Butcher Block Lab Surfaces

Edge Grain Maple Butcher's Block

Edge grain maple (butcher's block) is a laboratory countertop material whose primary purpose is to serve for extremely physical or rough experiments. The main benefit of this particular laboratory countertop is its ability to undergo a lot of wear and tear while remaining cost effective.

What Is Edge Grain Maple Butcher's Block

Edge Grain Maple, also known as “butchers block”, is a countertop material consisting of wood coated in durakryl 102. This chemical is resistant to bleach, alcohol, and many other caustic substances. While incredibly sturdy, it should be noted this material displays poor chemical, heat, and moisture resistance. This should be taken into consideration for more delicate experiments that may be better off with stainless steel, or the multi-purpose epoxy resin countertops.

Butcher’s block is heavy, readily available, and incredibly simple to repair. This makes it a favorite medium for physical experiments where a great deal of cutting, smashing, or force may take place. Edge grain maple is the sturdiest material available.
