Materials
Aluminum
Novolistel® 3 is a prole made by extrusion of aluminum. Anodizing improves the corrosion resistance,
mechanical resistance and appearance of proles. It 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 lacquered nishes have 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 natural nish has no surface treatment so is less resistant to corrosion and scratching. It is not
recommended installing natural nishes without the application of an additional protection.
Aluminum has excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight, tough, ductile,
malleable and highly durable
Zamak
The complementary pieces of Novolistel® 3 are 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 Novolistel® 3’s nishes. We do not re-
commend installing natural nishes without aplying additional protection.
*Anodized aluminum
Alloy: 6063 (AA and ASTM)
L-3441 (UNE 38-301-89)
Fire resistance: M0 (UNE 23-727-90)
Abrasion resistance*: Very good
Lightfastness*: Excellent

Complementary pieces
Novolistel® 3 has complementary pieces available made of Zamak to get a perfect nish.
These pieces can be installed to nish two or three proles both in horizontal installations as in verti-
cal ones.
