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 or mechanical stresses. The information provided below is intended as a general guideline.
Schlüter-LIPROTEC-LLE (anodised aluminium): The aluminium features an anodised finish that retains a uniform appearance during normal use.
Visible edges should be protected against abrasion. Aluminium is sensitive to alkaline media.
Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline, which may result in corrosion depending on the concentration and length of exposure (aluminium hydroxide formation).
Remove adhesive or grout immediately from visible areas and don‘t cover freshly installed assemblies with foil. The profile must be solidly embedded in the setting material to prevent water from accumulating in small cavities.
Schlüter-LIPROTEC-LLE (colour coated aluminium): The aluminium is pre-treated (chrome-plated) and has a polyurethane powder coating. The colour-stable coating is UV- and weather-resistant. Visible edges should be protected against abrasion.
