PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Basic use

Corian® Solid Surface is an advanced composite product used as an

architectural and design material in a variety of residential and commercial

applications. Corian® Solid Surface oﬀers design versatility, functionality

and durability. Supplied in sheets and shapes, it can be fabricated with

conventional woodworking tools into virtually any design. It is the

original Solid Surface material made only by DuPont. It is widely

accepted as a material for countertops, vanity tops, tub/shower walls,

kitchen sinks, vanity basins and laboratory bench tops in numerous

markets including lodging, healthcare, banks, boutiques, restaurants.

Composition

Corian® Solid Surface is a solid, nonporous, homogeneous surfacing

material, composed of ≈1/3 acrylic resin (also known as polymethyl

methacrylate or PMMA), and ≈2/3 natural minerals. ese minerals are

composed of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) derived from bauxite, an ore

from which aluminum is extracted. For more information on the

composition of the material, please consult the Corian® Solid Surface

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) available via the msds.dupont.com website or

via your local supplier.

Corian

Sinks and Lavatories

A wide range of Corian® sinks and lavatories is available in solid colors for

custom integration with Corian® sheets to create a continuous surface.

is includes vanity basins in solid colors for bathrooms, and single and

double sinks for kitchens, bars and small wash-up areas, hospitals and

laboratories. Seamed undermounting eliminates rims that trap dirt and

water, minimizing cleaning and maintenance and providing improved

hygiene. Care, maintenance and installation instructions are included in

the packaging. Appropriate accessory products, including installation

hardware, are available and recommended for residential kitchens only.

The Colors of Corian

Solid Surface

A broad palette of colors allows for an almost unlimited working palette.

You can choose a single color; a neutral basis for design; or experiment

with eye-catching harmonies. Corian® Solid Surface can also be used as

inlays, accents, or as a versatile complement to other materials like metal,

wood, stone, etc.

For complete information on colors, refer to corian.com. Hues, patterns

and textures are related by style and character. Dark, heavily pigmented

Corian® colors will show scratches, dust and ordinary wear and tear more

readily than lighter, textured colors. As a result, these colors are

recommended for applications where surface contact is light or for use as

inlays and accent colors. However, the DeepColor™ series incorporates an

innovative, proprietary technology that delivers greater depth of color

and increased durability compared to other dark Corian® colors. Corian®

Solid Surface with Resilience Technology™ features superior damage

forgiveness, easier and quicker stain removal, and less need for

maintenance. is best-in-class premium technology reduces physical

and visible damage from scratching, heat, and impact, typical of daily

usage in commercial environments.

Corian® Solid Surface with Resilience Technology™ is also quicker and

easier to renew. Its surface looks new for a longer time and is easily

maintained by occasional washing with water and a slightly abrasive pad

by end-users. is gentle washing visibly removes low-level scratches.

ese superior properties are built into the material and the performance

is permanent, lasting for the entire life of the material.

Custom Sheets

DuPont can manufacture Corian® sheets in custom colors, patterns and

dimensions, within manufacturing capability limits and based on a

minimum order quantity.

See Corian® Shapes (K-29965) for an overview of dimensions available.
