New DuPont™ Zodiaq^® Terra Collection

Adds Texture to Kitchens and Baths

Sustainably Sourced Quartz Colors Uplift Indoor Environments

ATLANTA, May 1 - 3, 2009 – The 2009 DuPont™ Zodiaq^® Terra Collection – Licorice, Wintergreen, Coriander and Flax – combine stunning three dimensional beauty and texture with 25 percent post consumer recycled glass content.

The four new luxurious quartz colors will help renew flagging spirits and help restore stressed out homeowners seeking rejuvenation from today's fast-paced world. Designers will feel good that the colors are flawlessly designed but also a more sustainable choice. All four colors; Licorice, Wintergreen, Coriander and Flax, contain at least 25 percent post consumer recycled glass content. Further, the colors will be submitted for Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) approval by Summer 2009.

"When our days aren't as kind as they should be, it's natural that we want to retreat to spaces that refresh. That's the feeling we are trying to convey with the new members of the Terra Collection," said Maureen McGeehan, marketing manager - DuPont Surfaces. "At DuPont, we strive to offer designers choices that bridge good design, practicality while being more sustainable."
