Benchkote is an absorbent, impenetrable material designed to protect laboratory surfaces against knocks and spillage. The material is comprised of high quality, smooth absorbent paper which quickly absorbs spilt liquids, and a layer of strong polyethylene which prevents liquids penetrating to the surface of the worktop. The sheet must be disposed of after use by burning or other suitable means in accordance with regulations in the country of use.

Applications

• Retention of escaped reagents in radiochemical laboratories and prevention of radioactive contamination
• Recovery of escaped expensive materials
• Protecting hard surfaces from breakage
• Absorption layer for water or solvent humidifying chambers

Benchkote Plus is a thicker, more absorbent material which can absorb up to 0.75 liters of water per square meter, for use in more demanding applications.

Features and Benefits

• The material is very strong and therefore resistant to tearing when either wet or dry
• Smooth, white surface which can be written on with ink or pencil
• It can be soaked with disinfectant to protect surfaces being worked on with pathogens and other bacteria
• To collect precipitates without absorption, turn the polyethylene side to face upwards
