Corian® Solid Surface – graceful but tough; innovative but practical; seamless but formable; Corian® – silica free worktop.
The Responsible Material Specification
With the emergence of Silicosis within the stone industry and stories starting to appear in the UK press, there has been more specifiers selecting materials for use in silica free worktops.
Corian® Silica Free
Silica exposure can lead to serious, or in some cases fatal illnesses, and measures must be taken to protect workers from exposure to silica dust on building sites. Due to this composition, Corian® can be used to create silica free worktops and as such provides no risk of silica exposure when working at the fabrication level or during installation on building sites. By specifying Corian® Solid Surface, you are ensuring a silica free worktops environment and making it easier to maintain a safe work site and keeping those working with the material safe.
