Description

       

  Procédé de traitement d'un objet en terre cuite    La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé  de traitement d'un objet en terre cuite, notamment  d'une brique, destiné à éviter les     efflorescences    à la  surface de cet objet.  



  On connaît déjà certains procédés dont le but est  d'éviter les     efflorescences    se produisant à la     surface     des briques ou des tuiles. Ces procédés consistent,  en général, à imprégner de silicone la surface de  l'objet sur laquelle on désire éviter les     efflorescences.     Ces procédés ne donnent toutefois pas entière satis  faction, car dans le cas d'un mur de briques nues  exposé à la pluie par un vent violent, par exemple,  la pression de l'eau contre le mur est parfois suffi  sante pour franchir la barrière hydrofuge constituée  par les silicones, de sorte que l'intérieur de la bri  que se mouille.

   Si le mur est ensuite chauffé assez  fortement pendant qu'il est encore humide, par  exemple par le soleil qui peut suivre un orage d'été,  ou encore par une installation de chauffage se trou  vant dans une habitation, l'eau qui est contenue dans  le mur se réchauffe également et sa tension de vapeur  est suffisante pour lui faire traverser de nouveau en  sens inverse la barrière hydrofuge de la couche à  base de silicone.

   Cette eau entraîne les sels solubles,  en général des sulfates, qu'on trouve fréquemment  dans les objets de terre cuite, et ces sels se cristalli  sent sur la surface du mur donnant ainsi naissance à  des     efflorescences.    Il y a lieu de remarquer que lors  qu'un mur imprégné d'humidité et traité en surface  par un produit à base de silicone peut sécher lente  ment, l'humidité du mur est évacuée par les surfaces  non imprégnées, par exemple les surfaces à l'inté  rieur de l'habitation, de sorte qu'il n'apparaît pas  d'efflorescences sur les surfaces imprégnées.  



  La présente invention a pour but de remédier  à l'inconvénient cité ci-dessus. Elle a pour objet un  procédé de traitement d'un objet en terre cuite,    notamment     d'une    brique, caractérisé en ce qu'on       immerge    l'objet dans un bain à base de     silicone    pen  dant un temps suffisant pour que le bain imbibe  complètement l'intérieur de l'objet.  



  Pour la mise en     oeuvre    du procédé, il est avan  tageux d'immerger l'objet en terre cuite dans le bain       immédiatement    après la cuisson de l'objet. En effet,  à la sortie du four, l'objet en terre cuite ne contient  plus de trace d'humidité, en sorte que l'imprégnation  en silicone est bien homogène dans la masse de l'ob  jet. En effet, si on traitait un objet déjà humide,  son humidité intérieure s'opposerait à la pénétration  du bain dans toute sa masse, de sorte qu'il resterait  à l'intérieur de l'objet une ou plusieurs zones non       imprégnées    de     silicone.     



  En pratique, il est avantageux d'utiliser un bain  constitué par une solution aqueuse d'un     siliconate          alcalin.    Les     siliconates        alcalins    qu'on trouve couram  ment dans le commerce sont, en général, à base de  soude caustique ou de potasse caustique.  



  Lorsque l'objet en terre cuite est une brique, il  est nécessaire que le traitement qu'on lui fait subir  ne diminue pas sensiblement l'adhérence du mortier  ou du ciment sur la brique. Pour cette raison, il  faut éviter que le bain ait une trop forte teneur en  silicone. On a obtenu de très bons résultats en cons  tituant un bain formé par une solution aqueuse de  0,2 jusqu'à 1 % d'un     siliconate    connu dans le com  merce sous la marque     siliconate    50 K, de l'usine       Rhône-Poulenc.    Comme ce     siliconate    a une teneur  en matières sèches de 45 %, la teneur en matières  sèches du bain doit donc être comprise entre 0,1 et  0,5 % environ en poids.

   Suivant l'effet désiré, on  choisira la teneur la plus appropriée, les teneurs fai  bles assurant une prise du mortier excellente, mais  une hydrofugation moins poussée que les teneurs  plus fortes.      Pour éviter que l'air ne reste emprisonné dans  l'objet en terre cuite pendant son immersion dans  le bain, il est avantageux de plonger l'objet progres  sivement dans le bain et à une vitesse suffisamment  lente pour permettre l'échappement de l'air empri  sonné dans les porosités de la terre cuite. Le traite  ment des briques peut, par exemple, être effectué au  moyen d'un tapis roulant s'enfonçant progressivement  dans un bain, ce qui permet de traiter les briques de  façon continue à la sortie du four.  



