Aspects to consider |
Key Pointers |
What is metal casework? |
- Metal casework refers to furniture made using hard steel or stainless steel
- They are non-porous, making them ideal for laboratories that require sterile environments
- They’re also highly resistant to moisture and microbial growth
|
How is it made? |
- Material of Construction: Cold-rolled steel
- Cold-rolled steel is usually between 0.1 and 8.0 mm
- Hot-rolled coils are used as raw material and moulded using cold work hardening
- Therefore this material has high hardness (HRB >90)
|
When should you choose it? |
- Any laboratory environment that needs to be explicitly sterile at all times
- It’s corrosion-resistant, abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, microbe-resistant
- Examples: Containment, Animal research, Industrial research, Food testing, Cleanrooms, etc.
