- Wood Laboratory Cabinet

Wood has handled abuse of the classroom, as handles impact abuse. The
negatives for using wood in the lab is its organic nature. Wood over time absorbs fumes which can lead to odor and other issues. It relys on its finish to protect it which overtime it wears thin or comes off and becomes porous so wood absorbs fumes. It is not as hygenic as other materials, but has performed well in schools and educationals, as long as fire contribution is not an issue. It is never use in fuel facilities or similar labs, and should not be used where no sprinkler system or where chemicals are in use.
- Plastic Laminated Wood Laboratory Cabinets usually called out AWI 400 Laboratory Grade
Commercial Grade laminate can work in some labs, as hygenic, do not absorb fumes, and is usually less expensive than wood or wood veneer lab cabinets.
- LEEDS Laboratory Cabinets - Recycled amp& Strawboard Core
When built to laboratory standards performs as any laminated wood lab grade casework.
- Chemsurf or Chemguard Laminated Lab Cabinets - Chemsurf resists chemical attack well, does scratch and should not be used with heat. Chemguard
resists acids even better than Chemsurf. Both laminates materials are used for the
doors and door and sometimes as liners for laboratory cabinets that are laboratory grade. Our lab cabinets are free standing, self-supporting, have removeable back panels, hardware that is epoxy coated or Teflon coated, and drawers capable load in excess of 100# at a minimum; and our shelves are 1" or reinforced shelves. All have a
Five year limited material warranty.
- Metal Laboratory Furniture Metal has been a standard for over 60 years: Metal Laboratory Cabinets is still the standand for most industrial laboratories. We have a history of supplying fine quality strong metal products. Its the gauge and grade that counts in metal(22 is lighter than 20). The lower the number the heavier the material a 14GA is thicker than an 18GA.

ACID CORROSIVE CHEMICAL STORAGE
- Flammable Chemical Storage Cabinets
- Fume Hood Base Cabinets
Hoods can be supported by Acid bases or Flammable base cabinets or a combination of both.
Hood can have a none chemical storage unit known as a standard hood base; which is special so it can support the weight of a fume hood, and accommodate sinks within the hood. Acid bases can have a sink penetration, but solvent or flammable bases cannot. Some venting into the hoods is done, but this should be done only if there is no other way to vent the base cabinets. Vent kits are available so cabinets can be vented to outdoors or at least into the duct run going to the fume hood's fan. Do call if you wish to discuss venting into hood issues.
