The core of Novalab solid panel products is manufactured from multiple layers of heavy craft paper impregnated with phenolic resin. The decorative surface is provided by high abrasion resistant melamine papers. The resin and paper sandwich is then subjected to high pressure and temperature, which results in a 16 mm thick solid, homogenous panel of extreme strength and durability. The performance of the surface is then determined by the nature of the final overlay, providing extreme resistance to chemical attack or mechanical abrasion.  

 

High Performance Benchtops

Features & Benefits

(Apply to both Resistop and Duratop)

Novalab solid core bench tops are the next generation in high performance, cost effective work tops. All Novalab compact laminate bench tops have the following outstanding performance characteristics.

• No MDF or chipboard support is needed, so there are no weak points for water to attack.
• No exposed timber products, making these bench tops suitable for all levels of physical containment and microbiology work.
• Totally moisture resistant so that it cannot de-laminate. Sinks can be under mounted to allow easy cleaning and taps can be fitted into the bench top with no concerns about possible water damage.
• Cannot rot and will not allow bacteria or fungi to grow making it the most hygienic surface for a wide range of applications.
• Finished on both sides for total performance
• Easy to clean. Simply wipe down with common liquid household cleaners, sanitisers or detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• No edge clashing. The solid core means that there are no edgings to fall off or trap dirt.
• Impact resistant and fire retardant making for a safer and more durable installation.
• High abrasion resistance for longer life.
• Anti static so they are safe to use with sensitive electronic equipment

Novalab Resistop For laboratories where a high level of chemical resistance is required we recommend

Novalab Duratop For laboratories where a lower level of chemical resistance is sufficient and high abrasion resistance and budget are primary requirements we recommend
