Lubelli, B. Van Hees, R.P.J. Rodriguez-Navarro, C. Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architectural Engineering +Technology Date 2014-05-28 Abstract The use of crystallization modifiers for the prevention or mitigation of salt crystallization damage has recently received a lot of research interest in the field of building conservation. However, the use of crystallization modifiers mixed in a lime-based mortar, is still a very new field of research. This paper summarizes the literature study aimed at the identification of a possible modifier for sodium sulfate, one of the most damaging salts found in porous building materials. Furthermore, the results of preliminary experiments conducted in order to test the suitability of borax as a crystallization modifier for sodium sulfate are reported and discussed.
