Abstract

Abstract Based on historic documents, two lime-based paint formulations were produced in laboratory in order to evaluate their basic characteristics as restoration materials for historic buildings with lime-based components. The paints were made basically with hydrated lime, clay, water and linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) oil, and one formulation had PVA (polyvinyl acetate)-based glue as fixative, and the other one, Couma guianensis' latex. Each paint component was characterized by XRD and FTIR, and color and specular gloss measurements were performed on both paints. A preliminary assessment of the paints was conducted using the Pipe Method, the salt crystallization test, visual analysis for dustiness, and analysis of microbiological growth. The results showed that the laboratory-produced paints are theoretically and technologically compatible with lime-based coatings, however, their superficial performance can be improved to achieve greater durability. This study also brings to light local materials from the Amazon region that have great potential to be used and recognized as raw materials for paints and which could also be investigated for other uses.Resumo Com base em referências históricas, foram produzidas em laboratório duas formulações de tinta à base de cal objetivando avaliar suas características para o restauro de edificações com argamassas e pinturas à base de cal. Os materiais utilizados nas tintas foram cal hidratada, argila, água e óleo de linhaça (Linum usitatissimum L.), sendo uma formulação com cola PVA (acetato de polivinila) e outra com látex da sorveira (Couma guianensis) como aditivos fixadores. Cada componente da tinta foi caracterizado por meio de DRX e FTIR, e foram realizadas aferições de colorimetria e brilho. A avaliação das tintas ocorreu por meio das análises de permeabilidade pelo método do cachimbo e análise visual de pulverulência e de colonização microbiológica. Os resultados mostraram que as tintas produzidas são materiais de restauro compatíveis teórica e tecnologicamente com revestimentos à base de cal, mas cujo desempenho superficial é passível de melhoramentos, especialmente no sentido do aumento de sua durabilidade. A pesquisa também revela materiais próprios da região amazônica com grande potencialidade, tanto para estudos mais aprofundados, como para seu reconhecimento como matérias-primas de tintas.
