Material properties and areas of application

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

The suitability of Schlüter®-RENO-AV, in aluminium, must be verified based on anticipated chemical stresses. Aluminium is sensitive to alkaline substances. Since cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline, prolonged exposure to these materials may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation).

Therefore, adhesive or grout residue must be removed immediately from visible surfaces. Schlüter®-RENO-AEV, in anodised aluminium, features an anodised layer that retains its appearance during normal use. The surface, however, must be protected from abrasion. Adhesive and grout can scratch the surface of the profile; therefore, any residue must be removed immediately. Otherwise, the description regarding aluminium applies.
