Prototipo de azulejo a base de resina epoxica y residuos generados en el proceso de transformación de la guadua (viruta y aserrín).

Abstract

The project aims to develop a wall covering for bathrooms and kitchens with the (shavings and sawdust) that is generated in the process of transformation of the guadua, in order to reuse waste material. Collecting existing information from companies that produce materials with guadua, a study is opened on the possibilities of creating a new element with the surplus raw material and the description of the current conditions in the application and elaboration of the architectural finishes, competing with the ceramic materials. It seeks to replace the methods used today for different types of finishes, taking into account this determines a material that works for the different designs that the user wants and that requires the protection of moisture resistant products. Taking into account the Colombian Technical Standard on the properties that a coating must follow, and following the recommendations, the implementation of a material that meets the requirements adapted in the quality criteria to achieve a large-scale application, as a priority will be taken to the field of white work and that is part of the construction process of a house.
