General description

Benchkote

Benchkote® is an absorbent, impermeable material designed to protect laboratory surfaces against hazardous spills. The material features a high-quality, smooth, absorbent Whatman paper which quickly absorbs liquid spills and a laminated polyethylene layer that prevent flow through to the working surface. After use the sheet is incinerated or disposed of acording to local regulations.

Benchkote Plus

Benchkote Plus is a thicker, more absorbent material for more demanding applications and can absorb in excess of 0.75 liters of water per square meter.

Application

Applications:
  • Containing radiochemical spillage and avoiding contamination
  • Recovering spillage of expensive materials
  • Protecting hard surfaces to lessen impact
  • Water or solvent wick for humidity chambers
  • Lining of chemical cabinets, laboratory bench drawers, and laboratory hoods

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits:
  • Material is very strong, making it tear resistant, wet or dry
  • Smooth white surface can be written on with ink or pencil and lies flat
  • Suitable for saturation with disinfectant to protect benches where pathogens and other bacteria are present
  • Use polyethylene side up to collect deposits without absorption
  • Paper side quickly absorbs liquid spills preventing liquids from going through to the work surface
  • Spillages are trapped in the absorbent paper
  • Benchkote can be incinerated after use; the polyethylene layer does not melt or drip but is rapidly consumed in the flames
