Question from Bonnie Johnson

Hi,

My remodeler wants to check into something called LG Hi-Macs for the counter tops in the kitchen.

Anyone with experience with this product? They sell it at Lowes and I am trying to stay ahead of all these projects before they start to stay well.

The man at Lowes said it was non toxic compared to Corian.

Debra’s Answer

There are four different Hi-Macs products, so I’m not sure which one you are referring to.

This is a solid acrylic plastic countertop. Their MSDS indicates no toxicity of the finished product, but I personally am skeptical about acrylic because I have read elsewhere that acrylic IS toxic.

Anyone have experience with this product?
