TRANSLUCENCY
Inlaying DuPont™ Corian with different materials or with different colours of DuPont™
Corian® can enhance the inherent beauty of the material. Various inlay materials are
compatible with DuPont™ Corian®. DuPont suggests avoiding large inlays containing
metals
because
of
their
high
thermal
expansion
coefficients.
Logos

SUBLIMATION
Known as “image transfer by sublimation”, this technique allows designers to
personalise DuPont™ Corian® in a completely new way. The sublimation process
consists of transferring images into a sheet of DuPont™ Corian® so that - almost like a
human tattoo - a permanent image is created within the surface. The printed DuPont™
Corian® can then be re-polished and thermoformed in the same way as unprinted
DuPont™ Corian®. Image transfer by sublimation is a new tool for communication and
for enhancing creative expression by designers, engineers and architects.
Translucent effects can be obtained via the use of translucent colours or by reducing the
thickness of standard DuPont™ Corian® colours.
THE ILLUMINATION SERIES
The colour effects from these materials change dramatically when backlit. When the
lighting system behind your design is turned on, the pastel appearance disappears and
the appearance is dominated by the aesthetics of the light source. Be creative! Test
each one of these with different types of light sources to see the many variations and
shades of white light and the effects using coloured light. You will be amazed by the
possibilities!
