The Composition of Emissions from Sanding Corian® with Different Sandpapers by Seungkoo Kang, Huayan Liang, Yong Qian, Chaolong Qi

“…Abstract Laboratory tests were conducted to characterize the composition of emissions from sanding Corian®, a solid-surface composite material mainly composed of alumina trihydrate (ATH) and acrylic polymer. Three sandpaper materials (ceramic, silicon carbide, and aluminum oxide) were tested to distinguish the contribution of aluminum-containing dust in the emission from Corian® and sandpaper itself. …”
