Can I place a hot pot directly on Corian®?

We strongly advise against placing hot pots directly on Corian®. Although Corian® remains stable and undamaged at temperatures up to 212ºF (100ºC), high heat or direct flames can cause significant damage. Fortunately, repairs are often possible. To protect your Corian® from heat damage, always use a hot pad or trivet with rubber feet when handling hot pots or heat-generating appliances like frying pans or electric cooking pots.

How do I care for my Corian®?

Corian® is easy to care for. Soapy water or an ammonia-based cleaner is all that is necessary for day to day care of your Corian®. Minor scratches, burns or discoloration are also easy to repair. Major damage should be repaired by a Certified Fabricator/Installer of DuPont Corian®. Contact an Authorized Retailer of Corian® for assistance.
