Option A.
Basis of Design: Trespa Solid Phenolic flat panels based on 30% thermosetting resins homogenously reinforced with 70% wood fibers and manufactured under high pressure and temperature to form a composite panel. Panels to have an integrated, decorative surface with pigmented resins cured using 'Electron Beam Curing' (EBC) technology, rendering the panel highly chemical resistant and highly antibacterial activity of > 99.99% reduction after 24 hours using testing method based on JIS Z 2801: 2000.
Option B.
Basis of Design: Materials shall be a monolithic, cast Duratop Epoxy resin product and shall consist of a polymerized cast resin material and asbestos free inert materials shall be oven-cured in molds to obtain maximum chemical resistance, then removed from the molds and oven tempered to achieve maximum physical strength and stability. Surfaces shall have a uniform low-sheen surface and the finished material shall be extremely hard and resistant to scratches and abrasion.
