INDUSTRIAL CORROSION PROTECTION

PP OVAL & ROUND CUPSINK

Manufactured by Plastic Fabricators

A laboratory sink does not need to be complicated. It needs to handle everyday liquids, provide a practical way to drain them, and stand up to the environment in which it is being used. Our PP Oval & Round Cup sinks are made for exactly this kind of requirement. Made from tough, black polypropylene material, this cupsink is meant to be installed on laboratory countertops and hoods. This means that the liquids can be drained out through the outlet at the bottom, making the working environment more convenient to work in.

Moreover, polypropylene material provides chemical resistance to many chemicals, unlike other metallic materials which are prone to corrosion and rusting. Plastic Fabricators manufactures and distributes PP oval and round cupsinks.

TECHNICAL DATA

WHAT IS A PP CUPSINK?

A cupsink is a compact sink fitted into a laboratory counter or fume hood.

Its purpose is straightforward. Liquids used during laboratory or process work can be poured into the sink and directed away through the bottom drain instead of being left on the work surface.

Our cupsinks are manufactured from black polypropylene. The material is strong, lightweight compared with many metal alternatives, and resistant to rust and corrosion.

They are available in oval and round forms, allowing the sink shape to be selected according to the counter or hood arrangement.

The cupsink can be used wherever a compact drainage point is needed as part of a laboratory setup.

For installations involving specific chemicals, the actual chemical compatibility should always be checked before selecting the material.

Why Polypropylene Is Chosen for Filter Grids ?

🛡️
Corrosion resistant One of the principal factors that make PP suitable for manufacturing industrial filters is that it is corrosion resistant. In cases where the grid is in contact with process liquids or a corrosive environment, polypropylene can be advantageous compared to other materials. One of the main reasons PP is selected for industrial filtration components is its resistance to corrosion. Where the grid is exposed to process liquids or a corrosive environment, polypropylene can offer an advantage over materials that are more vulnerable to corrosion.
🧪
Acid-resistant material Some filtration processes involve acidic liquids. PP offers acid resistance and can therefore be considered for these environments. The actual chemical compatibility still needs to be checked against the particular chemical, concentration, temperature, and duration of exposure.
🌡️
Handles heat The material also offers heat resistance, which makes PP suitable for filtration applications where the operating environment is not at ordinary ambient conditions. The applicable operating temperature should be confirmed for the particular application before the grid is selected.
🔩
One-piece construction The grids are moulded as one piece rather than being assembled from separate sections. That gives the component a straightforward construction and makes it easier to handle as a replacement part.
💪
Rigid support The grid is made from rigid polypropylene so that it can perform its basic role beneath the filter belt. The required grid design should be matched to the equipment, belt arrangement, and operating conditions rather than selected by material alone.
⚙️
Made for vacuum belt filters These PP grids are intended for use beneath the belt in vacuum belt filtration equipment. They form part of the support arrangement that keeps the belt properly positioned during operation.
🔄
Also used in rotary drum filters The application is not limited to vacuum belt filters. PP grids can also be used in rotary drum filter systems where a suitable polypropylene support component is required.

PP CUPSINK FOR LAB COUNTERS

PP Cupsink

Laboratory counters are exposed to more than ordinary spills.

Water, cleaning solutions, chemical residues, and process liquids can all find their way onto the work surface. A dedicated cupsink gives those liquids a defined point for drainage.

The PP construction is well suited to this environment because it does not rust and offers resistance to corrosion.

The cupsink can be positioned within the laboratory counter so that liquids can be directed into the bottom drain without interrupting the main working area.

PP CUPSINK FOR FUME HOODS

Fume hoods are used for laboratory work involving liquids, chemicals, and other materials that need controlled handling.

A cupsink installed within the hood provides a practical drainage point for suitable liquids.

Because the cupsink is made from polypropylene, it offers an alternative to metal components in an area where chemical exposure may be a concern.

The drain connection and installation arrangement should be planned according to the fume hood design and the laboratory’s drainage system.

COMPLETE PRODUCT RANGE

WHERE THESE PP SINKS ARE USED?

 

PP cupsinks are suitable for applications such as:

 

  • Laboratory work benches
  • Laboratory counters
  • Fume hoods
  • Chemical laboratories
  • Industrial laboratories
  • Testing laboratories
  • Research work areas
  • Process laboratory setups
  • Laboratory drainage points
  • Chemical handling workstations

 

They are particularly useful where a compact sink is required and resistance to rust and corrosion is important.

ORDERING REFERENCE

SPECIFICATION APPROACH

The key characteristics of the PP grid are its material, construction, and intended use.

Main features of the products are determined by the material of the cupsink, its shape, and installation.

Detailed measurements and the design of drains should be checked with Plastic Fabricators before purchasing.

APPLICATIONS BY INDUSTRY

WHY POLYPROPYLENE?

  • The material used for a laboratory sink matters because the sink is not isolated from the working environment.
  • It may come into contact with water, cleaning solutions, chemical residues, or other liquids during normal use.
  • Black polypropylene provides several useful characteristics for this type of component. It does not rust, resists corrosion, and can handle most chemicals.
  • That makes PP a practical choice for cupsinks used in laboratory counters and fume hoods.
  • As with any plastic component, the actual chemical being handled should be considered before installation. Some chemicals may require a specific material or additional compatibility checks.

PP CUPSINK VS METAL SINK

Metal is commonly used for sinks, but it is not always the most convenient choice when chemical exposure is involved.

PP CUPSINK VS METAL SINK

WHY SOME LABS PREFER PLASTIC

Metal is commonly used for sinks, but it is not always the most convenient choice when chemical exposure is involved.

A PP cupsink offers a different set of advantages:

  • No rust
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Suitable for most chemicals
  • Lightweight plastic construction
  • Available in oval and round designs
  • Bottom drainage
  • Suitable for laboratory counters
  • Suitable for fume hood installations

The final material choice should always be based on the liquids being handled and the requirements of the laboratory.

INSTALLATION:-

A cupsink may be small, but the installation still needs to be planned properly.

Before ordering, check:

  • Available counter space
  • Required sink shape
  • Opening dimensions
  • Sink depth, if specified
  • Drain location
  • Drain pipe arrangement
  • Clearance below the counter
  • Fume hood dimensions, where applicable
  • Type of liquids being drained
  • Chemical exposure

For replacement work, measurements of the existing opening are particularly useful.

CUSTOM REQUIREMENTS

WHEN A STANDARD CUPSINK DOESN'T FIT THE INSTALLATION

Laboratory counters are often fabricated around the equipment they need to accommodate.

That means the available opening and surrounding space can vary from one project to another.

If you are working with an existing laboratory counter or fume hood, share the relevant dimensions before ordering.

 

Useful information includes:

  • Existing opening size
  • Sink shape
  • Existing cupsink photograph
  • Drain position
  • Counter thickness
  • Available space underneath
  • Fume hood arrangement
  • Required quantity

This allows the required cupsink configuration to be discussed before production rather than trying to solve installation issues after delivery.
