Abstract
The characterization of ornamental rocks has the purpose of predicting the behavior of the rocks when exposed to various requests present in their place of application, seeking to know the feasibility of using the material. The objective of this work is to analyze the staining of the rocks after variations in exposure times. Four types of rocks were selected for the test: Dallas White, São Gabriel Black, Castelo Grey, and Siena White. The staining agents chosen were: lemon, oil, coffee, steel sponge and detergent, bleach, and degreaser. As a result, it was noticed that the stains caused were more evident and accentuated as the time of exposure of the rocks to the staining agents increased, developing more accentuated and permanent stains.
