Epoxy Resin Worktop
The worktop shall be monolithic, filled epoxy resin product and shall consist of a polymerized cast resin material formulated to provide a work surface with high chemical resistance characteristics. The combination of epoxy resin and asbestos free inert material shall be oven-cured in molds to obtain maximum physical strength and stability. It is available in thickness of 19mm and different color combination. Edges and corners furnished with flat, radius marine edges to prevent spillage of fluids. Worktops shall be provided with 100mm high backsplash ever shown in drawing same material and thickness as worktop. Applied backsplashes are to be joined to the top at the job site. Also these tops shall be highly resistant to normally used laboratory reagents.
Advantages
Worktop with very good level of chemical resistance, recommended for moisture and wet areas, high temperature load areas, areas with stress on chemical load. Not suitable for sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, potassium permanganate, various solvents.

Phenolic Resin Worktop
Phenolic Resin counter tops are lightweight, hard, durable and highly chemical resistant. They are oil and moisture resistant and do not support the growth of most bacteria and fungus.
It provides us with continuous heat exposure up to 350°F (176°C). And is resistant to scuffs and abrasions. They are the preferred choice for environments where lab experiments are performed in a contaminated free environment. The worktop shall be with 16mm thick Trespa Top. Lab plus, a self supporting flat panel with a cellulose fiber reinforced Phenolic resin core. Each panel has an integrated decorative surface based on pigmented, electron beam cured resins which are resistant to the most aggressive chemicals and easy to clean and maintain.
