What Type of Worktop Is The Best for A Lab Workbench?
The Granite and marble work top cannot resist acid and alkalic. The Phenolic work top’s scratch cannot be recovered and also cannot be polished and refurnished. The ceramic work top is too much expensive. Therefore, the epoxy resin work top is the best option because it is the safest and the most reliable material. No matter the physic laboratory, chemistry laboratory, hot laboratory, electric laboratory, bio laboratory, or biochemistry laboratory. The more extreme the laboratory condition, the epoxy resin work top will show his excellent performance.

Why the epoxy resin worktop is expensive?
The epoxy resin is made from emery, glass fiber, epoxy resin powder, talcum powder, catalyst, and curing agent. When it is delivered to the lab furniture factory to process, it is more difficult than other materials because it is harder than other material. It needs more time to cut and polish. So the processing cost on the labor cost is higher. Besides, the purchasing price is higher than the phenolic work top; when you process it, such as the sink position, you need to cut it off, then the waste material will be added to the cost. So the labor cost adding the purchasing price, the epoxy resin work top is expensive.
What Is the feature of the epoxy resin worktop?
The epoxy resin work top can well resist the strong acid and solid alkalic. It is not easy to damage with these chemical liquids and reagents. It is durable even in high temperatures. It is easy to clean and does not conduct electricity.
Why it is widely used in the laboratory?
Outstanding Performance On High Temperature
The epoxy resin work top won’t bubble or fracture under the 600 degrees, even if it is exposed to fire, it is not flammable, therefore, it has excellent performance on the high temperature
Supper Ability on Anti-corrosive
The epoxy resin work top raw material is mainly from epoxy resin powder, quartz sand, curing agent, and pigment mix; it is processed at high temperatures. If the chemical reagent drops down on the top, it won’t leave anything after you clean it, not over 24 hours.
Absolute On Humid-proof
The epoxy resin work top doesn’t contain any paper content, it can prevent water from entering inside, then it can ensure the work top will not be separated into different layers.
Fully Environmental Friendly
The epoxy resin work top doesn’t contain asbestos, is inflammable, does not conduct electricity, and does not produce the toxic element when heated. So, for the staff working in the laboratory, it is safe and enviromental friendly.
Not Easy To Be Contaminated
The work top of epoxy resin is very smooth on the surface and very dense without a hole, so keeping the waste on the surface is not easy. It can control the bacteria to grow. It is especially suitable for medical laboratories and bio laboratories.
More Option On the Color
The epoxy resin work top can choose a different color to fit your style; the color is consistent for different batches.
The above is the reason why it is widely used in the laboratory.
