The consolidation of materials concept, which consists of introducing a chemical substance (consolidant) into degraded stone, has been applied to architectural conservation. Silicon compounds such as tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) are frequently used as a base for commercial consolidant formulations due to their ability to form a siloxane polymer such as SiO 2 . However, the silica xerogels deposited into the stone show poor performance and the gels obtained are non-porous and tend to crack during the drying stage. In order to avoid the fractures and to improve gel properties, we propose the synthesis of a hybrid consolidant based on TEOS and fillers such as colloidal silica (200 nm in diameter) and hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-OH). Both additives enhance gel properties such as porosity and elasticity, leading to the formation of non-fractured and permeable gels. Characterization of the hybrid xerogel was carried out by nitrogen adsorption and 29 Si MAS-NMR. The properties of the hybrid xerogels were compared with those prepared from a formulation based on TEOS (T-ME) with a composition similar to a commercial product. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the hybrid consolidant, it was applied to tuff-stone of historical monuments in the city of Guanajuato, Mexico. The tuff-stone was also treated with the formulation T-ME. Both treatments were studied by determining the percentage of consolidant deposited, evaluating changes in porosity and hardness of the treated stone. The applicability of the hybrid consolidant for the decayed tuff-stone is under study.
