01 Material Profile
material description
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 of this solid surface is Aluminium TriHydrate(ATH) derived from bauxite, an ore from which aluminium is produced. DuPont™ Corian® is hygienic, long-lasting, renewable and easy to repair.
With over 100 colours now available, DuPont™ Corian® can be formed into virtually any shape or form a designer can mastermind. It withstands a lot of wear and tear - even the heavy abuse received in high traffic commercial environments. Where scratches and cuts do occur, these are easily removable, while more serious damage can generally be repaired on-site with a minimum of inconvenience. Moreover the material is easily shaped and fabricated: Corian® is joined with inconspicuous seams and can be modelled via thermoforming. It can be treated via CNC machine routing and images can be transferred on the surface via sublimation technique.