  L'imprégnation des briques est accompagnée en  core d'un autre avantage, car les silicones agissent  également sur les grains de chaux qu'on trouve fré  quemment dans les briques et empêchent ces derniers  de réagir ensuite avec l'anhydride carbonique contenu  dans l'air et donc de faire éclater des petites parties  de la brique.  



  Après le bain, les objets en terre cuite doivent  être séchés de façon aussi complète que possible.  Pour obtenir un bon séchage, il faut laisser les objets  entreposés pendant huit jours environ dans un endroit  à l'abri de l'humidité.  



  Il est bien entendu que le procédé décrit peut  être appliqué à d'autres objets que des briques et  qu'il est avantageux chaque fois qu'on désire éviter  l'apparition     d'efflorescences    à la surface d'objets  quelconques en terre cuite, par exemple des tuiles,  des hourdis, des poteries ou des objets d'art.



  Process for treating a terracotta object The present invention relates to a process for treating a terracotta object, in particular a brick, intended to prevent efflorescence on the surface of this object.



  Certain processes are already known, the aim of which is to prevent efflorescence occurring on the surface of bricks or tiles. These methods generally consist in impregnating the surface of the object on which it is desired to avoid efflorescence with silicone. However, these procedures are not entirely satisfactory, because in the case of a bare brick wall exposed to rain by a strong wind, for example, the pressure of the water against the wall is sometimes sufficient to cross the barrier. water repellent formed by silicones, so that the inside of the bri que gets wet.

   If the wall is then heated quite strongly while it is still humid, for example by the sun which can follow a summer storm, or even by a heating installation in a dwelling, the water which is contained in the wall also heats up and its vapor pressure is sufficient to make it cross again in the reverse direction the water-repellent barrier of the silicone-based layer.

   This water entrains the soluble salts, generally sulphates, which are frequently found in terracotta objects, and these salts crystallize on the surface of the wall, giving rise to efflorescence. It should be noted that while a wall impregnated with humidity and surface treated with a silicone-based product can dry slowly, the humidity in the wall is carried away by non-impregnated surfaces, for example surfaces with inside the house, so that no efflorescence appears on the impregnated surfaces.



  The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawback mentioned above. It relates to a method of treating a terracotta object, in particular a brick, characterized in that the object is immersed in a silicone-based bath for a sufficient time for the bath to completely soak. inside the object.



  For the implementation of the method, it is advantageous to immerse the terracotta object in the bath immediately after firing the object. Indeed, on leaving the oven, the terracotta object no longer contains any trace of moisture, so that the silicone impregnation is very homogeneous in the mass of the object. Indeed, if we treated an already wet object, its interior moisture would oppose the penetration of the bath in its entire mass, so that there would remain inside the object one or more areas not impregnated with silicone.



  In practice, it is advantageous to use a bath consisting of an aqueous solution of an alkaline siliconate. The alkali siliconates which are commonly found in commerce are generally based on caustic soda or caustic potash.



  When the terracotta object is a brick, it is necessary that the treatment to which it is subjected does not appreciably decrease the adhesion of the mortar or the cement on the brick. For this reason, it is necessary to avoid that the bath has too high a silicone content. Very good results have been obtained by constituting a bath formed by an aqueous solution of 0.2 to 1% of a siliconate known in the trade under the trademark siliconate 50 K, from the Rhone-Poulenc plant. As this siliconate has a dry matter content of 45%, the dry matter content of the bath must therefore be between 0.1 and 0.5% approximately by weight.

   Depending on the desired effect, the most appropriate content will be chosen, the low contents ensuring excellent setting of the mortar, but less water repellency than the higher contents. In order to prevent air from remaining trapped in the terracotta object during its immersion in the bath, it is advantageous to immerse the object gradually in the bath and at a sufficiently slow speed to allow the escape of the water. air trapped in the porosities of the terracotta. The treatment of the bricks can, for example, be carried out by means of a conveyor belt gradually sinking into a bath, which allows the bricks to be treated continuously on leaving the furnace.



  The impregnation of the bricks is accompanied by yet another advantage, because the silicones also act on the grains of lime which are frequently found in the bricks and prevent the latter from subsequently reacting with the carbon dioxide contained in the bricks. air and thus burst small parts of the brick.



  After bathing, terracotta items should be dried as thoroughly as possible. To obtain a good drying, it is necessary to leave the objects stored for about eight days in a place protected from humidity.



  It is understood that the method described can be applied to objects other than bricks and that it is advantageous whenever it is desired to avoid the appearance of efflorescences on the surface of any terracotta objects, for example example tiles, slabs, pottery or works of art.
