The renovation of buildings is a growing part of the native building industry. Several causes of
degradation have to be mentioned when speaking about damage to buildings, especially to its masonry. One
of them is the capillary rising moisture, which can be avoided by building up subsequent horizontal moisture
barriers. Paraffin-wax is used in this case by filling the open pores of the building material. This study deals in
particular with the research and description of the injection of paraffin-wax and its influence on the porosity and
pore-size distribution of different building materials. (book and CD)
