We were recently asked by a large leading global manufacturer of acrylic polymer sinks to help them solve an issue of removing light scratches and scores without the need to use harsh abrasives. Having trialled a range of industrial cleaning solutions, applied with a light sponge MYKAL SB4 biodegradable safe solvent produced the best results.

This product is also suitable for use on Corian, the brand name for a solid surface material created by DuPont. It is composed of acrylic polymer and alumina trihydrate (ATH). Its primary use is in kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops and wall cladding in showers. 

Nicks and scratches can be buffed out with a 3M Scotch-Brite / Hermes Webrax Pads or FineNet Abrasive Discs on an orbital pad.

For a full range of products tried and tested on Corian and other solid surface material, including, tapes, adhesives, abrasives and cleaning materials, please feel free to contact us to discuss any of the above applications in more detail. TEL: 01698 748290

J.I.T. Industrial Products are proud to work alongside Hermes as the leading distributor of the company's high calibre products in Scotland. Nigel (our Managing Director) works closely with Hermes in order to solve any abrasive application needs or problems that we come across.

Rather than using a copy and paste approach to abrasives, we set up individual workshops and discuss with our customers any ongoing issues before selecting the most suitable Hermes product for each individual application. As with most products, abrasives have developed considerably and modern day materials which increase yield, reduce time and improve the quality and finish.
