Properties:
Corian is composed of acrylic polymer and alumina trihydrate (ATH), a material derived from bauxite ore. Corian is the original material of this type, created by DuPont scientists in 1967.
Originally a kitchen and bath material available in a single color, Now Corian is manufactured and delivered in more than 100 colors.
Non-porous
Stain resistant
Seamless appearance: In the fabrication process, joints can be made nearly invisible by joining the relevant pieces with Corian's own color-matched two-part acrylic adhesive.
Certified for food contact, the highest level, for all food types in commercial food preparation.
Heat resistance: the material is heat resistant up to 100 °C (212 °F), but can be damaged by excess heat.
Corian is a nonporous surface therefore dose not promote the growth of mould and mildew when properly cleaned.
Applications:
Applications:
You can use any kind of circular saw to cut corian, however the blade has to be a triple chip blade made out of tungsten carbide to avoid damage to the corian and the circular saw.
Corian can be machine tooled.
Thermoformable: Flexible when heated, Corian can be shaped and molded into generally limitless forms.
To join Corian to itself use Corian joint adhesive. Clamp the pieces tightly together in order to express any excess adhesive. After the adhesive dries, sand the area and polish to create a near-seamless joint.
Repairable and renewable: Cuts and scratches can be buffed out with a Scotch-Brite pad or orbital sander.
Sustainability:
Sustainability:
Corian Quartz lasts a long time. It can easily be repaired and renewed, thus minimising the desire or need to replace and dispose of it.
Corian products are considered non hazardous by EPA regulations and can be easily discarded with minimal impact on the environment. However Corian is not bio degradable.
Material Handling
Material Handling
Corian surfaces are not considered chemical irritants and are rated very low to slightly toxic by inhalation or ingestion.
The components of Corian are bound into the product so there is no exposure from touching or handling the material.
