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.

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.
