Quick answer: African Labs provides pvc & hdpe laboratory worktops for laboratory fit-out, replacement and refurbishment projects. Material selection should be matched to the actual chemical exposure, wet use, physical loading, cleaning requirements and surrounding laboratory services.
PVC & HDPE Laboratory Worktops should be selected for the actual laboratory process rather than from a generic claim that a material is chemical resistant.
African Labs compares worktop options against chemicals, heat, moisture, loading, cleaning and equipment requirements.
Suitable applications to assess
- Selected wet areas
- Corrosive or specialist process zones
- Fabricated laboratory components
Selection criteria
- PVC and HDPE are not interchangeable
- Chemical and temperature compatibility
- Structural support
- Fabrication and cleaning requirements
Mixed-material laboratories
One laboratory can use different worktop materials in different zones. The best specification is the one that matches the exposure and performance requirement of each area.
Refurbishment
Existing worktops can be assessed for chemical attack, moisture damage, failed joints, heat damage and suitability for the current laboratory process.
