In Brazil, ceramic plates are widely used in the construction industry for both small and large constructions in view of their advantages compared with other coating systems [1]. These advantages include ease of maintenance, durability, impermeability, and ease of cleaning. Despite these favorable characteristics, problems occur due to aging of a building. The most common of these problems is the loss of adhesion of ceramic tiles with facades [2]. It is commonly observed that after a few years of use the plates begin to loosen, thereby endangering individuals and properties.
