Whiteboards & Display Boards — Expert Answer
What whiteboard works best in a science lab or laboratory environment?
Science labs need whiteboards that can tolerate chemical exposure — vapors and occasional contact from laboratory chemicals can damage standard melamine boards. Porcelain or glass whiteboards are significantly more chemical-resistant than melamine. Glass whiteboards are particularly resistant to chemical vapors and easy to decontaminate. Position whiteboards away from chemical storage areas and direct exposure to fumes. For labs that use the board to record reactions, procedures, or data during experiments, a large-format porcelain board at the front of the lab bench area works well. Avoid using whiteboard markers near open chemical containers — the solvents in marker ink are incompatible with many chemical environments. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
