do all lab floors have to be non absorbing like is it a law or anythin?
It is page 9, paragraph 9 Laboratory flooring in chemical use areas and other high hazard areas (suchas biological containment facilities) shall be chemically resistant and preferably one-piece construction with coverings to the wall. Good Practice A continuous floor reduces the potential for liquid absorption. Covings are recommended to facilitate clean up. Surfaces should be as free of cracks, crevices, seams, and rough surfaces as possible to avoid surface contamination traps. Found this under [Furniture and Fixtures ] Wet chemical laboratories and darkrooms should have solvent resistant coved flooring using sheet goods rather than tile, web.princeton.edu/sites/ehs/labsa... Could not find a hard answer about non absorbing floor coverings. In any Wet Lab, the possibility of chemical spills is ever present. To me it makes good sense to have a non absorbing floor to make clean up 100% Browse around on the source links below to find more input. Wingman
