SantopreneÂ® Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) is an injection moldable rubber type material. SantopreneÂ® is generally used in applications that require a flexible material but, limited chemical resistance. The most common color of the raw material is black; other colors are available with special orders. This material, in its natural state, is lighter than water, meaning SantopreneÂ® balls float in water.
While granite is unlikely to ever go out of style, the choice for countertop surfaces extends far beyond granite and includes synthetic surfaces like Corian, natural rocks like marble, and engineered quartz like Silestone. Granite, a natural rock, is extremely hard and durable, despite being porous. Corian is a homogenous, nonporous surface that is manufactured by DuPont; it is stain resistant and available in over 100 different colors. This comparison examines the differences between granite and Corian in terms of cost, durability, appearance, maintenance required, installation and other pros and cons.
