7 DISCLAIMER
All information given in this handbook is based on the tests, principles, formulas,
standards and approvals described in this handbook, current as of the date
of publishing (June 2021). It applies only to applications comparable to the
conditions described. Extrapolation of the results to other environments is
not permissible. The selection guidelines and life expectancy information is
based on atmospheric corrosion only, and is intended only as an approximate
guide to assist in initial assessment. Site-specific conditions, including general
corrosion parameters (e.g. temperature, air and water movement, local pollutants,
mechanical abrasion), other forms of corrosion, lifetime requirements, application
criticality, inspection programs and local legal, code or project requirements
can significantly affect the selection process and must always be evaluated.
Significant scatter of values may also occur within the bandwidth of coating /
material performance and environmental parameters applicable to a specific
structure. Full assessment and final selection is the responsibility of the project
specialist or, respectively, the purchaser. This report must be regarded as a unit
and may be passed on to others or copied for further use only in its entirety. As
this information is intended only as a general guideline, Hilti accepts no liability
whatsoever for damage or injury resulting from use of this handbook.
