Using Art Pro as a Laboratory Top Coat

What Makes Art Pro Suitable for Laboratory Top Coating?

Art Pro’s epoxy formula is designed to cure into a hard, clear surface that resists scratching and general surface wear. This durability is supported by UV protection to help maintain clarity and prevent yellowing when exposed to sunlight, which is particularly important for spaces with high ambient light or laboratory equipment that emits UV. Its self-levelling nature ensures a smooth, even finish that lends itself well to laboratory worktops, sample preparation tables, or decorative laboratory features.

Application Guidance and Considerations

To achieve the best results with Art Pro, apply in thin layers—typically between 1 and 10 mm—on thoroughly clean and dry surfaces. A 3:2 mixing ratio makes preparation manageable, and the resin spreads evenly without dripping. Allow for a full cure over 12–24 hours before placing heavy laboratory equipment or subjecting the area to chemical spills. While Art Pro is robust for light mechanical abrasion and UV resistance, consider the operational demands of your lab; for very high-traffic floors, a specialist laboratory floor resin or polyurethane might be a better fit. For surface protection in areas less intensively used, Art Pro is effective and visually appealing.

When to Use Art Pro in Laboratories

• Ideal for worktops, benches, and panels needing a durable, easy-clean finish.
• Best for light traffic zones or decorative laboratory features where a clear, glossy appearance is desired.
• When occasional minor impacts or exposure to sunlight is expected, but not for high-impact or heavy-duty flooring areas.
