Epoxy Resin Marine Edge/Used In Laboratory Epoxy Worktop
The edge profiles detailed below are used to provide anti-spill (marine) edging to laboratory worktops.
1. 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
2. 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 counter tops are made from a mixture of materials then cured as a solid continuous product. Epoxy resin countertops are a mixture of resin, silica, a hardener, and filler, which are molded and oven cured as a solid slab.
3. Properties of Epoxy Resin Worktop
A) And laboratory common high temperature 600 degrees, not foaming, not broken, especially suitable for a long time to place the combustion furnace ventilation cabinet.
B). Absolute moisture
The epoxy resin worktop with low water absorbition, does not absorb moisture in the air, the installation will not warp deformation, especially suitable for the operation of splash zone.
C) 24 hours super corrosion resistance
Inert materials have strong resistance to most corrosive chemicals.
Resistance to high temperature
D). Durable
One core, not to take off layer, not inflation, not cracked,surface scratches can be repaired after renovation
E). Pollution resistance
Surface is smooth, no stoma, not to hide the dirt, effectively restrain bacterial growth, such as the SARS virus, etc.,especially suitable for the medicine and biological laboratories.
