Schlüter-DILEX-AKWS comprises two lateral aluminium carrier profiles with perforated anchoring legs. The movement zone consists of soft thermoplastic rubber with inserts made of a harder material.
Material properties and areas of application
The suitability of a proposed profile type must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical and/or other stresses.
The lateral aluminium anchoring legs are 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 time of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation). In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material.
