Use this CSI 3-part SimpleSpecs™ template to specify Plastic Laminate Clad Laboratory Casework. Construction and detailing of casework varies significantly between manufacturers. This section provides a generic approach to specifying casework. Additional requirements are added as desired.
What is it?
A type of laboratory furniture made from a combination of materials, including a solid core of particleboard or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and a plastic laminate surface layer. The plastic laminate surface provides a durable and easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to stains, chemicals, and impacts, making it well-suited for laboratory environments.
Commonly used for laboratory workstations, storage cabinets, and countertops. The casework is designed to meet specific requirements for laboratory applications, including resistance to moisture, heat, and chemicals, as well as easy maintenance and cleaning.
Provides several benefits, including:
- Durability: The plastic laminate surface provides a durable and long-lasting solution for laboratory environments.
- Chemical Resistance: Plastic laminate is resistant to many chemicals, making it ideal for use in laboratory environments where chemical spills or contact may occur.
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth and non-porous surface of makes it easy to clean and maintain.
- Customizable: Can be customized to meet specific design and color requirements, providing a seamless and cohesive look in laboratory environments.
