The corian is the market leader in solid surfaces, it is a product developed by the Dupont Company. It is basically VNMG Insert a compound that stands out not only for being resistant, but also for being thermo formable. Consequently, it is used in different areas such as the bathroom, the kitchen, the facades of homes, as well as pieces of furniture in general. It is a product that is currently booming and its tendency is to grow over time.

It is worth mentioning that it is not any material, in fact, thanks to its enormous translucent capacity, as well as the ease of modeling and the possibility of being able to carry out designs without apparent joints, they have transformed the Corian into an experimental material for a lot of avant-garde design works. But not only stands out for being a material that offers great resistance, it is also a material that by its characteristics, allows to obtain finishes with an exceptional visual appearance, allowing it to be integrated into virtually any type or style of decoration.

How is Corian made?

The Corian is manufactured in both plates and preformed parts. When it comes to plates, the mixture of aluminum trihydrate and resin is poured into a conveyor belt that crosses a cooling tunnel. When the mixture is completely cold, the edges of the sheet are cut into standardized widths that are 760 mm and 930 mm. transversely; the length of these plates is 2490 mm and 3680 mm, while the most used thicknesses are 6 mm and 12 mm.

In the case of preformed parts, the mixture is simply poured into molds and subsequently worked.

Advantages of the Corian Acrylic solid surface

With the Corian you can manufacture furniture of great strength and quality, as in the case of solid Surface countertops that are available in Asealia. This material is preferred over others as it offers many advantages, for example:

The Corian is hard and very abrasion resistant

It is suitable for outdoors since it is not affected by ultraviolet radiation

Parts made with Corian can be joined using special two-component adhesives in such a way that there is no need to use the joints.

In addition the Corian is not porous, therefore it perfectly resists stains and is very easy to clean and wash.

The Corian is inert, which means that in case of fire, the gases generated from its combustion are not toxic.

Disadvantages of the Corian

In general terms, its biggest disadvantage is the price, since it is usually somewhat more expensive than other alternative materials.

Corian is usually sensitive to some chemicals such as certain solvents and acetone.

Because its hardness equals that of hardwood, it is relatively easy to scratch; it can even be DCMT Insert susceptible to deformation against very hot elements.

History of Solid Surface

• formed in the late 1960s
• Thickness was ?" (19 mm) and seams were highly visible
• first colors were all shades of white
• Color was introduced in 1983
• Particulate patterns were introduced in 1984
• great particulate patterns were introduced in 1991
