The fight to control infections in healthcare facilities is no longer just a facility issue. Today, helping with infection control is a healthcare design issue and the surfaces that you specify play an important role in helping you create safe and healthy environments.

DuPont is pleased to be a leading partner in helping you achieve your healthcare design goals with DuPont™ Corian® solid surfaces and Zodiaq® quartz surfaces. A growing network of contractors, trained to work in healthcare facilities, can ensure that your designs meet critical standards. For example:

• Corian® meets all and Zodiaq® meets most of the 18 characteristics of a preferred surface as defined in the 2006 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Healthcare Facilities, published by Facilities Guideline Institute and AIA.
• Corian® and Zodiaq® have been evaluated in accordance with ANSI/UL Standard 723 Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials by the Underwriters Laboratory, Inc., an independent product safety certification organization.
• Corian® and Zodiaq® are NSF/ANSI 51 Certified for food contact. NSF is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization certifying products and setting standards for food, water and consumer goods.
• Corian® and Zodiaq® are also certified as low VOC emitting materials by the GREENGUARD® Environmental Institute, an ANSI Authorized Standards Developer establishing indoor air standards for indoor products and buildings. Corian® and Zodiaq® are also GREENGUARD Listed for microbial resistance.
