Repair mortars based on lime. Accelerated aging tests

Abstract

The behaviour under different accelerated aging tests (freeze/thaw and crystallization cycles) of a new lime mortar with biocide properties destinated to monumental repair has been studied. New mortars (which have the biocide impregnated in a clay called sepiolite) have a similar behaviour to lime mortars used as a reference. After the aging tests, the biocide properties of the mortars have been tried.
