Material

Schlüter®-QUADEC-FS is made of aluminium and is available in a variety of anodised surface finishing options.

Material properties and areas of application
The suitability of Schlüter®-QUADEC-FS must be verified based on the anticipated chemical stresses. Aluminium is sensitive to alkaline media. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture become alkaline. Since aluminium is sensitive to alkaline substances, exposure to the alkali (depending on the concentration and duration of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation).

Therefore, it is important to immediately remove mortar or grout residue from visible surfaces. In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material. Schlüter®-QUADEC-FS profiles have an anodised surface layer that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. The surface must be protected against abrasion.
