DuPont Corian showcases manufacturing breakthrough, technical innovation, new applications at “The Big 5 2014”

DuPont Corian, the leading surfacing material for interior design and architecture, will participate in the Big 5 2014, an International Building & Construction Show being held at Dubai World Trade Centre, 17 – 20 November, 2014 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Corian has launched a long term initiative called "Endless Evolution" focused on innovation in products, technology and services. This will be showcased in its stand (Hall Rashid, Stand 241,), in collaboration with Chabros company, logistics distributor of DuPont Corian for the GCC countries. 

Visitors of the Big 5 exhibition will have the possibility to receive a unique exposure to manufacturing breakthroughs, technical innovations, new applications, and to the whole, unique range of qualities and benefits of DuPont Corian. The stand will be focused on five themes: Adding beauty and performance to solid surfaces, Helping people to stay connected, Unbeatable design versatility, Playing with the light, generating emotions and New face for buildings. 

"The DeepColour Technology, the combination of Corian with wireless recharging solutions, the development of new application areas, the creative exploitment of a unique mix of technical and sensorial qualities are the first important results originated from the growth initiative "Endless Evolution launched by the DuPont Corian business. With these innovations, and with other product related, technical and marketing initiatives that will be presented in the coming months, we demonstrate once again our leadership in the market of modern surfacing materials for furnishing, interior design and architecture." says Tony Azzam, DuPont Building Innovations, Regional Business Manager for Turkey Middle East and Africa.                                  

DuPont has developed a manufacturing solution called DeepColour Technology (a patent pending invention) enabling the creation of dark solid surfaces which offer deeper, more intense and durable colour, improved wear performance and easier thermoforming, seaming and finishing. The new dark tones are an exciting new option availab le for industrial companies, architects, designers and consumers looking for a solid surface characterized by a perfect combination of beauty, functionality and elegance. 

In order to help people, for either business or personal reasons, to stay connected and communicate, DuPont is developing the combination of DuPont Corian with wireless power: DuPont Corian worksurfaces for home or for public and commercial spaces which elegantly offer the possibility to recharge a smartphone.  

The unique thermoforming properties of DuPont Corian techno-surface enable the creation of three dimensional shapes characterized by sinuous and captivating lines. From small design pieces of an A4 dimension twisted like a piece of paper, to seamless and monolithic curved counters and to curvaceous exterior facades, DuPont Corian solid surface is able to bring the lightness of any complex design to life in a very precise way thanks to its superior formability. 

The translucent colour offering by DuPont Corian is the widest range available on the market for interior design and architecture.  Advanced lighting and electronic systems incorporated within the DuPont Corian techno-surface, allow the creation of fascinating solutions that are both aesthetically attractive and highly functional. When exposed to light, the full range of translucent colours - combined with unique thermoforming and carving properties - offer a world of design possibilities. 

The colour palette of DuPont Corian also includes a variety of veined and textured colours with a timeless appeal. It is an evolutionary colour offering that continuously mutate and adapt to new trends, extending design solutions in any interior environment while providing the effectiveness and reliability for which DuPont Corian is renowned. 

DuPont has pioneered the use of solid surfaces for architectural exterior cladding. Offering superior aesthetics, combined with extraordinary design flexibility, durability and reliability, DuPont Corian is a smart choice for panel façade systems. Solid, homogenous and coloured all the way through, DuPont Corian consists of custom-made panels which can be used to create large, sleek, vertical surfaces with inconspicuous seams.  

It is also possible to create an inspiring range of decorative options, from 3D-textured effects and CNC pattern cutting, to curves, inlays and dramatic lighting effects. Over 70 buildings around the globe (public buildings, private villas and commercial and healthcare environments) have been able to exploit the considerable benefits of panel wall systems made with DuPont Corian, the solid surface with the broadest range of certification for architectural exterior cladding applications.
