and certifed fre rating.
A faade in DuPont

Corian

allows you to express your design concepts through a number of

techniques and capabilities, combining the longevity and toughness of a homogeneous sheet
material with the proven benefts of a ventilated facade.
DuPont

Corian

EC makes it possible to produce two or three-dimensionally formed faade

sections as well as shaped sections for corners, and lintel elements, therefore creating seamlessly
corresponding faade connections. Features such as corners and edges can be either rounded or
angled, as desired.

Installing confdence with DuPont

Corian

.
The reliable choice for structural shells
Todays advanced ventilated faade systems must accommodate a complex interface of materials
and design while meeting some of the most demanding regulations. This entails building elements
that provide both structural support and weather resistance, while also making a statement about
the overall architectural expression of the building. Combined with standard aluminium support
structures, DuPont

Corian

EC produces faades that are perfectly coordinated in every

detail. The result is a robust system for creating safe, thermally effcient, sensually appealing and
original solutions. DuPont

Corian

EC panels can be either mechanically attached or adhered

to fxing systems, and must be engineered with suffcient tolerances and fexibility to allow for
a variety of differential movements. Clamps or rivets can be used as visible fastening elements
and rear wall anchors are available for invisible fastening. As DuPont

Corian

EC has natural
contraction and expansion properties related to changes in temperature, a suitable fxing system
must therefore be specifed.
Easy to work with, easy to install:
Fabrication is undertaken by skilled and approved workshops using hi-tech tools and
techniques, and is supplied through a network of DuPont Authorized converters.
On-site adaptability: Further fabrication and modifcation is possible in the feld by virtue of
the materials compatibility with simple machining methods.
Corian

can offer all the gravitas of the noble stones but is light-weight, repairable and easy
to install.
A benchmark for standards: DuPont ensures a high level of quality control throughout the
manufacture of the product and in its application through trained and approved fabricators.

A cladding solution for sustainable buildings
Environmental considerations play a signifcant role in the on-going development and
manufacture of DuPont

Corian

External Cladding. Panels are made of approximately 1/3

high quality acrylic resins and 2/3 natural minerals. Pigments used are free of heavy metals,
toxic or carcinogenic ingredients. Residual material from production is rapidly renewable in the
process. Some colours contain up to 25% recycled post-industrial material.
Te key environmental characteristics of DuPont

Corian

External Cladding are:

A ventilated faade system that allows for thicker insulation and therefore lower energy costs
Durable and robust, panels can usually be repaired, if necessary, rather than replaced, meaning
less material is needed, or discarded, over the life of the building.
DuPont

Corian

External Cladding can be used for cladding renovation to reach new thermal
regulation requirements.
A reliable product with an impressive track record that is proven as safe in use and certifed as
hygienic and having no negative impact on air quality.
A solid, non-porous material that is easy to maintain without the need for sealants or treatments.
DuPont

Corian

has received important independent certifcation for its environmental

performance such as:
DuPont has achieved zero landfll status in its Building Innovations business by reducing, reusing
and recycling manufacturing byproducts and waste at manufacturing sites globally.
DuPont

Corian

can help to achieve credits for a building during the LEED process. LEED is
a rating system which evaluates the impact for environment and human life. DuPont

Corian

EC can earn points in three categories: Materials and Resources (MR), Indoor Environmental
Quality (IEQ), Innovation in Design (ID). (http://new.usgbc.org)

Lighting the way... Illuminated thinking
with DuPont

Corian

DuPont

Corian

External Cladding allows creativity to shine through, with degrees of

translucent diffusion, depending on colour choice, thicknesses achieved via engraving and
aggregate texture. This quality enables a range of luminous effects, both striking and ethereal,
and enhances the individual identity of each faade project.
It is also possible to play with the light by exploiting the forming and pattern cutting fexibility
of Corian

to achieve different effects with shape, space and shadow and with the dappling
effects of sunlight, which will alter the appearance of the material, and its chosen colour, by its
movement through the day.
Furthermore, in response to the increasing ingenuity in structural lighting designs, the ground-
breaking DuPont

Corian

Illumination Series of colours has been designed specifcally to offer

enhanced translucency. These refned translucent tones subtly alter depending on the level of
direct illumination, adding a delicate beauty to the renowned strength of Corian

Rain / Humidity / Dew protection
Rain water and condensation are removed naturally by air
fowing through the cavity - so that the insulation material
remains in good condition and effective over time. Penetration
of rain water is minimised and condensation is drained out
through ventilation inlets and outlets. The ventilated air space
serves multiple functions.
Termal insulation - Cold
The air in the designed cavity will circulate due to air pressure
differentials and thermal differentials over the height of
the building. In a cold climate this causes the condensation
moisture at the rear of the cladding to dry.
Termal insulation - Heat
In a warm climate the moving air will cool the inner layers of
the construction, thus reducing the demand for cooling energy.
The building occupants will beneft from a low-maintenance
environment with dry and comfortable conditions that can
make a positive contribution to wellness and overall comfort.

