DuPont™ Zodiaq®, the perfect marriage of science and style.
The perfect marriage of science and style, DuPont™ Zodiaq® quartz surfaces, is an ideal surface for both residential and commercial applications. Comprised of 93% pure quartz crystals, these surfaces combine the very best of nature with advanced DuPont™ polymer technology to create a sophisticated surface that's as beautiful as it is durable, with brilliant colors, a unique depth of color, as well as a subtle sparkle. There is no need to search miles and miles of granite yards for just the right slab, since Zodiaq® quartz surfaces offer incredible consistency in both color and pattern.
Inspired by the latest design and cultural trends.
Taking their inspiration from the latest design and cultural trends, Zodiaq® offers an extensive palette of over 45 colors that range from soft neutral tones to intense reds, blues and whites: colors that are seldom found in natural stone. And, DuPont™ continues to add new colors to their offering, including the exclusive OKITE® Collection, where dramatic movement and random veining let you step out of the mainstream and into the unconventionally natural. These four colors feature intricately marbled textures with aesthetics that are both comforting and exotic at the same time.

- Licorice, a dark, almost black quartz base with a subtle texture created by a mixed selection of recycled glass .
- Calm Springs, a medium gray color with a hint of blue and a deeply layered effect created by clear recycled glass particles,
Warm Taupe, a deep warm mocha brown color with a subtle texture created by brown recycled glass particles,- Mossy Green, a light sage color warmed by brown recycled glass particles in a subtle texture and,
- Moroccan Morning, a warm golden sandstone color with a subtle texture created by clear recycled glass particles.
Not only are these colors beautiful on the outside, with a minimum of 25% post-consumer recycled content these environmentally responsible colors are beautiful on the inside too!

NEW Wide Slab Zodiaq!
Zodiaq® is available in two thicknesses: ¾ inch (2cm) or 11/8 inch (3cm). Until recently, 80% of the colors of Zodiaq® were produced in a regular slab size (measuring 52" wide x 118" long), however as of 2010, all of the regular sized slabs are transitioning into a wide slab size of 63" wide x 120" long. Wide slab sizes offer excellent benefits including increased design flexibility; reduced material handling and increased sustainability benefits due to the improved material yield.
Large Slab (LS) sizes (Okite® Series) measuring 55" wide x 120" long will continue to be produced and stocked. Zodiaq® is well suited for both horizontal and vertical applications, where long expanses and limited seaming is preferred.
Energizing the Zodiaq® Color Palette.
With the 2011 new color launch, DuPont™ has energized their standard color offering, allowing for the most innovative aesthetics to be showcased in their color palette. At the same time, Butler-Johnson has revamped the current price tiers into three groups, allowing for a much easier pricing program. The Advantage Palette (Group A) features Abyss Black, Antique Pearl and Vela Brown. The Broad Palette (Group B) contains 35 colors including the five new colors for 2011, Caraway, Chicory, Coarse Pepper, Poppy Seed and Sage, and the Collections Palette (Group C) showcases the eight colors of the Terra Collection and the two colors of the Private Collection.

Three to four times stronger than natural stone.
Zodiaq® has superior strength and durability. Because of it's high quartz content, one of the hardest minerals found in nature, Zodiaq® is three to four times stronger than most natural countertop materials. While quartz is principally responsible for the hardness and durability of Zodiaq®, the story doesn't end there. The advanced DuPont™ polymer technology used to bind the quartz crystals together provides a flexural strength that natural stone just can't match. The polymer makes Zodiaq® less brittle, less likely to be damaged during manufacturing or shipping and there is no need for reinforcing rods or to seam around sinks.
Certified for use in commercial kitchens.
Zodiaq® has a dense, smooth, nonporous surface. Food and household products such as red wine, vinegar, lemon juice, soda, mustard, ketchup, coffee, tea, nail polish and hair dyes will not stain or harm the surface, so Zodiaq® will stay looking great for many years to come. Zodiaq® will not support the growth of mold, mildew or bacteria, a distinct advantage over natural stone and it does not require any sealing, waxing or polishing. When specifying Zodiaq® for use in the food service segment, Zodiaq® is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF/ANSI Standard 51) for food contact, which means that commercial kitchens can prepare food for public consumption directly on Zodiaq® surfaces. Zodiaq® is also certified as a Kosher surface.
Respect and care for the environment.
DuPont™ is committed to conducting its business with respect and care for the environment and to producing products that make a difference in people's lives. Due to its low VOC emissions, DuPont™ Zodiaq® and its adhesive systems are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified®, have received GREENGUARD for Children and Schools CertificationSM and have been independently verified to meet the standards set by California's South Coast and Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
