Materials
Aluminium
Novoescocia® S is a prole made by extrusion of aluminium. Its coating improves the corrosion
resistance and provides properties for control of microbial deterioration. All the nishes have 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.
Novoescocia® S
Zamak
The complementary pieces of Novoescocia® S are made of Zamak. The 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 prole and is similar to Novoescocia® S nishes.

Novoescocia® S has a specic covering which protects the initial properties of materials and objects
where its applied, through the control of microbial deterioration. The technology applied to the prole
is a volatile compound resistant to high temperatures. Its ecacy extends along the prole’s life and
doesn’t suffer detriment in its activity because it’s not eliminated through daily cleaning.
Novoescocia® S prevents, on the surface of its prole, the growth and migration of bacteria, fungi,
yeasts and molds, interfering with the gas permeability of the membrane (cellular breathing). In this way,
microorganism lose quickly its ability to grow and reproduce, producing its destruction. The probability
that microorganisms develope resistance to treatment is very low.
Novoescocia® S is effective against a large number of bacteria among which are: Legionella
neumophilia,Escherichia Coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcos Aureus (SARM), Listeria Monocytogenes,
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Streptococcus Faecalis, Vibrio Parahaemolyticus y Enterobacter Aerogenes.
