CREATING A UNIQUE AMBIENCE
RESISTANT & DURABLE
REPAIRABLE
WORKABLE LIKE WOOD
DuPont™ Corian® is a solid,
non-porous, homogeneous
surfacing material composed of
± 1/3 acrylic resin (also known
as PolyMethyl MethAcrylate
or PMMA) and ± 2/3 natural
minerals. The main mineral is
Aluminium TriHydrate(ATH)
derived from bauxite, an ore
from which aluminium is
produced. Since its introduction
in 1967, DuPont™ Corian® has
proved itself to be a remarkably
durable material that is easy to
live with. It cannot delaminate
and stands up well to daily use.
It resists most of the impacts,
nicks and cuts that occur in
heavy traffic areas. Corian® has
been tested for its mechanical,
thermal, electrical and other
surface properties. Please consult
online at www.corian.com on
the Specification datasheet for
the results of these specific tests
as well as details of the other
physical properties of Corian®.
Surfaces in DuPont™ Corian®
are renewable, meaning
th
ey can be fully restored with
ordinary mild abrasive cleansers
and a scouring pad.
Cigarette burns, for
example, can be easily removed
in this way. Damage caused by
abuse can usually be repaired on
site without having to completely
replace the material.
DuPont™ Corian® can be worked
like hardwood and using similar
tools. Most DuPont™ Corian®
fabricators originally trained
as carpenters. There is a skilled
network of fully trained and
approved farbricators for Corian®
worldwide, plus dedicated
service centres.
HYGIENIC & EASY TO CLEAN
DuPont™ Corian® is a nonporous
material. It is solid
through its entire thickness
and can be fabricated with
inconspicuous seams, rendering
its surface very hygienic.
DuPont™ Corian® surfaces
do not support the growth
of bacteria or fungi.
The superior hygienic performance
of Corian® has been certified by
independent institutions (such as
NSF International, Royal Institute of
Public Health and LGA QualiTest)
DIN EN ISO 846.
NON-TOXIC
DuPon
t™ Corian® is an inert
and non-toxic material. Under
normal temperature conditions,
it does not emit gases. When
burned, it releases mainly Carbon
Oxides and the smoke generated
is optically light and does not
contain toxic halogenated gases.
Because of these properties,
Corian® is used in public areas
and for sensitive applications
such as airport check-in counters,
walls and work surfaces in
hospitals and hotels.
SOLID
Colours and textures run
through the entire thickness of
the material and cannot wear
away. DuPont™ Corian® is a solid
material and cannot delaminate.
INCONSPICUOUS JOINTS
The applications for DuPont™
Corian® are limited only by
the imagination. Pieces of
Corian® can be glued together
inconspicuously to create a
seamless look, giving virtually
unlimited design possibilities
for surfaces. Long counters, for
example, can be made easily in
lightweight pieces in a workshop
and then joined together at the
installation site. Edges can be
built up to appear thick
er.
THERMOFORMABLE
DuPont™ Corian® can be
thermoformed in wooden or
metal moulds at controlled
temperatures in order to create
various 2D and 3D design
objects. Embossing effects can
also be created using the Bas
Relief technique.
TRANSLUCENT
The translucency of DuPont™
Corian® is especially striking in
the lighter colours as well as with
thinner sheets. Many designers
are now using the material to
create lamps or lighting effects in
various applications. The colour
family, called the Illumination
Series, consists of 5 colours
in 6 mm and 12 mm sheets
featuring enhanced translucency
to be used for creating
special lighting effects.
COLOURFUL
The refined colours of Corian®
propose a creative and inspired
design palette of solid, textured
and translucent hues.
Pioneering recent
developments include
DeepColour™ Technology*
offering easier fabrication and
improved wear resistance for
darker, denser shades.
Choose to work with either
single or harmonised colours,
a neutral backg
round or vibrant,
eye-catching tones.
Corian® can be used to create
inlays or as an accent hue
along with other materials.
Corian® can also be sublimation
printed with digital designs.
