One of the main problems that often is observed in historical monuments build
with calcareous rock is the degradation caused due to a great variety of
microorganisms as bacteria, lichens and fungi. For this reason, to allow the
long-term preservation of the cultural heritage, it is necessary to developed new
compounds which are biocompatible with the construction material Ist develop a
compound compatible with the calcareous stone, improving its antifungal
activity, it is proposed the use of a novel material which has great potential
capable of eradicating microbial biota degrading rock, called calcium zincate
dehydrate
It is proposed the use of metal oxides that have structural similarity as well as
chemical activity, which has a comparable antifungal activity, the zincate
calcium hydroxide dehydrate Ca[Zn(OH)3]2•2H2O, may be an option, since its
synthesis by a sol-gel method using as precursors ZnO and Ca(OH)2, both
metal oxides have antimicrobial properties4,5. The zincate calcium hydroxide
dihydrate called CZ in this research, was evaluated as a coating in stone
coupons, synthesized by the modified sol-gel route of Gómez-Ortíz et al.
