Laboratory Phenolic Worktops — Lightweight, Resilient, and Lab-Efficient

Crafted for Lab Toughness with Lightweight Efficiency

Phenolic resin worktops are composed of layered kraft paper saturated with phenolic resin and cured under high heat and pressure. This process creates a solid, monolithic surface that is impressively lightweight yet highly durable.

Engineered to Resist Chemicals, Heat & Moisture

Ideal for labs working with a broad range of reagents, phenolic tops offer outstanding resistance to common chemicals, moderate heat (up to ~350 °F / 176 °C), moisture, bacterial growth, and staining. Built-in moisture resistance also helps prevent mold and warping.

Solid Durability and Mechanical Integrity

Boasting high tensile, compressive, and impact strength, phenolic resin countertops endure daily lab wear—like equipment impact or chemical spills—with long-term stability and performance.

Clean, Safe & Easy to Maintain

Phenolic surfaces are non-porous, antimicrobial, and simple to clean—ensuring hygienic work zones in laboratory environments. They’re also flame-resistant and non-conductive, making them safe for diverse workflows.

Smart, Cost-Effective Lab Choice

Often more affordable than epoxy resin tops, phenolic worktops offer faster fabrication, lighter installation, and adaptable sizing—making them an efficient choice for educational labs, test facilities, clinical spaces, and general-purpose labs.

When to Choose Phenolic vs. Other Materials

Phenolic countertops are perfect for labs that need a good balance of chemical and heat resistance, durability, hygiene, and value. If your workflows involve extreme heat or highly corrosive chemicals, you might consider upgrading to epoxy resin instead.

Laboratory Phenolic Worktops offer a dependable, affordable, and practical surfacing solution for a wide range of lab applications—where cleanliness, resilience, and cost-effectiveness are top priorities.
