What Does German Beer Have in Common With FRIDURIT Benchtops?
Lars Schiedhering, FRIATEC AG
Ceramic benchtops and sinks are an ideal solution for work surfaces in the laboratory given their ability to meet the demanding requirements for resistance against the attacks of daily laboratory work. This demonstration will discuss a material that is not recognized as a valid alternative to commonly used work surfaces.
The demonstration will discuss the use of this material in laboratories as a work surface, whether as the surface in a fume hood or the working area in general. Compared to other materials, ceramic offers a variety of advantages and benefits to the facility user.
Absolute chemical resistance against nearly all chemicals used in laboratories, strong scratch resistance because of the hardness of the material, and heat resistance against high temperature will enable a work surface design that looks like new even after years of use in the laboratory.
The material consists of 100 percent natural ingredients, so it is absolutely free of any emissions and is 100 percent recyclable. Together with the long-lasting lifetime, the material contributes strongly to the idea of green building and sustainability.
These application areas will be described, the properties will be explained in detail, and construction details and concrete solutions will be shown.
