Novocanto® Methacrylate

Product catalog summary

Overview: Novocanto® Methacrylate is a coextruded profile made from PMMA (Methacrylate) and PVC, designed for protecting the edges of ceramic installations. It is particularly suitable for swimming pools due to its durability and resistance to submersion.

General Features: The profile is made of Methacrylate and PVC, with a length of 8ft2in (2.5 m) and available in dimensions of 5/16”, 3/8”, and 1/2” (8, 10, 12 mm). It is packaged in boxes of 100 units.

Applications: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially recommended for swimming pools due to its weatherability and durability.

Technical Features:

Mechanical: Elongation up to break is 2.5 - 5%, Rockwell hardness is 92, tensile modulus is 2400 - 3300 N/mm², and impact resistance is between 16 and 32 J*m-1.
Thermal: Linear thermal expansion coefficient ranges from 70*10-6 to 77*10-6 K-1. Working temperature ranges from -40ºF to 194ºF (-40ºC to 90ºC).
Physical: Density is 1.2 g/cm³, water absorption is less than 0.2%, and it has excellent UV resistance.

Installation Procedure:

Tile one wall and apply thin-set mortar on the other.
Place the Novocanto® on the corner, allowing mortar to pass through anchoring wing holes.
Press tiles along the anchoring wing for optimal adhesion.
Continue tiling and clean excess material.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to mineral/organic acids, chlorides, gasoline, glycerine, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Not resistant to acetic acid, sulfuric acid, ethyl acetate, benzol, butanol, ketones, ethanol, halogens, and methanol. Partially resistant to turpentine, alcohol, detergents, esters, and silicones.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Avoid using steel wool or abrasive products. Clean with soap and water using a smooth cloth. Avoid harmful substances like methanol, ethanol, and organic solvents.

EMAC El toque final Novocanto® Methacrylate Novocanto® Methacrylate is a profile made by coextrusion of PMMA (Methacrylate) and PVC. The surface layer is smooth and easy to clean and has a high gloss. Methacrylate protects the profile when it's installed outdoors, providing it with a high weatherability and excellent durability. This features, makes Novocanto® Methacrylate the ideal opcion for installations in swimming-pools because it doesn't suffer damage when it's installed submerged. General Features Material: Methacrylate (PMMA) + PVC Applications Novocanto® Methacrylate is intended to protect the edges of ceramic installations. Due to its visible side made of Methacrylate, this profile can be installed indoors or outdoors, being especially recommended for its installation as swimming-pool solution, thanks to its excellent features.
