SPECIFICATION SHEET Dpto tecnico: otecnica@emac.es Material: Aluminium NOVOCANTO® Aluminium Aluminium profile, designed to protect and decorate the tile, giving strength and lightness of aluminium. Of easy positioning, it is presented in its natural colour, anodized or lacquered in different smooth and decorated colours. PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM ■ Aluminium is, after iron, the metal more used in the world, and, very regularly, used in modern construction too, as it has many technical advantages. ■ Aluminium protects itself forming quickly a thin surface layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) when it to come into contact with the air. This layer is waterproof and stops the process of oxidation, which provides corrosion resistance and durability. This layer can dissolve with citric acid forming aluminium citrate. ■ Aluminium used corresponds to the alloy 6063, according to the European Aluminium Association (Numerical designation L-3441/38-337, according to Spanish Standard UNE 38-301-89). ■ It’s a light, malleable and and very tough material. Its specific mass is 2,70 g/cm3. Easy placement, is presented in its natural colour, lacquered or anodized in various colors and sleek decor. ■ Fire resistance classification as A1 according to the current standard UNE EN 143501-1:2007. This classification corresponds to the class as M0 according to NBE-CPI-96 (in accordance with the previous standard UNE 23727:1990), corresponding to a non-combustible material against the thermal action. ■ Anodizing and lacquering processes that are performed on Novocanto® have Qualanoad and Qualicoat quality labels respectively. The protection and colour provided by the both are stable, smooth and durable, providing an aesthetic appearance and the highest quality finished. Los datos facilitados son meramente informativos.

Thanks to its durability and resistance to corrosion can be placed outdoors without experiencing deterioration as time goes by. The anodized is the most effective means to prevent corrosion of aluminium. With the anode protection, the resistance to corrosion is permanent, although any mechanical damage on the surface that breaks the anodic...

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE After having installed an Aluminium profile, we recommend the immediate cleaning of the fixing material to avoid loss of aspect. PRODUCTS TO AVOID ■ Steel wool, abrasive cleaners and scouring products are not recommended because they could scratch, soil or eliminate the treatment of the Aluminium surface. It is not advisable to use soda, strong acid or alkaline solutions. ■ The natural oxide layer formed on the aluminium is destined to protect it against the corrosion. It can be dissolved with citric acid so do not use cleaners that contain this acid because could...

^ Exterior Applications In practice, the frequency with which structural components exposed to the atmosphere should be cleaned depends on the kind of parts and the aggressiveness of the environment. For exterior applications where the decorative appearance and protective function are particularly important e.g. porches, entrances, shop fronts, etc., weekly cleaning is recommended. In this case, i.e. with regular cleaning, it is possible to use clean water and chamois leather and then, wipe the pieces with a soft dry cloth. It also can be cleaned with a neutral and synthetic cleaning fluid...
