The main minerali s triidated aluminum (ATH) derived from bauxite, a mineral from which aluminum is produced. Since its introduction in 1967, Corian® has proven to be an extremely resistant and easy to live material. It does not flake and adapts well to daily use. Corian® has been tested for its mechanical, thermal, electrical and other surface properties;

HYGIENIC: Corian® is a antibacterial material, not porous. It is compact in all its thickness and it can be manufactured with imperceptible joints which make the surface very hygienic. Surfaces in Corian® don’t favor the growth of bacteria and mushrooms. Corian® has been certified by an indipendent laboratory as a hygienic material according to the international legislation DIN EN ISO 846;

NON TOXIC: Corian® is inert and non-toxic material. In normal temperature conditions, it does not emit gas.

SOLID: Colors and texture are present in all thinkness of the material and are therefore not subject to wear. Corian® is a solid material and it does not flake;

IMPERCEPTIBLE JUNCTIONS: the only limit to the use of Corian® is imagination. The possibility of creating invisible gluing ans continuous surfaces with imperceptible junctions translates into pratically infinite design possibilities. Particularly long counters, for example, can be manufactured in pieces in the laboratory and then joined on site so as to fornm a continuous surface. The edges can be made to look thicker;

THERMOFORMABLE: Corian® can also be thermoformed with wooden or metal molds at controlled temperatures thet allow you to model it in two- and three-dimensional form. Infact with the bas-relief technique it is possible to obtain three-dimensional motifs on the surface;

TRASLUCENTLY: the traslucency of Corian® stands out particularly in light colors and thin plates. Many desigers use the material to create lamps or lighting effects in various applications. The Illumination series, composed of colors in plates of 6 mm and 12 mm, allows to obtain special luminous effects thanks to extraordinary translucency characteristics;
