Crafted for high-performance lab use, the Phenolic Resin Worktop delivers lightweight chemical resistance and moisture protection through durable, non-conductive construction suited for demanding research environments.
Not every lab surface requires the weight of epoxy—but every lab deserves uncompromised performance.
We recognize the need for a durable, chemical-resistant, and cost-effective work surface that meets the everyday demands of scientific workflows. That’s why Idealab offers Phenolic Resin Worktops, combining strength and affordability with industry-grade protection against chemicals, bacteria, and impact.
Manufactured by heat-fusing multiple layers of kraft paper saturated with phenolic resin, this worktop forms a lightweight, non-porous, and non-conductive surface ideal for laboratories prioritizing flexibility without sacrificing resistance.
Our phenolic resin tops resist acids, solvents, moisture, and impact, while offering moderate heat resistance (up to 275°F / 135°C). The matte finish reduces glare, supports anti-microbial cleaning, and resists warping—even in high-humidity environments.
Perfect for pathology labs, clinical research spaces, analytical testing zones, and educational science labs, this worktop offers a smart balance between resilience, cost, and ease of installation—especially where overhead weight is a concern.
Available in various thicknesses (typically 16–25mm) and colors, each unit is precision-cut for custom sink cutouts, instrument integration, and seamless corner transitions. All worktops conform to SEFA 3 compliance standards, reflecting our commitment to safe, reliable, and sustainable lab surfaces.
