| Abstract | The expression stone materials is referred here both to natural stones as well as to artificial stones such as mortars used for plasters, etc. Stone materials are characterized by the following main properties: a prevalent or exclusive mineral-inorganic nature; hydrophilic properties. Both these aspects are very important when planning treatments for their conservation and have never to be forgotten. When possible mechanisms of damage are considered as respect to stone materials, two main categories have to be mentioned: acid attack (caused by rains and humidity condense in polluted urban atmospheres); soluble salts cyclic crystallization. The first mechanism (acids) induces corrosion to carbonatic materials such as calcium and/or magnesium carbonates based stones while silicatic stones are only poorly affected. The second mechanism (salts) is mainly active towards porous stones, independently of their nature. Less important is the effect towards compact low porosity stones. Decay |
