| The test was carried out by applying 5 drops of each reagent to the surface, covering it with a watch glass (except in the case of those marked with **). The test with the chemical products marked with ** was carried out by saturating them with a cotton ball that was then covered with a bottle. The chemical products were tested during a 24h period, they were then rinsed and assessed. |

- This is a 96% silicious sand and natural quartz agglomerate, pigmented and bonded with polyester resin. 20 mm thickness. Silestone is very easy to clean and maintain, as a result of the low porosity of Silestone. Daily cleaning can be carried out with clean water and neutral soap. Tools removed from burners should not be immediately placed on the worktop. Continuous exposure to the high temperatures of objects could damage the worktop.

- This is a top-performance product for indoor worktops and coatings; it is especially suited to laboratory environments due to its adaptability. It is a solid, non-porous material that cannot be exfoliated; it is almost impossible to stain; it is exceptionally hygienic, long-lasting and resistant to many of the common dangers present in laboratories.
12. Corian
| CHEMICAL RESISTANCE |
|---|
| One of the generally accepted chemical product resistance tests is the exposure of the material to a reagent during a 16-hour period, covered and uncovered. Reagents that do not have an impact on the surfaces are classified as Class I and reagents with adverse effects on the appearance and properties are classified as Class II. Most Class II reagents do not penetrate Corian, but they affect the surface, therefore, the occasional stain resulting from unexpected exposure to Class II reagents can be often eliminated with a fine sanding paper or steel wool. |
