What Is Polymer
Concrete?
Polymer concrete is made from selectively-graded
aggregates in combination with a polymer resin system. When
combined through 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 D-570
- 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 for the box or cover
