Schlüter-BARA-RW is available in the following materials:
- AC = colour-coated aluminium
- E = stainless steel V2A, material no. 1.4301 = AISI 304
Material properties and areas of application
BARA-RW-AC (colour coated aluminium): The coil coating of the aluminium profile is colour stable as well as UV- and weather-resistant. Visible surfaces should be protected against abrasion. No water should be allowed to collect in the thin adhesive layer in which the profile is embedded, since alkaline water may corrode the aluminium.
BARA-RW-E is made of roll formed V2A stainless steel (material no. 1.4301). Stainless steel is particularly well suited for applications that, in addition to heavy mechanical stresses, require resistance to chemicals such acidic or alkaline media and detergents. Even stainless steel is not resistant to all chemical stresses, and may be affected by hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations.
In certain cases, this also applies to seawater pools. Special anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance.
