Max Resistance²
Engineered for the Most Demanding Lab Conditions
Max Resistance² is a state-of-the-art phenolic work surface designed for extreme durability and unmatched chemical resistance. Manufactured by Fundermax in accordance with EN 438-4, Type CGS, this duromer high-pressure laminate (HPL) offers a powerful combination of technical performance and modern design flexibility—making it the surface of choice for high-spec laboratories across Canada.
Superior Chemical Resistance
Withstands even the most aggressive acids and solvents, including hydrofluoric and sulfuric acid.
Patented Surface Technology
A proprietary double-cured polyurethane acrylic finish ensures extreme scratch, abrasion, and impact resistance.
Extended Lifespan
Surpasses SEFA 3 standards with a 10-year warranty and 3x higher abrasion resistance than melamine or EBC alternatives.
Perfect Disinfectability
Non-porous and antimicrobial; outperforms stainless steel in hygiene tests.
Heat Resistant
Max Resistance² phenolic is heat resistant up to 180°C (360°F)
Sustainable Design
Our core paper is 100% sustainable through the use of recycled wood and recycled paper.
Black Core Collection
With its deep black core and double-sided resistant decor, you can maximize your design and reduce waste during fabrication. Extra high resin content and careful manufacturing results in a consistent depth of color, removing the need for edge treatment.
Colour Core Collection
Our four colour-through core options allow edge reveals to match the surface of phenolic laboratory countertops decor.
All 16 surface decors are available made-to-order on all colour-through-core colors, resulting in 80-color combinations available. Design oriented projects, surfaces, colours and textures can be coordinated with Canadian Scientific's extensive product range - ensuring a unique and contemporary design.
Patented Surface Technology
Max Resistance² patented technology is extremely resistant to chemical and physical abuse. Created from tested and certified raw materials, compressed
at high temperatures under intense pressure, the end result is a homogenous, decorative and extremely durable panel. Our phenolic is completely uniform and non-porous, and permanently resistant to moisture.
Exclusive RE-Technology
Exclusive RE-Technology perfects the finish and making it ultimately resistant on both sides. In contrast to surfaces manufactured by means of Electron Beam Curing (EBC) or Melamine technology, the Max Resistance² work surface offers a significantly higher resistance to scratching, impact and abrasion, as well as disinfectants and aggressive acids. Max Resistance² sets a new standard and considerably increases the life cycle of your laboratory work surface.
