<description>In accordance with the European politics of reducing the amount of polymers and plastics wastes,&#xd;
the inclusion of compounds such as roof wastes as recycled and reusable materials to replace&#xd;
variable amounts of aggregates is interesting in the production of new construction materials due&#xd;
to their physical and chemical behaviour.&#xd;
Prefabricated mortar blocks have made with Portland cement, sand, water and grinded roof&#xd;
polyurethane based wastes from the automobile industry that replace in different amounts part or&#xd;
all of the aggregates. To try to avoid the mechanical resistance limitation due to the use of roof&#xd;
wastes, the chemical properties of the binders have been modified with non-ionic surfactants that&#xd;
improve the effect on the hydration of the clinker. This variation produces an important change in&#xd;
the mechanical resistance to achieve recycled structural materials with a density between 18.7%&#xd;
and 62.7% lower compared to conventional lightweight mortars. In addition, these surfactants&#xd;
improve other properties including workability, compaction of the matrix, prevent the disintegration of the particles and help to improve the mechanical properties and durability against fire&#xd;
to reinforce the materials.&#xd;
These eco-mortars have a good behaviour against temperature of the final envelope, measured&#xd;
in terms of non-combustibility test. With these results, the use of roof wastes can be consider as a&#xd;
sustainable alternative to the materials currently used and then with them we can be able to&#xd;
contribute to a more ecological business model in the building sector.</description>
