C.L.I. Materials and Colours

When choosing worktop surfaces for your laboratory, you need to know that the material used meets the highest standards for scratch, heat, and chemical resistance. C.L.I. use only the best quality worktop surfaces to give you the peace of mind that your lab furnishings will withstand the test of time. Once we have assessed your specific for worktop material requirement , we can present you with a range of the materials that best suit your criteria.

Below are brief descriptions of some of the materials and colour ranges available.

			IROKO A solid hardwood material 28mm thick and oiled as standard, exposed edges are rounded at the top and throated underneath. A highly durable material suitable for chemical laboratories with a maximum jointless length of 3 metres. TRESPA “ATHLON” A solid resin panel with a melamine resin surface providing good chemical, scratch and wear resistance. Particularly suited for physics and geological laboratories, available in a range of colours, speckles and patterns. The maximum jointless length is 3 metres. TRESPA “TOPLAB plus” A solid resin panel available in plain or speckle colours on a surface which provides high stain and chemical resistance combined with excellent wear and scratch resistance. Suitable for most laboratory applications and has a maximum jointless length of 3 metres. EPOXY RESIN One of the most suitable laboratory surfaces. It is both heat and shock resistant as well as being impervious to liquids. A stable flat surface as standard which can be fitted with a seamless lip to contain spillage. Sinks and drip cups can be fitted with seam free joints. SOLID SURFACE MATERIAL “ Corian” or “Surell” are often described as synthetic stone, they are non-porous, durable and repairable so provide a surface which is suitable for use with most chemicals. Joints are invisible and impervious so working surfaces are ideally suited to clinically clean areas. TILES Red, acid resistant tiles have excellent resistance to chemicals and solvent attack, staining and heat. Fitted to a plywood base with epoxy adhesive and grout the are suitable for wash up or acidic areas. STAINLESS STEEL. Made to measure AISI 316 grade stainless steel worktops are bonded to a plywood or MDF sub-base and have all joints fully welded. This forms an impermeable worksurface which is therefore suitable for both microbiological and radioactive work. OTHER SPECIALIST MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
