Material
Schlüter®-DILEX-AKWS consists of two aluminium side sections with trapezoidperforated anchoring legs, and a centre movement zone made of soft plastic with clamps made of hard plastic.
Material properties and areas of application:
The suitability of a proposed type of pro- file must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical and/or other stresses.
The side sections with anchoring legs are made of aluminium, which is sensitive to alkaline substances. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline. Exposure of the profile to the alkali (depending on the concentration and duration of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation). In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material and that all cavities are filled to prevent the collection of alkaline water.
