Commercially available macroporous and hydraulic sacrificial plasters : an evaluation with respect to salt reduction on local limestone

Abstract

This dissertation is an investigation of salt reduction on Globigerina Limestone as the local building stone. Research has been carried out on pre-mix macroporous plasters and a selected hydraulic lime based sacrificial plaster. The aim was to characterise the individual pre-mix macroporous layers individually, so as to start increasing locally the knowledge about these marcoporous products.
