Short Spec of Max Resistance2 by Max Phenolic
Solid Phenolic Laboratory tops / Work bench:
Solid phenolic sheet: solid phenolic core, decorative chemical resistant compact laminate with multiple resin impregnated kraft and surface sheets fused at high temperature and pressure to ASTM D494, with smooth matte-finish surfaces, colored face sheets, and black phenolic resin core that are integrally bonded. Install with the fewest number of joints & largest sheet sizes possible.
Chemical Resistance: Composite counter top material has the following ratings when tested with indicated reagents according to NEMA LD 3, Test Procedure 3.4.5:
a. No Effect: Acetic acid (98 percent), acetone, ammonium hydroxide (28 percent), benzene, carbon tetrachloride, dimethyl formamide, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, formaldehyde (37 percent), furfural, hydrochloric acid (37 percent), hydrofluoric acid (48 percent), nitric acid (30 percent), phosphoric acid (85 percent), sodium hydroxide (20 percent), sulfuric acid (33 percent), toluene, and zinc chloride.
Surface Color: Black #0082RE by FunderMax North America
Thickness: Work surfaces: 25mm (1"); Shelves: 19/20mm (3/4")
Edges & Corners: 1/8" (3mm) machined beveled top and bottom exposed edge with blended bevel corners.
Edges shall be black. Brown edges or core shall not be acceptable.
Surface: Flat only with finished exposed edges
Splash: Black, supplied loose back and side splashes, cut to size, for field application in the same material as countertops. Applied splash may be 3/4" (19mm) thickness. Curbs as installed shall be 4" (100mm) or 6" high (150 mm) typical, unless otherwise indicated on drawings. Backsplash and return side splash curbs will be bonded to the tops at the jobsite with epoxy resin adhesive.
