Influence of animal glue on mineralogy, strength and weathering resistance of lime plasters
2019
Abstract In order to optimize lime plasters for conservation purposes, the influence of animal glue on the mineralogical evolution, mechanical properties, and weathering resistance was studied. The organic additive caused a decrease in carbonation rate and affected mechanical properties negatively, facilitating the formation of large air bubbles in the plaster matrix. However, the weathering resistance (water spraying/SO2 exposure) improved significantly. The organic additive also reduced crack formation and formed a physical barrier around the calcite crystals, which delayed sulfation. Lime-based composite materials are a valuable alternative to conventional lime plasters, showing improved adherence to the substrate and no significant color changes.
