Du Pont is one scientist that we should all be proud of. In the 1960s, he invented the artificial Corian glue. The glue consists of natural stones, 2/3 parts of white clay/aluminum trihydrate (AL(OH)3), methylacrylate and some edible pigments. Methylacrylate provides the stickiness of the glue. Earlier, the natural stones were quiet expensive. They symbolized a state of honor. The artificial glue was cheap. Its popularity thus spread.
When using the Corian glue, the surface of the material must be well polished. The glue is then poured on the surface. It should be spread evenly and made smooth. It is better to cover the article being fixed. The glue will later harden after some time.
The advantages of Corian glue are wide and many. It does not need to to be colored externally. This is because it can be made using different colors and textures. It can be polished using sand paper. Thus, when scratched, it can look new after being polished. It is impermeable to water. It can therefore be used on the counter tops of bathrooms and kitchens.
It can be used on the counter tops of bars, banks, reception desks and swimming pools. It is impermeable to both water and germs. It is therefore very hygienic. It is used in hospitals, surgery rooms and clinics. It can be used for advertising signs that are placed outside. The glue is long lasting. Though artificial, the glue allows the articles to have the beauty of natural stones. Some people use the glue for the decoration of rooms and other parts of the house.
