When it comes to laboratory surfaces, durability and resistance are paramount. LOC Scientific proudly offers Epoxy Resin Countertops, a top choice for laboratories requiring robust, chemical-resistant work surfaces.
Our modified epoxy resin countertops are specifically engineered to provide superior physical and chemical resistance, making them ideal for heavy-duty laboratory applications.
Crafted from a uniform mixture throughout, these countertops are designed to withstand the rigors of daily lab work without relying on a fragile surface coating that could easily be compromised by chemical or physical abuse.
Countertops and curbs are molded from a modified epoxy resin specially compounded and cured to provide optimum physical and chemical resistance required for a heavy-duty laboratory working surface. They are a uniform mixture throughout and do not depend on a surface coating that can be readily removed by chemical or physical abuse.
Tops have a thickness required, with a drip groove provided on the underside of all sink top exposed edges. All edges shall have a slight radius. Curbs are bonded to the surface on the top to form a square, water-tight joint. All joints in tops are bonded with an approved epoxy cement and shall be smooth and water-tight. Counters with integral curbs have a junction with a ¾” radius, except around columns and special cutouts, which will have a standard bonded curb.
Epoxy Resin is highly resistant to the normally used laboratory alkalies, alcohol, acids and solvents. The following solutions listed were tested for a period of 24 hours with optimum resistance.
| Flexural Strength | ASTM-Method D-790 | 16000/psi |
| Compressive Strength | ASTM-Method D-695 | 36,500/psi |
| Hardness Rockwell M | ASTM-Method D-785 | 110 |
| Density Gr./CC. | ASTM-Method D-792 | 123.55 lbs/ft3 |
| Water Absorption | ASTM-Method D-570 | 0.01% |
| Flame Test | ASTM-Method D-635 | Self-extinguishing |
A Bunsen burner overturned on a working surface for several minutes causes no adverse effects. Epoxy resin is self-extinguishing, in accordance with ASTM-Method D-635. Independent laboratory test reports are available upon request.
Caring for and cleaning your countertops are just as important as the advantages these countertops provide. Learn more about Cleaning and Caring for Epoxy Resin countertops.
