Resistop - SOLID PHENOLIC - The First Choice in Laboratory Work Surfaces

Resistop, Chemical and Stain-Resistant Solid Phenolic Core Laboratory Grade Compact Laminate panels 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 solid composite panel, made from natural kraft paper and engineered as laboratory grade surfaces commonly exposed to acids, solvents, general reagents and cleaning agents. The natural kraft papers or recyled papers are saturated / impregnated with phenolic resin and processed under high heat and pressure to form a composite panel. The resulant panel provides a chemical and abrasion resistant property required for harsh conditions in wet laboratories of science labs, water treatment plants, etc.

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, Fume hood 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 are a uniform low-sheen matte textured finished surface, extremely hard and durable and resistant to scratches and abrasion, while providing exceptional chemical and stain resistance with the flexibility and design advantage attributed to 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 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).

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, solid compact 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.
