Abstract

A system based on plant or bio-sourced materials selected from among coatings, mortars and concretes of bio-sourced materials comprising a plant or bio-sourced material selected from the group consisting of wood and hemp, and a binder composition comprising a first conventional mineral component and a second component, said system being characterized in that said binder composition has a specific surface area calculated according to the BET method, greater than 10 m 2 /g, preferably greater than 12 m 2 /g, in particular greater than 14 m 2 /g and uses thereof.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system based on plant or bio-sourced materials selected from coatings, mortars and concretes of bio-sourced materials comprising a plant or bio-sourced material selected from the group consisting of wood and hemp, and a binder composition comprising a first mineral component and a second component;
wherein said binder composition has a specific surface area calculated according to the BET method, greater than 10 m 2 /g;
said second component is selected from the group consisting of slaked lime having a specific surface area, calculated according to the BET method, greater than 22 m 2 /g,
and kaolinites, bentonite and wollastonites and mixtures thereof;
wherein said first mineral component is a binder component selected from the group consisting of cements, slaked lime, standard air lime, natural and artificial hydraulic lime, clays, binders for masonry, binders with pozzolanic and hydraulic setting, gypsum and mixtures thereof; and
wherein at least one from among said first mineral component and said second component is based on powdery slaked lime.

2. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component has a specific surface area calculated according to the BET method, greater than 25 m 2 /g.

3. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component has a specific surface area calculated according to the BET method, greater than 27 m 2 /g.

4. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said cement is a common cement.

5. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component is present in an amount of more than 5% by weight and equal or less than 80% by weight, based on the total weight of said binder composition.

6. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component has a total pore volume calculated according to the BJH method with nitrogen desorption greater than or equal to 0.07 cm 3 /g.

7. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component has a total pore volume calculated according to the BJH method with nitrogen desorption greater than or equal to 0.12 cm 3 /g.

8. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component is based on powdery slaked lime.

9. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , wherein said second component is based on powdery slaked lime and has a bulk density measured according to the EN 459-2 standard ranging from 250 to 500 kg/m 3 .

10. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising an air entrainer.

11. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising a water retaining agent selected from the group consisting of cellulose ethers, guar gums, derivatives thereof and mixtures thereof.

12. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising a rheology modifier.

13. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising a hydrophobicizing agent selected from the group consisting of salts of fatty acids, plant and mineral oils, silanes, siloxanes and mixtures thereof.

14. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising an organic binder comprising an industrial lattice selected from the group consisting of lattices based on polyvinyl acetate/ethylene, based on polyvinyl acetate/versatate, and based on styrene/butadiene copolymers.

15. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is in a dry form.

16. The system based on plant or bio-sourced materials according to claim 1 , further comprising water.
