Reducing Impact
We help interior designers and architects to meet the highest hygiene standards in residential, commercial, and public spaces.
• Corian® Solid Surface has a non-porous surface that prevents dirt and stains from penetrating the material, hence marks and stains stay on the surface and can easily be removed. By enabling seamless integration of multiple elements, its surface continuity simplifies cleaning, sanitising and routine maintenance. Therefore, by limiting the overuse of biocides, disinfectants, or cleaning detergents, it has minimum impact on human health and the environment.
• It has a very low content of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and it is also compliant with the EU REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006).
• It is free from dangerous chemicals and hence supports better indoor air quality. This specific performance is demonstrated by the GreenGuard® Gold certification. This makes it a great solution for applications in indoor spaces, where people spend extended periods of time.
• Corian® Design is committed to minimise environmental impact – enhancing sustainability in the facilities where we manufacture it and across the value chain: our North American plants use 100% of the electricity coming from renewable energy sources and they have all achieved the ISO 14001 certification for their environmental management system. The plants participate in the Responsible Care program of national and international chemical industry associations.
• Corian® Design is committed to reduce the embodied carbon in Corian® Solid Surface and all Corian® products and can share embodied carbon and global warming potential numbers.
