Laboratory Sheet is a high-quality protective mat made from durable silicon or natural rubber, designed to prevent direct contact between glassware and hard bench surfaces. It acts as a shock-absorbing, anti-slip layer that reduces breakage risks and enhances bench safety in laboratory workflows. Ideal for research, industrial, and academic environments, it ensures a clean, stable, and damage-free working surface.
Key Features
- Non-slip, cushioned surface that stabilises glassware and sensitive instruments.
- Excellent shock absorption, reducing breakage and preventing bench damage.
- Chemical-resistant and heat-resistant material suitable for demanding lab conditions.
- Flexible and easy to handle, it can be rolled or laid flat without deformation.
- Long-lasting durability, designed to withstand daily use in rigorous lab environments.
- Easy to clean, supporting hygienic laboratory operations.
- Available in silicone or natural rubber, based on application needs.
