Corian is a brand of solid surface material created by DuPont. … It 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.
Corian must be sold and installed by a DuPont certified fabricator; such installations come with a 10-year warranty covering both product and installation, for interior residential applications

- 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. The pieces are clamped tightly together in order to express any excess adhesive. After the adhesive dries, the area is sanded and polished to create a near-seamless joint. This seamless appearance is a signature characteristic of the material.
- Repairable and renewable: Cuts and scratches can be buffed out with a Scotch-Brite pad or orbital sander.
- Thermoformable: Flexible when heated, Corian can be shaped and molded into generally limitless forms which can be used in commercial and artistic projects through a process called thermoforming.
- Heat resistance: the material is heat resistant up to 100 °C (212 °F), but can be damaged by excess heat. DuPont recommends the use of trivets when the material is installed in kitchens.
- Scratches: The material can be scratched, with scratches particularly noticeable on darker colors.
- Corian does not lose its visual appearance or fade for many years, sometime decades.
