What is Trespa?
Trespa is a flat one piece panel based on thermosetting resins, homogeneously reinforced with cellulose fibres and manufactured under high pressure and temperature. Using special techniques, the panels have an integrated, decorative surface with melamine-impregnated paper. It is ideal for laboratory environments as it resists aggressive chemicals for up to 6 hours before it needs to be cleaned off, enough time to cover the majority of spillage cases. The easy to clean nature combined with good chemical resistance makes Trespa ideal for use in a variety of laboratory and pharmaceutical, cosmetic, electronic and food production environments.

There are two type of Trespa Worktop:
Both countertops are available in 16mm or 20mm panel thickness. As standard we use 16mm Trespa BASE for our Lab Worktops however we can provide any of the options if required. For more information please see below.

Here are a few guides we have put together if you require more information on the material:

​Trespa TopLab BASE (Athlon)

Chemical resistance
Trespa Base (Athlon) has a good resistance to organic solvents such as acetone, toluene, xylene and similar substances. The panel is also resistant to disinfectants and detergents, food juices and dyes. These affect neither the properties nor the appearance of the panel.

Moisture resistance
Trespa Base (Athlon) is not affected by moisture, mold and rot do not occur. Both the surface and the core are made of thermosetting resins, which make them impervious to moisture.

Wear and Tear
The special surface structure and durability of Trespa BASE (Athlon) make it highly scratch resistant. The panel retains its excellent properties for a very long time, even after intensive use. Tests in accordance with EN 438-2/91 prove that Trespa BASE (Athlon) is highly resistant to wear. It is ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Easy to clean
The closed non-porous surface of Trespa BASE (Athlon) does not attract dirt. Trespa BASE (Athlon) panels can be cleaned with either normal cleaning agents or with strong disinfectants because the material is chemically resistant. Graffiti can easily be removed with an organic solvent without danger of affecting the colour.

​Trespa TopLab PLUS

Trespa TopLab PLUS is much like BASE however is specified where you need a greater resistance to aggressive chemicals, more like 24 hours that the 6 hours BASE affords. It is a self-supporting flat panel with a cellulose fibre reinforced phenolic resin core. Each panel has an integrated, decorative surface based on pigmented, electron beam cured resins which are resistant to the most aggressive chemicals, and easy to clean and maintain.

Manufactured with Trespa’s unique Electron Beam Curing (EBC) technology, Trespa® Toplab®PLUS surface is easy to clean and shows a high resistance to a large number of aggressive chemicals. It also has inherent antibacterial properties without the addition of microbial additives. Trespa® Toplab®PLUS panels provide an ideal choice in environments where hygiene, avoidance of contamination, sustainability, ergonomics and safety are of importance. Trespa® Toplab®PLUS is extensively used in a wide variety of lab environments worldwide, including chemical, physical, analytical and microbiological laboratories.
