| Abstract Scope |
Research that aims to develop materials that perform well in addition to being sustainable has been very frequent and important for reducing the impacts suffered by the environment. The ornamental stone industry is an example of a large waste generation activity. Thus, the objective of this work is to develop an artificial stone from 84%wt of granite cutting waste in a matrix of 16%wt of epoxy mixed with cashew nut shell in order to be used as a coating in civil construction. For this, the artificial granite slabs were produced using a methodology using vibration, compression and vacuum and subsequently the were cut to analyzed for their physical and mechanical properties followed by analysis of the fracture region in a scanning electron microscope. It was possible to produce a stone with good properties, better than those stipulated for natural granites, making it possible to use it as a coating. |
