The properties of melamine worktops are essentially determined by their surface material. Melamine worktops are available in lab grade and standard grade. These materials differ mainly in their chemical resistance. KÖTTERMANN offers melamine worktops in both standard grade and chemically resistant TopResist®. Melamine worktops in standard grade are suitable for work areas with moderate requirements for chemical resistance.
