THERMAL INSULATION REPAIR LIME PLASTER WITH PERLITE - FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS AND SALT CRYSTALLIZATION RESISTANCE
Abstract
The aim of the presented work was to develop and evaluate the novel thermal insulation plaster intended for repair and renovation application. The thermal parameters of the reference lime plaster were enhanced with the substitution of 50 vol. % of silica sand with expanded perlite. The hardened plasters were characterized by their specific density, bulk density, total open porosity, compressive strength, flexural strength, and dynamic modulus of elasticity. The thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity were investigated as well. As the studied plasters should find use in repair of salt-laden masonry, the specific attention was paid to the assessment of their durability in terms of resistance to salt damage. Plasters were subjected to the accelerated laboratory salt crystallization test that consisted of ten wetting/drying cycles, where the used salt was sodium chloride. For comparison, the same process was performed with distilled water. The salt crystallization resistance was evaluated using the photographical observations and the measurement of the residual compressive strength. The results obtained showed that the use of expanded perlite allows the development of the lightweight repair plaster with sufficient mechanical parameters and improved thermal insulation properties. Moreover, the high porosity of lime-perlite plaster has contributed to its great durability against salt crystallization.
