Solid-Surface is man-made material usually composed of a combination of alumina (ATH), acrylic, epoxy or polyester resins and pigments. It was first introduced by Dupont in 1967 under the name of Corian. Solid Surface can also be moulded using dedicated moulds. Many finishes are available including-gel coated, matte, gloss, metallic and textured. Solid-Surface countertops are seamless on the surface, heat and stain resistant and available in a variety of colors, patterns and styles. Scratches can be easily softened with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad.

Environmental Impact – Solid-Surface is durable and won’t need to be replaced for a long time; it doesn’t react readily with other chemicals or elements, which means it has low impact on both indoor and outdoor environments; and it’s nontoxic, with virtually no off-gassing of VOCs.
