Study of the adherence between polymer-modified mortars and porcelain stoneware tiles

Despite the excellent characteristics of porcelain tiles, their application on building facades requires special attention, since this material differs from conventional ceramics and because facades are exposed to weathering that can damage ceramic revetments.

Summary:Despite the excellent characteristics of porcelain tiles, their application on building facades requires special attention, since this material differs from conventional ceramics and because facades are exposed to weathering that can damage ceramic revetments. The combination of polymer and silica fume to produce mortars results in excellent properties, which are ideal for repairs and revetments requiring high performance. Such improvements justify its study for the installation of porcelain tiles. Bond strength results for mortars containing different amounts of polymer and silica indicate the applicability of these mortars as a construction material. To complement this study, the interface between the porcelain and the mortars was analysed by SEM. 11 refs.
