Talk:Corian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Edit removal

I have removed the following paragraph:

Corian, similarly to many solid surfacing materials, can be scratched or damaged by chemicals, and is not heat resistant, so it can be melted by hot pots and pans. Corian is more expensive than laminate and butcher block countertops and significantly more expensive than tile, but is less expensive than high quality granite.

First, their are very few household chemicals that will damage solid surface, Acetone being one of them. Second, Corian IS heat resistant, however not heat proof. Third, it's physically impossible to melt solid surface (it turns to a gas at high temperatures). Last, price depends on region, so check with your local fabricator for price. -HalcyonStrings

Thanks. Editors are reminded of our Verifiability and Reliable Sources policies before adding potentially unsourced, incorrect information to articles. There is a spec sheet available on the DuPont website. ~Kylu (u|t) 21:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow, all of those things you removed seem like valid and useful information. Perhaps some clarification was in order, but removal? I somehow doubt the original poster is one of your DuPont P.R. subordinates, so why the deletion?72.237.251.40 18:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The removal was necessary because all information was incorrect. HalcyonStrings 14:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

The meganite or whatever it's called portion seems out of place. Would a normal person think this belonged here, or just a salesperson who's trying to win everybody over? God help us as we move in the brave new era of corporate wiki-awareness.72.237.251.40 18:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

A better alternative would be a comparison chart for solid surface and also another one for different types of countertops. HalcyonStrings 14:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any info on DuPont Zodiaq?

Just wondering if there should be a mention of the related DuPont Zodiaq compound? How do they compare to each other? --24.249.108.133 19:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Once again, a comparison chart would be better. Corian isn't Zodiaq and I don't think information on Zodiaq here is appropriate. HalcyonStrings 14:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
