Heat Resistance
The top showed no blistering or cracking when an overturned 3/8" (9.525mm) Bunsen burner, adjusted to a quiet flame with a 1.5" (38 mm) inner core, was allow to remain on the surface for two minutes.

Char Resistance
A high form porcelain crucible, size 15 ml, was heated over a Bunsen burner to a dull red heat.  Immediately the hot crucible was placed on the top surface and allowed to cool to room temperature.  Upon removal, there were no blisters, cracks, or breakdown of the surface.

Fire Resistance
Using ASTM D635 test procedure for determining the burning characteristics, Epoxyn shows no burn rate and is considered self extinguishing.

Durable Epoxyn work surfaces resist heat and chemicals

Epoxyn designs and manufactures work surfaces and components to the highest standards of the industry.  Extensive testing shows Epoxyn surfaces resist discoloration, blistering, and cracking even under the harshest conditions.  This extreme high chemical and heat resistance means Epoxyn work surface components will appear new even after years of hard work. 

The rich color and chemical resistance quality permeates the entire Epoxyn work surface consistently without depending on surface coating for protection or use.
