Whatman™ Benchkote® Bench protector

Whatman™ Benchkote® is a highly absorbent lab paper designed to protect surfaces in laboratories from hazardous spills. It provides a reliable solution for preventing contamination, particularly in environments where chemicals, pathogens, or other hazardous substances may be handled. The product consists of a high-quality, smooth, absorbent paper layer that effectively soaks up liquid spills, with a second laminated polyethylene layer that prevents the flow-through to the working surface.

The polyethylene layer is rapidly consumed during incineration, making the Benchkote® eco-friendly and compliant with local disposal regulations. It can be incinerated after use, and the PE layer does not melt or drip during incineration, making it safe for waste disposal.

Key Features:

1. Highly Absorbent:
   • The absorbent lab paper layer efficiently soaks up spills of liquids, keeping work surfaces clean and safe from contamination.
2. Tear Resistant:
   • Benchkote® is designed to be strong and tear-resistant, whether it is wet or dry, ensuring durability during use.
3. Smooth Surface:
   • The white, smooth surface is ideal for writing with ink or pencil, making it suitable for notetaking, marking, or identification during experiments.
4. Disinfection Ready:
   • The material can be saturated with disinfectant, making it perfect for use in environments where pathogens and bacteria are a concern, such as in microbiological research.
5. Environmentally Friendly Disposal:
   • After use, Benchkote® can be incinerated, with the polyethylene layer being rapidly consumed without melting or dripping, ensuring safe disposal according to local regulations.
6. Multiple Pack Options:
   • Available in single sheets, pads, and rolls, providing flexibility in size and application for different laboratory settings.
7. Easy to Use:
   • Bench protectors are simple to unroll or lay flat, and they do not require any complicated setup or cleanup.

Specifications:

• Laboratories:
  • Protect surfaces in laboratories during chemical handling, microscopy, and biological research.
• Microbiological Research:
  • Disinfectable and absorbent, ideal for cleaning surfaces in biosafety cabinets, incubators, and culture rooms.
