Absorbs spills
The cellulose upper layer helps absorb and contain liquid across the protected area.




Protect laboratory benches and other work surfaces from liquid spills with an absorbent cellulose upper layer and a poly-coated barrier backing. Choose standard or extra absorbency in roll or pre-cut sheet formats.
BenchGuard combines an absorbent upper surface with a protective backing, creating a practical disposable layer for benches, trays and other suitable work areas.
The cellulose upper layer helps absorb and contain liquid across the protected area.
The poly-coated underside helps prevent absorbed liquid from soaking through to the surface below.
Designed to remain practical during routine laboratory and work-surface use.
Select a tear-off roll for adjustable lengths or wallet sheets for repeatable coverage.
The products share a 490 mm width but differ in absorbency and dispensing format. Check the complete product code before ordering.
A 50 metre dispenser roll for flexible bench coverage. Cut or tear the required length for the work area.
The same convenient 50 metre roll format with twice the listed absorbency of the standard BenchGuard range.
Pre-cut sheets supplied in a wallet box for repeatable coverage without measuring or cutting from a roll.
Select the format according to the size of the working area, expected liquid volume and how frequently the protective layer will be replaced.
Both formats use an absorbent surface and coated barrier layer, but they suit different workspace requirements.
| Requirement | Roll format | Wallet sheets |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage size | Adjust the length to suit benches, trays or larger work areas | Consistent 600 x 490 mm sheet size |
| Preparation | Measure and separate the required length | Remove a pre-cut sheet from the wallet |
| Available here | BG50 standard and BG50E Extra | BG60 standard absorbency |
| Typical benefit | Flexible coverage with less restriction on length | Repeatable sizing and quick replacement |
Important: BenchGuard is a work-surface protector, not a substitute for a chemical spill kit, containment system or validated decontamination procedure. Check chemical compatibility, risk assessments and local disposal requirements before use.
Choose the correct configuration for the activity, substance and local working procedure.
Creates a replaceable protective layer for suitable routine bench-based work.
Provides convenient surface coverage for practical classes and training workstations.
Helps protect the area beneath suitable preparation and handling activities.
Rolls can be cut to suit different layouts, while sheets provide repeatable coverage.
Both are 50 metre rolls measuring 490 mm wide. BG50 has a listed absorbency of 400 mL/m2, while BG50E Extra has a listed absorbency of 800 mL/m2.
The roll lets you select the required length for a work area. The BG60 wallet contains 100 pre-cut sheets, each measuring 600 x 490 mm.
For normal spill absorption, position the absorbent cellulose surface upwards and the coated barrier side against the protected work surface.
No single surface protector should be assumed suitable for every substance. BenchGuard is described as resistant to most chemicals, but users must confirm suitability against the chemical, concentration, exposure time and local risk assessment.
