Polymer concrete is a type of concrete that uses a polymer to replace lime-type cements as a binder. One specific type is epoxy granite, where the polymer used is exclusively epoxy. In some cases the polymer is used in addition to portland cement to form Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) or Polymer Modified Concrete (PMC). [1]

Apr 18, 2017 · Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC): This concrete is produced by integrating an emulsion of polymer or monomer in portland cement concrete. The ingredient consisting of cement, aggregates, and monomer is mixed with water and the monomer is polymerized after placing the concrete into forms.

Polymer cement concrete is a composite concrete that consist of synthetic polymer within the binding material. Polymer concrete has advantages of higher properties, low energy requirements and low labor costs.

Jul 4, 2024 · Concrete that uses polymer as a binder instead of cement is known as polymer concrete. Sometimes, the polymer is combined with Portland cement to create Polymer-Modified Concrete (PMC), Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) and Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC).

A polymer concrete is a type of composite material where the traditional cement hydrate binders in regular cement concrete are entirely replaced with polymer binders or liquid resins, resulting in a distinctive concrete-polymer composite.

Polymer concrete is a composite material where the cement hydrate binders in conventional concrete are replaced with polymer binders or liquid resins. It is a concrete-polymer composite with improved properties such as strength, adhesion, and chemical resistance compared to ordinary cement concrete.

Polymer concrete is a type of concrete where polymers are used as a binding agent instead of traditional cement. It has higher strength, better durability, and improved resistance to chemicals compared to regular concrete.

Jan 31, 2025 · For instance, research has analyzed the properties of polymer concrete containing polyester and epoxy resins as well as latex-modified concrete with styrene–butadiene rubber and epoxy latexes, demonstrating significant improvements in durability and resilience. Figure 1 presents a scheme of polymer application in concrete.
