Polypropylene Casework for Laboratory Furniture<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]Using polypropylene casework is widespread in laboratories across the world and for good reasons. They\u2019re resistant to chemicals, stress and even heat, making them extremely suitable for an experimental environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this infographic, we\u2019re explaining the process and the benefits of using a polypropylene casework for your laboratory. At Kewaunee International, we have a wide range of polypropylene casework furniture, which can be viewed <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Aspects to consider<\/strong><\/td>\nKey pointers<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What is polypropylene?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Polypropylene is a type of polymer that is made of propene (or propylene)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s a rigid and crystalline material that makes it extremely durable\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s also thermostatic \u2013 can withstand heat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How is it made?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • It\u2019s made from the polymerization of propylene gas \u2013 always in the presence of a catalyst<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Because of its ability to be moldable through thermoforming, it\u2019s a great material to be used for specific customizable furniture<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It also can keep its shape after setting, irrespective of the amount of stress<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When should you choose it?<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • The main drawing point is that it is corrosion resistant, making it perfect for chemical laboratories<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They can contain spills too\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They offer a complete welded construction \u2013 making it a one piece of furniture<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They\u2019re stain resistant<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s useful for furniture that stores or supports electrical equipment since its electricity-resistant<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Its environment friendly and can be reused as well<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
