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.
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.
When you work with chemicals, you need tools you can count on. That’s why we make our scrapers, spatulas, and scoops from virgin polypropylene they’re built to handle tough jobs without letting you down.
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.
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.
PP cupsinks are suitable for applications such as:
They are particularly useful where a compact sink is required and resistance to rust and corrosion is important.
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.

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:
The final material choice should always be based on the liquids being handled and the requirements of the laboratory.
A cupsink may be small, but the installation still needs to be planned properly.
Before ordering, check:
For replacement work, measurements of the existing opening are particularly useful.
Our technical team is available to help you select the right profiles, verify load capacities, and confirm chemical compatibility for your specific application.
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:
This allows the required cupsink configuration to be discussed before production rather than trying to solve installation issues after delivery.
