Building Material Applications for Dynamic Vapor Sorption

The term “building material” covers a large group of different materials such as concrete, plaster, ceramics, wood, materials for thermal insulation as well as paints and varnishes. This heterogeneous group of materials is used in many different areas. Examples are construction, interior design or renovation of buildings. The interaction of these materials with water plays an important role in assessing the suitability of a material for a specific application.
In this context, dynamic water vapor sorption measurements are an effective tool. Results provide helpful information about the material behavior under certain environmental conditions with respect to temperature and humidity. In Research & Development, DVS analyses help to adapt new product formulations. Furthermore, ageing processes can be simulated under accelerated test conditions in order to estimate the durability of a material. In particular for building materials, ProUmid provides large sample dishes as well as a “Large Object-Kit”, a special sample carousel, to allow representative sample sizes and quantities.

Application notes for building material

Building Material - Moisture Sorption of Plaster

Water vapor sorption of plaster

Water vapor sorption behavior of several plaster materials was measured. Measurements were performed in a Vsorp basic using the large sample dishes. Clear differences were found in their sorption behavior. This illustrates the importance of adapting the plaster formulation to the requirements of the intented use.
