Clean the grates and profiles using common
household cleaning agents. Stainless steel
exposed to the environment or aggressive
substances should be cleaned periodically
using a mild household cleaner. Regular
cleaning maintains the neat appearance
of stainless steel and reduces the risk of
corrosion. All cleaning agents must be free of
hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid. Stainless
steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated
with a chrome-polishing agent. Do not use
abrasive or alkaline cleaning agents.
Adhesive/Sealant
Any protrusions through the KERDI
membrane can be treated with KERDI-
FIX, or equivalent sealant, to ensure a fully
waterproof assembly.
Application and Function
8.3 Schluter
®
-KERDI-FIX is a single-
component, waterproof sealing and
bonding compound with a silane-modified
polymer base, which can be used in various
applications. In conjunction with KERDI,
KERDI-FIX can be used to waterproof pipe
and valve protrusions in the Schluter
®
-
Shower System. KERDI-FIX is used to
bond the KERDI membrane to the stainless
steel KERDI-DRAIN bonding flange.
KERDI-FIX can also be used to bond KERDI
to building elements such as bathtubs,
window elements and door frames.
Material Properties and
Areas of Application
KERDI-FIX has been independently tested
to determine VOC emissions per California
Specification 01350: “Standard Practice for
the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions
from Various Sources Using Small-Scale
Environmental Chambers”, found to emit
zero VOCs, and can contribute towards
achieving the following green building
