Material

Schlüter®-INDEC is available in the following material varieties:

AE = Anodised aluminium
ACG = Polished chrome anodised aluminium

Material properties and areas of application:
In special cases, the suitability of the selected profile type must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses. The information provided below is intended as a general guideline.

Schlüter®-INDEC (anodised aluminum): The aluminum features an anodised surface layer that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. Visible surfaces should be protected against abrasion. Aluminum is sensitive to alkaline media. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline. Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, this may result in corrosion (aluminum hydroxide formation). For this reason, remove mortar or grouting material immediately from all visible areas and do not cover freshly installed coverings with foil. In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material to prevent water from accumulating in small cavities.
