Best Answer

Polymer concrete is a composite material which results from polymerization of a monomer/aggregate mixture. The resulting polymer binds the aggregate making the concrete stronger than ordinary concrete using just standard aggregate.

What is a 'dry polymer'?

A dry polymer is one that is not in solution. they are used where moisture would create an issue. Sometimes dry polymer powder is added to cement so that when the cement is hydrated to make concrete, the dry polymer is hydrated at the same time. If a wet polymer, or polymer solution were used, it would react with the cement and make it unusable.


What is High density polymer concrete?

What is Polymer concrete?It is also known as resin concrete because synthetic resins are used instead of cement in its manufacturing.Density of cement concreteDensity of normal concrete is in the order of about 2400 kg per cubic metre. The density of light-weight concrete will be less than 1900 kg per cubic metre.To call the concrete, as high density concrete, it must have unit weight ranging from about 3360 kg per cubic metre to 3840 kg per cubic metre, which is about 50% higher than the unit weight of conventional concrete. They can, however be produced with the densities upto 5280 kg per cubic metre using iron as both fine and coarse aggregate.The high density concrete is used in the construction of radiation shields.Density of polymer concreteNormally, the density of polymer concrete is not more than 2260 kg per cubic metre, when you use normal aggregates like granite stone chips and river sand as you do in standard cement concrete.When you use aggregates obtained from iron ore or iron rod pieces, you can make high density polymer concrete upto 5140 kg per cubic metre.


Why although concrete components are elastic concrete is inelastic?

Well this is not quite true. Aggregate is a key component of concrete and is inelastic. In addition concrete pillars and beams will bend slightly under load and is thus not 100% inelastic. Polymer modified concrete and rebar modified concrete is also slightly elastic.
