Product catalog summary
Introduction to Polymer Concrete
Polymer concrete is highlighted as an ideal material for outdoor constructions due to its durability and low wear. Unlike traditional cement concrete, it uses reactive resins instead of cement paste, making it environmentally friendly and recyclable.

Material Composition
The primary components of polymer concrete are mineral aggregates bound by polyester resin. This composition allows for recycling at the end of its lifecycle, such as shredding for use as gravel.

Advantages
  • Surface Quality: It offers a perfectly smooth and pore-free surface that remains unchanged over decades, providing a significant quality advantage over cement concrete.
  • Water Absorption: With less than 0.5% water absorption, polymer concrete is frost-proof.
  • Chemical Qualities: It is non-porous with a sealed and capillary-free structure, unlike standard concrete.
  • Ageing Resistance: Components have a life expectancy far exceeding traditional concrete products.
  • Environmental Impact: Being inert, it can be used confidently and recycled as gravel.
  • Weight and Strength: It allows for the manufacture of elements that are 75% lighter than ordinary concrete products, offering significant transport and installation advantages.

Conclusion
Polymer concrete is presented as a superior alternative to traditional concrete, with numerous benefits in terms of durability, environmental impact, and practical application.

Catalog excerpts

Polymer concrete-1

A material without equal Polymer concrete is an ideal material for constructions outdoors. It fulfills the highest requirements in terms of durability and low wear. The production of the material differs from that of cement concrete through the use of reactive resins instead of cement paste. Polymer concrete is environmentally friendly. The essential components of polymer concrete are mineral aggregates that are bound together by polyester resin. This means the polymer concrete can be recycled at the end of its life cycle, for example by shredding for use as gravel.
