This article is dedicated to the use of unburnt clay, specifically as a material to produce clay plaster and they stabilization via polymers. The main goal is to enhance the attributes of a clay plaster through the stabilization of various polymers, alternatively by combining the polymer with hydrophobization in different ratios. Stabilization is particularly important for exterior plasters, as they are the most exposed to water. To compare the characteristics, the mixtures were tested for water resistance, water vapor permeability, flexural tensive strength and compressive strength.
