Novocanto® SliMM
Materials
Aluminium
Novocanto® SliMM is a prole made by extrusion of aluminium. The bright gold, matte gold, bright silver
and matte silver nishes have been anodized, improving mainly through this process their corrosion
resistance, mechanical resistance and appearance. The anodized applied has the quality seal Qualanod,
which guarantees the quality of the process and the resulting proles. This seal regulates several tests:
appearance and color, thickness measurements, sealing and impregnation control, abrasion resistance,
lightfastness, acetic saline chamber and nitric acid immersion.
The white nish has been lacquered, obtaining so a high quality and homogeneus surface. The lacquering
has the quality seal Qualicoat, which guarantees the quality of the process and the nal products.
The aluminium is a material with excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight,
tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.
1. Spread a big amount of gripping material on the surface where you are going to place the prole.
2. Place the prole aligned to the corner and press to make the gripping material pass through the
mechanized holes of the xing wing.
3. Place tiles on the xing wing and press to an optimal adhesion.
4. Continue the tiling of the wall.
5. Finally, clean the remaining material, remove the protective lm if necessary and let dry.

The cleaning must be done periodically with a soft cloth. If you use a neutral liquid cleaner, you must
rinse the prole with cold water and dry to remove excess moisture. If dirtiness persists, clean the
prole with a solution with clean water and detergent or neutral soap 5%, brushing with a cloth that
has no particles that could scracht the nish. Ensure the lacquered surface is totally cold (maximum
20ºC) before the cleaning.
Steel wool, abrasive cleaners, souring products as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and
perchloric),strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions are not recommended.
Citric acid is neither recommended because disolves the protective layer of the surface of aluminium.
Waxes, petrolatum, lanolin or similar substances are not appropriate. Solvents containing haloalkanes
(hydrouoroether and chlorinated solvents) and curing accelerators containing chlorides should not be
used (use special accelerators free of chlorides).
Cleaning and maintenance
Zamak
The complementary piece of Novocanto® SliMM is made of Zamak. Zamak is a non ferrous alloy of Zinc
with aluminium, magnesium and copper (UNE EN 1774). It is tough, has high hardness, high mechanical
strength and excellent plastic deformability.
The surface nish applied, protects the prole and is similar to Novocanto® SliMM’s nishes.
