Epoxy resin is the material of choice for the harsh chemical environment of the laboratory. However, epoxy resin products are subject to thermal shock and are not warranted against damage from dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Abuse caused by the improper use of these materials could cause cracking or sink failure.
Custom stainless steel sinks are available as a replacement option for epoxy resin undermount sinks in instances of repeated problems with dry ice or liquid nitrogen. The stainless steel sink can be fabricated to the same dimensions as the existing epoxy resin sink, including the drain location.
