require. Because of their high durability and resistance to harsh environments, they are well-suited for any laboratory. In this infographic, we\u2019re explaining the process and the benefits of using an epoxy resin surface for your laboratory.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Kewaunee International<\/a>, we have a wide range of epoxy resin furniture, which can be <\/span>viewed here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Aspects to Consider<\/strong><\/td>\npointers<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What is epoxy resin?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • It\u2019s a type of material in which a compound mixture is made in liquid form, which eventually hardens<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It helps in molding to the desired surface\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s usually one inch in thickness but weighs 11 pounds per square foot<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Due to it\u2019s nature, it\u2019s best suited for bigger projects such as laboratory redesigning, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How is it made?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • It\u2019s made by a reaction between epichlorohydrin (ECH) & bisphenol-A (BPA)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Primary & secondary amines are used to treat them (hardener)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They can harden at any temperature below 150<\/span>o <\/span>C<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When should you choose it?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • They\u2019re best for fixed casework because of the permanent nature of it<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They also make a brilliant choice for balance tables (because of density)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mostly found in school & university laboratories,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Why is it the preferred choice?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
