Zodiaq® is a DuPont product made of 93% quartz. It is non-porous, chemical resistant, and requires no sealants to retain its finish. It is, however, recommended that heat resistent trivets be used on its surface, as well as a cutting board for slicing.  It also comes in a gazillion colors.

It’s now offered as an option for countertop surface from IKEA®, not only an additional option, but a green one, as well. IKEA® also offers wood and laminate surfaces. So good for them on building up their green quotient.
