What is polymer concrete?
Polymer concrete is a versatile, durable, composite material produced by mixing a variety of mineral fillers with a synthetic or natural resin binding agent. This advanced engineering material is used in many industries but is most common in the building and construction industries where its long life and material properties make it ideal for many products.

What are the benefits of polymer concrete?
- High resistance to chemical and biologocal attack
- Lightweight compared to cement concrete products
- Excellent noise and vibration absorption
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Good weathering and UV resistance
- Zero water absorption
- Can be cut with masonry drills and grinders
- Can be recycled as rubble or crushed for use as road foundation
- Approximately 4 times the flexural strength of cement concrete
- Good thermal properties and stability
- Ultra smooth finish which encourages efficient hydraulic flow
