Material

Schlüter®-ECK-K /-KHK /-KI is made of stainless steel of material no. 1.4301 (V2A), while Schlüter®-ECK-K is also available in stainless steel material no. 1.4404 (V4A). The profiles are produced from steel strips in a roll forming process. The visible areas of the profiles are covered with a protective foil, which is removed after installation.

Material properties and areas of application:

In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of profile must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses.

The profiles Schlüter®-ECK-K /-KHK /-KI made of stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A) as well as the profile Schlüter®-ECK-K, which is also available in stainless steel material 1.4404 (V4A), are particularly suitable for applications that require high mechanical durability and resistance to chemical exposure, for example to acidic or alkaline media or detergents.

Stainless steel is not resistant to all chemical stresses, and may be affected by hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations. Special anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance. Depending on the anticipated chemical stresses, customers can choose between the alloy materials 1.4301 or 1.4404 for the profile Schlüter®-ECK-K.