Technical information
THE ADVANTAGES OF A VENTILATED FAADE
No matter what climate you fnd yourself in, moisture is always an issue and can seriously affect
the overall performance of a building. The answer is a ventilated faade, which is designed
to breathe. Ventilated faades have a space between the cladding and the outer wall - an ideal
location for insulation materials. DuPont

Corian

for external cladding is highly suited to

ventilated faade systems. The breathing or envelope systems, combined with DuPont

Tyvek

advanced breather membranes offer possibilities for high insulation values and contribute to a
healthy indoor climate.

PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF DUPONT

CORIAN

FOR EXTERNAL CLADDING

STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE
Light-weight for reduced structural load.
High fexural and tensile strength providing excellent resistance to wind loads.
Compatiblility with typical building components, structural silicon and sealants.
High resistance to abuse & graffti.
PROVEN DURABILITY:
Easy to clean and maintain: Since DuPont

Corian

EC has no pores to trap dirt, surface

dirt can easily be cleaned with mild detergents, graffti or others stains can be removed with
detergents and mild abrasives. Tests have been done with a water-driven system at 200 bars,
with the dry-feed baking soda (i e Karsher

). This water-driven system is readily available

and is very effective in diffcult cleaning conditions without damaging the surface fnish.
Although Corian

solid surface has an excellent resistance to chemicals and environmental

pollutants, an annual cleaning of Corian

solid surface might be considered.

Colours run through the entire thickness and cannot wear away or delaminate, making the
product inherently robust.
High resistance to abuse & grafti: even covered with some of the most diffcult dirt and
graffti, or with the physical abuse, the panels can be restored to their original appearance
through cleaning and sanding, using abrasive scouring pads and an orbital sander.
FIRE RESISTANCE
DuPont

Corian

EC has proven excellent fre properties and passed successfully the

demanding EN 13501-1 norm (including SBI test) for panel dimensions usually used in
faade applications.

FIXING SYSTEMS SPECIFICATION
The fxing system usually used to mount Corian

cladding panels is a mechanical fxing system

based on an aluminium grid system consisting of vertical profles T or L shape, mounted on
aluminium squares connected to the substrate. The supplier has to check the substrate, according
to the CISMA recommendations.
The cladding panels are hung on the horizontal profle C shape by the brackets (or clamps) with reverse C shape, that
are attached to the back of the panel with a specifc undercut anchor from Keil company, making fxings invisible. Cavity
between panel and the rear wall is partially flled with insulation, protected by DuPont

Tyvek

membrane, so the air can

ventilate behind the profles. The thickness of the aluminium profles will be of 20/10 or 25/10, according to whether
you fx the profle/square by riveting or screwing. The quality of aluminium is 6060 T5 or similar.
Te whole fxing system allows DuPont

Corian

sheets to dilatate in all directions.

RECOMMENDED COLOURS OF DUPONT

CORIAN

FOR EXTERNAL CLADDING

DuPont offers a selection of colours recommended for exterior cladding applications. These
colours are expected to meet architectural guidelines for a colour change of less than or equal
to 5 units (E) in 10 years based on tests according to ASTM standards (ASTM G7 & ASTM
G155).
Recommended colours for exterior cladding applications can be seen at www.corian.com.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF MOUNTING DUPONT

CORIAN

EC: FLEXIBLE ADHESIVES

Although fexible adhesives may not be accepted in some countries, in many others they can be
a valid alternative, fully compliant with local regulations and building practices. Make sure local
building codes are checked for suitability.
The selected adhesive must be able to bear the weight of the panels, allowing at the same time
the thermal expansion and contraction of the panels.
In general, this causes limitations to panel sizes. Always involve the adhesive supplier in
calculations for your project.
For more information, please check in the Technical Bulletin or contact the local DuPont offce.
