Quality in the Laboratory Quality demands set by modern laboratories increase side by side with the requirements and standards to which products and services are subjected. This applies to the same degree to the environment in which tests, analyses and experiments are carried out. This is where laboratory work surfaces make a substantial contribution if they can be kept intact, clean and in a hygienic condition. Such laboratory environments support high-quality work processes, or even create in the first place the basic conditions necessary for this. It thus follows that the condition of laboratory...

FRIDURIT Technical Ceramics Work surfaces in the laboratory are exposed to extreme stresses. FRIDURIT Technical Ceramics products are tuned optimally to the work processes in your laboratory and withstand all strains and stresses. FRIDURIT laboratory benchtops and sinks stay just like new, even when permanently subjected to chemicals and extreme thermal or mechanical stresses such as scratching, scouring and cleaning processes.

Laboratory Benchtops Fridurit® n FRIDURIT modular Laboratory Benchtops FRIDURIT modular laboratory benchtops can be combined to wall-fitted laboratory workplaces or to free-standing island bench units. The maximum dimensions of a worktop are 900 x 1800 mm. Within this maximum range individual worktop dimensions can be selected freely. Appropriate adjustments to the substructure fittings result in an attractive joint finish. The circumferential marine edge means that a closed benchtop arrangement of any length is possible. Benchtop arrangements in combination with other materials can also be implemented...

n Fridurit® Laboratory Benchtops Adjustment to Structural Conditions We will adjust your worktops to the existing structural conditions. Edge cutouts for pipes, struts and supports can be planned in.

Depending on the mounting environment FRIDURIT modular benchtops are manufactured with cut (i.e. unglazed) or glazed edges. We recommend a cut edge if it is “hidden”, e.g. when wall-fitted or service spine fitted. Joint edges are always cut. This leads to lower tolerances and ensures a smoother joint. The edge finish is marked with the following symbols. = cut, unglazed edge (mandatory information) = glazed edge (optional information) Figure 19) Benchtop with 3 cut/unglazed edges, front edge glazed During the manufacturing process ceramic benchtops are subject to material-specific shrinkage....
