Schlüter-ECK-E is available in the following materials:
- E = stainless steel
- V2A, material no. 1.4301 = AISI 304
- V4A, material no. 1.4404 = AISI 316L
The visible surfaces of the profile are covered with a protective film.
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.
ECK-E is made of roll formed V2A (material no. 1.4301) or V4A (material no. 1.4404) stainless steel. ECK-E is highly durable and especially suited for application areas that must be resistant to chemicals and acids, such as the food industry, breweries, dairies, industrial kitchens and hospitals as well as private residences.
Depending on the anticipated stresses, customers can choose between the alloy materials 1.4301 (V2A) or 1.4404 (V4A). The use of V4A is recommended if consistent exposure is expected, for example in the case of swimming pools (fresh water).
Even stainless steel of quality V4A is not resistant to all chemical stresses such as hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations.
In certain cases, this also applies to seawater pools. The anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance.
