What is Polymer Concrete?
Polymer concrete is made from selectively-graded aggregates in combination with a polymer resin system. When combined though a Process of mixing, molding and curing, an extremely powerful cross- linked bond is formed. Precast polymer concrete is reinforced with fiberglass for exceptional strength and rigidity. Why Use Polymer Concrete? • Lightweight – 1/10 to 1/3 the weight of concrete • High Strength – compressive, flexural and tensile strengths three to five times higher than traditional concrete • Reduced Installation Costs – easy to handle, no special equipment required • Stable Under Freeze / Thaw Conditions • Impact Resistant – tested per ASTM D-2444 • Low Water Absorption – less than 1% per ASTM D570 • Corrosion Resistant – resistant to alkalines, acids, weathering and other forms of deterioration • Cost Effective – outperforms conventional materials for longer service and lower life cycle costs • Nonflammable – will not support combustion • Nonconductive – no grounding required
