Stainless Steel Casework — An Overview
Stainless steel casework is one of the most common types of casework because of the functionality they offer. They are rust-proof, stain-resistant, and are easy to clean. For these reasons, they’re preferred in most wet laboratory environments as they are long lasting and durable.
At Kewaunee International, we have a highly compliant product suite that fits the needs of different laboratories while ensuring that the casework is compliant as per international regulatory standards. You can view our range here: https://www.kewaunee.in/stainless-steel-casework.php
