Casework
Our team is here to assist you in determining the perfect solution that caters to your specific laboratory requirements. Do you need casework that is easy to clean and resistant to germs or bacterial growth? Metal or stainless steel provide exceptional cleanliness and hygiene.
If your lab deals with excess moisture and requires cabinets that can withstand such conditions, phenolic resin cabinets may be the ideal choice. Their moisture-resistant properties ensure durability even in high-humidity environments.
No matter what your laboratory conditions and needs may be, we are committed to collaborating with you to find the optimal solution that ensures unhindered functionality.
Painted Steel
Painted steel, also called cold rolled steel, is a type of steel finished with an epoxy or powder coat. It maintains resistance to moisture, bacteria, and various chemicals. These properties make it optimal for use in wet lab environments. Painted steel gives rise to a vast variety of custom color options. And, while painted steel is less costly than stainless steel, it is also less likely to scratch and dent over time.
Stainless steel is a durable, albeit noisy, material that provides excellent resistance to bacteria, heat, and corrosive chemicals. Contrary to its cold rolled steel counterpart, stainless steel has acid resistance which protects it from rust and corrosion over time. As such, it is commonly used for casework in chemical, food, pharma, and R&D laboratories.

Wood
It is not common to find wood countertops in a laboratory as the porous material is prone to trapping moisture and bacteria. That said, wood is a favorite choice for bench supports and cabinets for education labs. A lab serving a K-12 classroom or university will often include wood cabinetry, wood benches or islands supporting countertops, and wood shelving.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene makes up most plastic laminate casework. This cost-effective material is available in a large variety of colors and wood grain patterns to tailor for one’s desired aesthetic. Though not suitable for all lab settings, as polypropylene can delaminate with moisture accumulation over time, plastic laminate surfaces can be a great choice for information & technology applications and product testing laboratories.
Phenolic Resin
Phenolic resin is highly resistant to moisture, bacteria, and corrosive chemicals. Though less heat resistant than epoxy resin, it is more lightweight with a friendlier price tag. Phenolic resin still provides substantial heat resistance and is well suited to education, pharmaceutical, and medical labs, as well as R&D.

Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resin has excellent resistance to practically all acids, alkalies, and solvents, as well as mold, fungus, and bacteria. It is highly resistant to heat up to 350°F and normal physical abuse.
Epoxy resin is a highly durable surface material that provides excellent resistance to heat, moisture, bacteria, and corrosive chemicals. Education labs, industry testing labs, and chemical research labs commonly put this material to use.
