Product Description
The Whatman Benchkote Sheet | 2300-916 is a premium laboratory surface protector designed to safeguard benches, workstations, and laboratory furniture from hazardous chemical spills, biological contamination, and routine laboratory wear. Each sheet consists of a high-quality absorbent paper layer laminated to an impermeable polyethylene backing, allowing liquids to be absorbed quickly while preventing them from penetrating to the work surface. This dual-layer construction helps maintain a clean, safe, and contamination-free laboratory environment.
Measuring 460 × 570 mm (18 × 22 inches), the Benchkote Sheet is ideal for protecting laboratory benches, chemical workstations, fume hoods, biological safety cabinets, drawers, and storage shelves. The absorbent paper rapidly captures aqueous solutions and chemical spills, while the polyethylene layer acts as an effective liquid barrier. The smooth white surface can be easily written on with pen or pencil, making it convenient for sample labeling and laboratory documentation.
Whatman Benchkote is highly tear-resistant in both wet and dry conditions and is suitable for use with disinfectants, making it an excellent choice for microbiology laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, clinical diagnostics, research institutions, food testing laboratories, and educational laboratories. After use, the sheets can be disposed of or incinerated according to local laboratory safety regulations, helping maintain a hygienic workspace while minimizing cross-contamination.
