This paper discusses, in a scientific way, the experimental study conducted to investigate the mechanism of adhesion of the mortar coating applied over masonry of ceramic blocks with different basic treatments, namely: (reference 1:3, cement and sand in volume - no cure, 1:3, cement and sand by volume - with healing, 1:3 + SBR additive, cement and sand by volume - no cure, 1:3 + SBR additive, cement and sand by volume - with healing). We adopted three different ages (7, 28 and 120 days) in order to verify the evolution of adhesion over time, both assessments being made on site (in situ) and additional tests in the laboratory. The determination of the tensile bond strength of mortar was facing as a parameter normative NBR 13528 (ABNT, 1995) and the results were subjected to statistical analysis of variance.
Were also analyzed aspects related to the influence of both the pore structure of the plaster as the porous substrate adherence, through the techniques of mercury intrusion porosimetry, porosimetry by desorption of water vapor, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction
Based on the results obtained showed that the basic treatment, the continuous process of healing the lining damp and age are significant factors in bond strength as well, if you choose to use conventional Chapisco (1:3, cement: damp sand by volume), it becomes importantel the continuous process of healing (for a minimum of 48 hours). In case you choose to use the additive Chapisco, this should not be subjected to excessive moisture (moist cure).
