Description
What is laboratory polymer sink (epoxy resin)?
Polymer sink or epoxy resin is the most popular laboratory sink and is highly resistant to many acids, solvents and other inert chemicals found in commercial and educational laboratory environments and offers an excellent combination of features and benefits.
Epoxy resin is a durable, fiber-reinforced composite that can withstand some of the harshest and most abrasive chemicals. This sink has been used in laboratories for several decades.
The durable polymer sink is highly chemical and stain resistant, mechanically strong, easy to clean and disinfect, and has good fire resistance and fire propagation properties.
Epoxy sinks are the cheapest laboratory sink brand when compared to features and benefits, resistance factors and price. While buying, it should be kept in mind that laboratory steel, ceramic and polypropylene sinks are more expensive than epoxy resin sinks.
Features of Behsan epoxy resin sink
Made of integral epoxy resin, polymer sinks are a popular choice for harsh laboratory, educational and research environments due to their durable properties. The features of these sinks are:
- Resistant to chemicals
- Durable
- Non-flammable
- non absorbent
- It has different sizes and colors (available in dimensions 45*60, 45*45, 30*30, 15*30 and 16*16 and in white and brick colors)
Frequently asked questions about epoxy resin sinks
Are epoxy sinks resistant to corrosion and stains?
Polymer or epoxy resin sinks are chemical resistant, heat resistant and stain resistant as long as proper care and maintenance procedures are followed. Chemical spills should be cleaned up immediately and washed with clean, clear water to prevent staining, which is a function of time, temperature, humidity, and concentration of chemicals in contact with materials on the lab bench.
Can epoxy sinks be repaired if cracked or damaged?
Epoxy resin sinks are non-repairable and should be replaced immediately if damaged.
How long is the lifespan of the epoxy resin sink?
It is impossible to say with certainty how long the life of polymer laboratory sinks will be, because it depends on various factors, including the amount of use, the amount of corrosive chemicals used, exposure to sunlight, etc. But in some cases, these sinks may be so durable that they practically never need to be replaced. With proper care, cleaning, and maintenance, epoxy resin lab sinks may last the lifetime of your lab.
