Project Overview

Built For A Regius Chair

As part of the Queen's 90th Birthday celebrations, the University of Liverpool was awarded the rare and respected Regius Chair, recognising exceptional teaching and research in Chemistry. To welcome the new Regius Professor and his team, the university commissioned a cutting-edge laboratory to match. Our long-standing customer APMG Ltd, with over 80 years' experience designing high-quality laboratory furniture, manufactured the bespoke fitted furniture. Its sister company Clean Air Ltd designed and manufactured the 21 advanced technology fume cupboards.

Demanding Chemistry. Uncompromising Surfaces.

Project Overview

Chemistry environments are among the most demanding, so material selection for the worktops was critical to delivering the future-proof laboratory the university required. Trespa® TopLab® PLUS was specified for the worktops of the lab's four main bays and for the fume cupboard baffles, a range suited to spaces where hygiene, contamination control, sustainability and ergonomics all matter. Manufactured using Trespa's in-house Electron Beam Curing technology, it delivers a smooth, closed surface structure with high resistance to aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents.

Our Capabilities

Tested. Certified. Trusted.

Trespa® TopLab® PLUS is cured with high-energy electrons at a controlled rate, producing a smooth, closed surface structure. The result is high resistance to aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents, durability and impact resistance, scratch and wear resistance, high dimensional stability, easy cleaning and suitability for contact with food. Chemical resistance is verified against 24-hour SEFA-3 testing, the international benchmark specifiers use to evidence a safe laboratory environment.

01
SEFA 3 Tested
01
The SEFA-3 chemical stain resistance test evaluates how a finish withstands chemical spills. Trespa® TopLab® PLUS delivers high chemical resistance over 24 hours, an important factor for a university where rigorous international standards must be met.
02
EBC Surface Technology
Electron Beam Curing is Trespa's fast, non-thermal in-house method, using high-energy electrons to cure the panel surface. It creates a closed structure that resists contamination, cleans easily and holds dimensional stability under constant use.
03
21 Fume Cupboards
Alongside APMG's bespoke fitted furniture, sister company Clean Air Ltd designed and manufactured 21 advanced technology fume cupboards, with TopLab® PLUS specified for the baffles, extending the same resistance to the lab's most demanding zones.
