Laboratory With Epoxy Flat Worktop Mesa To Block The Water's Edge
The edge profiles detailed below are used to provide anti-spill (marine) edging to laboratory worktops.
Epoxy resin for years was the standard in most laboratory environments because of its high heat resistance and ability to withstand exposure to caustic chemicals.
Epoxy resin countertops are popular in many types of labs including: educational labs, hospitals and medical labs, research R&D labs, pharmaceutical labs, biological science labs, microbiology and biomedical labs, molecular pathology, and industrial testing.
Edged Worktops
For safety purposes edging can be provided to any worktop to contain spillages. This illustration shows a no.1 edging fitted to a worktop. Other edging or upstand can also be used. Full details on the range of edgings can be found in the Edging and Upstands link
