Acrylic solid surface

A cast composite of PMMA acrylic resin and aluminium trihydrate (ATH). Homogeneous through its full thickness, non-porous, repairable. The base material for worktops, sink areas, façades, reception desks and healthcare furniture.

Composition

What the sheet
is made of

Four groups of components. None of them contains styrene — this is what separates acrylic solid surface from modified polyester stone, which looks much the same from the outside.

Components of LISTACRYL solid surface: acrylic resin, aluminium trihydrate, catalyst and pigments
Acrylic resin (PMMA)
The binder. Responsible for translucency of the mass, UV stability and repairability.
Aluminium trihydrate (ATH)
Mineral filler derived from bauxite. Gives hardness, suppresses combustion and prevents fading.
Catalyst and cross-linkers
Drive polymerisation and set the final polymer network.
Pigments and decorative chips
Colour to the RAL palette and the pattern of the mass, from solid tones to coarse-particle decors.

Comparison

Acrylic versus polyester

A large share of what is sold as cast stone in Russia is poured on modified polyester resin with styrene. It looks similar and behaves differently.

Fabrication

What you can do
with the sheet

The material is worked with standard woodworking and routing tools. Below is the usual route from sheet to finished piece.

Step 01

Cutting

Panel saw or CNC router with carbide tooling. Keep inside corners radiused, R10 minimum, so the part does not collect stress.

Step 02

Routing and edging

Edge profiles, cut-outs for sinks and hobs, 3D engraving. Feed rate follows the thickness.

Step 03

Bonding

Two-component acrylic adhesive matched to the sheet colour. The joint is sanded flush and becomes visually indistinguishable — this is what a seamless surface means.

Step 04

Thermoforming

Heat until the mass softens, then form in a mould. The acrylic matrix takes deep draws without whitening or crazing.

Step 05

Sanding and finish

Matte, satin or polished — it is a question of the final abrasive grit. Years later the same method restores the surface.

Step 06

Installation

Mount on a prepared substrate with room for thermal movement, bond the seams. Local damage is repaired in place.

History

Where solid surface
came from

The material is more than half a century old. The Russian line continues that history rather than copying it.

1963–1967

Prototype and the DuPont patent

A research team in Buffalo mixed the first sample of a hard surface in an old Hobart household dough mixer. DuPont patented the material in 1967; the market knows it as Corian.

1970

Switching to aluminium trihydrate

Replacing calcium carbonate with bauxite-derived ATH removed fading, added acid resistance and opened up the colour palette.

1988

The market opens

The patent expired and the industry grew to roughly twenty major producers: Hanex, LG Hi-Macs, Krion, Staron and others.

Today

The Russian line

LISTACRYL is a full-cycle plant in Kirishi: in-house formulations, a laboratory on site, palettes built for local interiors, and ADC as our own development.
