At Hawkins Scientific, we recommend epoxy laboratory countertops — the best all-around work-top material available. Epoxy phenolic resin lab countertops are the most popular laboratory furniture choice because their excellent heat and chemical resistance is perfect for the tough environment of a laboratory. Epoxy stands up to the challenge and is the most cost-effective choice for most lab countertops.

Extensive testing shows laboratory countertops with epoxy surfaces have good resistance to discoloration, blistering and cracking. This chemical, moisture, impact and heat resistance means epoxy laboratory work surfaces will look good even after years of hard work.

Epoxy resin lab countertops are the ideal solution for environments that are very corrosive or have a high level of moisture — the perfect lab countertop for science labs, research facilities and commercial areas where chemicals are used. Each countertop can be configured into virtually any laboratory furniture layout, and installed on permanent or freestanding casework, tables and carts.

Countertops Color Coded to Match

Not just a versatile or inexpensive choice, epoxy resin laboratory countertops are also decorative. Black is the most popular because it is easy on most users' eyes and improves visual acuity for comparisons, but a variety of colors is available to match your laboratory cabinets.
