Corian Kitchen Worktops Characteristics (continued...)

Hygienic - Because it is a non-porous material, bacteria and mould have nowhere to hide. When Corian® looks clean, it really is clean.

Repairable - Corian® surfaces are renewable, meaning they can be fully restored with ordinary non-abrasive cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring pad. Cigarette burns, for example, can be easily removed in this way. Damage caused by abuse can usually be repaired. Repairability and durability make Corian® inherently eco-compatible.

 

Non-toxic - Corian® is an inert, non-toxic, hypoallergenic material. Under normal temperature conditions it does not emit gases. Corian® benefits from the flame-retardant characteristics of one of its main component (aluminium-tri-hydrate): the smoke is optically light and does not contain toxic halogenated gases. Because of these properties, Corian® is used in public spaces and delicate applications such as airport check in desks, wall and work surfaces in hospital operating rooms and intensive-care facilities, and on cruise ships and ferries.

Thermoformable - Corian® can be thermoformed at controlled temperatures into, various 2D and 3D designs, such as lavatory bowls, vanities and columns.

Translucent - The translucent Corian® look is especially striking in the lighter colours and the 6 mm sheets. Many designers have used it in the design of lamps. Light enhances the three-dimensional image of Corian®.
Workable like wood - Corian® can be fabricated like hardwood, using similar tools. Most Corian® fabricators were originally trained as carpenters.

Quality Network - DuPont manufactures sheets and shapes in Corian®. To transform these semi-finished products into the designer creations, DuPont has developed a Quality Network of people who are dedicated to delivering the very best Corian® installation and service. Their primary goal is to ensure customer satisfaction with Corian® installations. The Quality Network members are also responsible for applying and fulfilling the 10-Year Limited Installed Warranty Program.

Hygiene - Wherever food is consumed, hygiene is not optional: it must be optimal. Corian® is a material with a solid reputation in this area. Non-porous, with no visible seams, it is easy to keep clean. It is able to withstand the daily knocks and spills common in food service environments and, with normal care, it looks like new for many years. Bringing inviting, colourful aesthetics to cafes, bars, restaurants and canteens, Corian® turns eating – that most primal of pleasures – into an even greater joy.

Use & Care Guidelines
GETTING USED TO Corian® - On installation, a Corian® worktop will have an overall satin sheen finish. However, as you use it, Corian® eventually acquires a smoother, more silken finish. To ensure that this luster develops evenly, consult our cleaning guidelines included herein. You'll be pleased to see how Corian® maintains its beauty over time. Further use & care guidelines can be read in our downloadable Corian Bespoke Worktops PDF
