Durable Metal Countertops and Bench Tops

The most cost-efficient type of countertop for your laboratory depends on the nature of the tests that will be performed. For example, a pesticide test involving corrosive chemicals should be done on epoxy resin or phenolic resin countertops. For laboratories dealing with rocks or concrete, non-scratchable surfaces like stainless steel, phenolic and epoxy countertops are your best choice.
