Polymer Concrete

Polymer concrete is an engineering material, composed by a thermosetting resin binder (initially liquid) and carefully graded minerals such as quartz, granite and bassalt particles.

When the raw materials are combined through a process of mixing, molding and curing of the resin, a solid product of extraordinary structural, mechanical, chemical and electrical resistance is obtained. Mechanical properties can be enhanced even further by adding controlled amounts of fiberglass reinforcements. Other materials that can be added include steel, aluminum and cast iron.

Polymer concrete castings are used in machine tools and inspection equipment because they dampen vibration, improving machine speeds and accuracy. The high chemical resistance makes polymer castings ideal as a replacement for stainless steel and they can be used in contact with food. Polymer concrete castings do not rust or corrode and can be cast in virtually any color.
