The Science of Building Materials and the Repair of Buildings: Masonry Protection with Silicones
The repair of buildings is a major factor in a country's economy. In Germany alone, each year roughly DM 250 billion is set aside for it. Preservation and repairs account for roughly 60% of all building work there. The conditions obtaining when new buildings are erected differ from those when preservation and repair work are carried out. Whereas with new buildings it is possible to make provision for all technical, physical and chemical needs at the planning stage, there is no such scope for standing buildings. Consequently, there are no made‐to‐measure solutions for building repairs. Each building is different and requires specific measures. These can vary considerably and depend essentially on the type of building, the nature of the building materials used, the use to which the building has been put and its location. This paper is an attempt to shed more light on this complex situation and to show possible outlets for applying organosilicon chemistry to the repair and protection of buildings.
