In addition to chemical resistance, mechanical strength is key when it comes to creating highly durable, long-lasting lab surfaces. This is where Max Resistance2 comes into its own. Thanks to its innovative patented surface technology, Max Resistance2 offers a 25% higher impact and abrasion resistance, and a 50% greater scratch resistance, when compared to EBC or Melamine Surfaces. Max Resistance2's dimensional stability is also well above the standard requirements.
Because of its superior performance, Max Resistance2 comes with a 10 year extended warranty.

NOTE: Bleach Sodium Hypochlorite (NaCLO) Tested to SEFA standards at 10 and 13% bleach solution - no effect.
Max RE2 is tested against the most aggressive concentration of HCl (99%) and Hydrogen Peroxide bleach (30% conc.) We warrant the worksurface for 10years to not change in color or surface.
Test results may dier per color.
1) result on 0082
2) result on 0085
Test Procedure: The chemical Resistance tests were performed in a SEFA certified Laboratory according to the Test Method: SEFA 3-2010 Sec 2.1. (24h EXPOSURE) Detailed Information and results are available in the official Test reports.
Results: FunderMax Resistance2 passed the SEFA 24h Exposure Test and is therefore suitable and recommended for Laboratory - worktops. FunderMax Resistance2 exceeds the SEFA test criteria by far with not one single Level 3 or 4 rating.
Rating: 0 - No Effect - No detectable change in the material surface. 1 - Excellent - Slight detectable change in color or gloss but no change in function or life of the surface. 2 - Good - A clearly discernible change in color or gloss but no significant impairment of surface life or function. 3 - Fair - Objectionable change in appearance due to discoloration or etch, possibly resulting in deterioration of function over an extended period of time. 4 - Failure - Severe staining, deterioration, pitting, cratering or etching. Material is NOT suitable for Laboratory application.
Acceptance Criteria: Laboratory Grade work surface finishes shall result in no more than 4 Level 3 conditions. And no Level 4 (Failures).
