Phenolic tops

Phenolic tops are a type of countertop manufactured from phenolic boards and are widely used in school laboratories. These countertops are formed by high-pressure pressing of phenolic resin with fiber materials (such as kraft paper and fiberglass) to create a high-density, impact-resistant structure. Their surfaces are typically specially treated to possess acid and alkali corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding common chemical reagents (such as dilute sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions), making them suitable for students to conduct basic chemistry experiments.

In physics laboratories, the high hardness and stability of phenolic tops can support long-term placement and operation of equipment, and are not prone to scratches or damage from friction or minor impacts. Their non-porous surfaces also have certain antibacterial properties, allowing for quick cleaning with detergents, which meets the basic hygiene requirements of biology laboratories.

Compared with epoxy resin or stainless steel countertops, phenolic worktops have a lower cost and outstanding cost-effectiveness, especially suitable for school settings with limited budgets. Although their resistance to strong corrosion (such as concentrated nitric acid) or high temperatures (>130°C) is slightly inferior to professional-grade materials, their comprehensive performance can still meet the daily use needs of basic teaching laboratories in primary, secondary schools, and universities, making them a highly popular countertop choice in the education sector.
