Material
Schlüter-LIPROTEC-LL is available in the following material versions:
Profile:
Diffuser lens:
- PMMA = polymethyl methacrylate
Material properties and areas of application:
In special cases, the suitability of the profile must be verified based on the anticipated chemical and mechanical stresses.
The information provided below is intended as a general guideline.
Schlüter-LIPROTEC-LL (anodised aluminium): The aluminium features an anodised finish that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. Damaged anodised surfaces can be restored with paint. Visible surfaces should be protected against abrasion.
Aluminium 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 (aluminium hydroxide formation).
For this reason, remove mortar or grouting material immediately from all visible areas and do not cover freshly installed coverings with polythene or similar.
Schlüter-LIPROTEC diffuser lenses consist of a lightly structured, translucent thermoplastic PMMA material (polymethyl methacrylate). Alcohol (e.g. rubbing alcohol) or detergents with surfactant content over 5% may cause damage to the diffuser lens.
Note: The profiles with their diffuser lenses must be positioned in such a way that no water can accumulate within the profile.
