Resistop - The First Choice in Laboratory Work Surfaces

Resistop, Chemical and Stain-Resistant Solid Phenolic Core Laboratory Grade Compact Laminate and 1 mm (0.039”) chemical resistant laminate are a special category of decorative panels engineered to resist a wide variety of staining from acids, solvents, general reagents and cleaning agents.

Resistop is a high-pressure laminate and alternatively, a solid composite panel, engineered as laboratory grade surfaces commonly exposed to acids, solvents, general reagents and cleaning agents. Produced in North America at an ISO Certified facility, Resistop is also rated as a  “anti-static protective material” by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM D257-78) and is primarily suitable for laboratory work surfaces, fume hood decks, Fumehood liner panels, pegboards (drying racks), reagent racks, commercial countertops, cabinet drawer fronts, locker drawers, shelving, window sills, toilet partitions, and decorative casework components. Resistop panels provide exceptional chemical and stain resistance with the flexibility and design advantage of Postforming grade laminate and Thick, Solid Phenolic Cores. 

Greenguard-certified low-emission surfacing makes for a healthier environment in any setting: commercial, residential, hospitality or healthcare, K-12 schools for furniture products. Resistop laminate or solid phenolic can be used as a surface on Greenguard-certified office or school furniture to obtain a LEED-CI credit for Low Emitting Office Furniture (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Rating System for Commercial Interiors).

Resistop laminate is available in postforming grade (0.039” / 1.0 mm) and in a vast range of thick, solid phenolic
(up to 1.25” / 32 mm thickness) compact laminate grades. With a choice of over 200 solid, granite like and patterned color or wood grain colors, designing Laboratory Countertops, shelving, and other diverse applications, has never been easier for architects, consultants or in-house personnel.

RESISTOP brand chemical resistant laminates are manufactured for application to interior horizontal and vertical surfaces where a superior wear and chemical resistant surface is required. In addition to providing resistance to chemical spills, it provides excellent resistance to scuff and abrasion. Specific applications may include laboratory bench tops, laboratory furniture as fascia panels, hospital or health facility countertops, and photographic processing work areas. Resistop laminates are certified to ISO 9002 since 1995 and has recently upgraded to ISO 9001:2000 in 2003 and are certified to the most stringent international testing standards.

Limitations: High-pressure laminates are not recommended for exterior use. The laminate should not be bonded to plaster board, gypsum board, plaster, concrete blocks or similar materials.

Applications: Resistop HPLs can be bonded to marine plywood, general grade plywood, particleboard and MDF board. For most application, thermosetting, vinyl and contact adhesives are recommended. It is manufactured for interior applications such as horizontal and vertical surfaces where decorative surfaces require resistance to wear, impact and stains. Horizontal applications include surfaces of counters, tabletops, residential and commercial furniture, vanities, case goods and store fixtures. Vertical applications include wall panels, laminate interior doors, bath enclosures, toilet partitions, elevator cab interiors and cabinets.
