Solid surface material was developed in the 1960s by DuPont and marketed as Corian®. Therefore, in the minds of many fabricators, architects and carpenters, the term solid surface material is still associated with the same brand, Corian®. Today, the solid surface material market has grown significantly and offers numerous other brands such as HIMACS, Avonite®, Krion®, Varicor® und GetaCore® and and many more.
