In other words, instead of cement or silicate used polyester, and epoxy resin. These components are replaced either partially or completely.

In the manufacture of polymer often use such polymers, as epoxies, acrylics, styrene butadiene resins, vinyl urethanes and others.

Advantages of polymer concrete

The main advantages of this material include:

1) durability;

2) strength - polymer concrete is much stronger than conventional concrete;

3) the ability to effectively withstand chemical substances - there is also observed a significant superiority over conventional concrete material;

4) Excellent adhesiveness to old concrete.

The polymers may be combined with concrete in several ways, depending on what you want to achieve. They may be protected using a material, impregnate, change and so on. Polymers may also act as coupling elements.

This material (polymer concrete) in demand in the manufacture of products for the home, garden, etc.

Polymer used for the production of many well-known to all products, such as:

1) art garden items - waterfalls, fountains and other similar structures;

2) paving tiles;

Polymer concrete in modern construction

From this material often create self-leveling floors. It is also indispensable for puttying and priming surfaces.

The presence of the polymer concrete of good quality of the glue allows you to restore the old structures of different types of concrete.

Good corrosion resistance and low transmittance provide indispensable material in the construction of sewer systems, pools, and drainage canals.

Polymer prevalence is still inferior to the usual cement concrete. This is explained by the complexity and cost of production. However, as technologies improve, polymer concrete is getting cheaper, so that the range of products from it is constantly expanding.
