AB [EN] Nowadays the sustainability and safety requirements of structures inspire the study of newself-healing materials and preventive repair methods on cementitious elements. To achieve thisundertaking, this research replaces widely employed synthetic polymers by biodegradable ones asconsolidants and water-repellents, and assesses the protection and consolidation effect of biopolymers(obtained by using waste biomass of mixed microbial cultures from polyhydroxyalkanoates productionprocesses) as eco-friendly healing agents by analysing the water absorption of two kind of materials.The first group of samples are cement mortar specimens whose external surface has been treated withbiopolymer products and subsequently evaluated by water drop absorption test. The second group ofsamples are cement mortar specimens formulated with biopolymer products included in its mixing waterand later the waterproofing efficiency is analysed by capillary water absorption tests. The waterabsorption behaviour of both kind of samples shows a potential improvement of cementitious elementsdurability, since water absorption results have decreased for treated samples in comparison withuntreated ones
