Members of the SICon research group and UFV researchers from the Departments of Civil Engineering, Soil, Chemistry, and Physics published an article in Journal “Construction and Building Materials”.
The article is entitled: “Research into the use of marble waste as mineral filler in soil pigment-based paints and as an active pigment in waterborne paints” and is part of the volume 241 of the April 2020 issue of the journal “Construction and Building Materials”.
The authors of the article are: Deise Mara Garcia Alves Tressmann, Leonardo Gonçalves Pedroti, Anôr Fiorini De Carvalho, José Carlos Lopes Ribeiro, Fernando De Paula Cardoso, Márcia Maria Salgado Lopes, André Fernando de Oliveira, Sukarno Olavo Ferreira.The group is composed of researchers from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), including the Departments of Civil Engineering, Soil, Chemistry and Physics.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of untreated marble processing waste as an active pigment in building paint enables a product to be developed that meets the specifications, and whether the performance of soil pigment-based paints can be improved by incorporating marble processing waste as a mineral filler.
