Frequently Asked Questions about
Zodiaq®
What are DuPont™
Zodiaq® quartz surfaces?
DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces bring the beauty of
natural quartz together with DuPont technology to create new and exciting
possibilities. Because Zodiaq® is made of 93% quartz, it combines
the unusual light play and depth of quartz crystals with exceptional clarity
in a broad range of radiant colors. Quartz is also one of the hardest
naturally occurring materials.
What colors,
thicknesses and sheet sizes are available?
The Zodiaq® palette consists of more than 30 colors ranging from
Cloud White to Space Black.

Can Zodiaq®
be used in food preparation areas?
DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces are nonporous and can
be used in the kitchen, or wherever food is prepared.
What are the
design capabilities of DuPont Zodiaq® quartz surfaces?
Zodiaq® can be used for walls and countertops. A wide
variety of edge treatments are also possible. Due to the extreme hardness of the
material, special diamond cutting tools must be used in fabrication.
What care and
maintenance does Zodiaq® require?
Zodiaq® quartz surfaces are very easy to maintain because they
are durable, nonporous and chemical-resistant. They require no sealants or waxes
to retain their gloss and ultra-smooth surface. Routine cleaning may be done
with a damp cloth or paper towel and, if necessary, a small amount of
non-bleach, nonabrasive cleanser.

How
well does Zodiaq® withstand heat, scratches and stains?
Zodiaq® is resistant to heat, scratching and staining. However,
the use of trivets or hot pads is always recommended. A cutting board should be
used when slicing or chopping, especially with a serrated knife. Spills should
be wiped up quickly; a nonabrasive cleaning pad and a non-bleach cleaning
product may be used to remove stubborn or dried spills.

Can Zodiaq® and Corian® be
used together?
Yes. A Corian® sink can be installed in a Zodiaq®
countertop, for example. Each material can be inlaid into the other, either
along the edges or on the surfaces, for a dramatic design statement. Just as
both Zodiaq® and Corian® may be combined with other
materials-such as chrome, stainless steel, glass or brass-they can also be
combined with each other.
