Corian adds 'Resilience Technology'
The DuPont Corian Design business is pointing to its new manufacturing process called Resilience Technology as the key to an improved version of Corian Solid Surface. The company is also pointing to superior damage forgiveness, easier and quicker stain removal, and less need for maintenance.
Corian Solid Surface with Resilience Technology also is 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 or homeowners. This gentle washing visibly removes low-level scratches. These superior properties are built into the material and the performance is permanent, lasting for the entire life of the material, the company says.
These improvements aim to further increase the possibilities of Corian Solid Surface in a variety of commercial applications – such as hospitality, education, healthcare, retail, offices and food service – as well as in the residential market.
A patent-pending invention, the Resilience Technology is based on a series of chemistry and process innovations developed by the research and development team of Corian Design. This technology, the company says, acts as an overall enhancer of the performance of all the attributes of Corian Solid Surface.
The four colors of Corian Solid Surface with Resilience Technology are: Summit White, Stratus (a gray tone); Keystone (a color inspired by the look of concrete); Cool Gray (combining small particles of different sizes into a gray matrix).
"In summer 2017, we launched the Make Your Space campaign, marking the beginning of a new era for Corian®. This campaign is materialising in new marketing initiatives, new collaboration opportunities with customers, specifiers and industry, in the development of innovative colors, textures and functionalities. Within such vision, we are now launching the Resilience Technology which will demonstrate once again Corian Design as a superior solution for interior design and architecture, perfectly aligned with our Make Your Space tagline,” said Julie Eaton, global business director, Corian Design.
