A polyfluorinated compound was studied as a material for the specific protection of calcarenite. Water capillary absorption and vapour permeability measurements were carried out in order to evaluate efficiency as a protective agent. Particular attention was given to characterising its resistance against bio-deterioration induced by microorganisms such as blue and green algae. Chemical surface modifications were induced by UV-irradiation in a specially designed climatic chamber and were investigated through comparative tests on untreated and artificially weathered samples using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This paper discusses the potential use of the compound studied as a specific coating material for the protection of calcarenite. (C) 2001 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS
