Description
Polymer concrete is similar to conventional concrete in that it contains selected blends of aggregates and fillers which are held together utilizing a binder. Conventional Concrete uses a combination of cement and water for the binder. In polymer concrete the binder is a high strength, corrosion resistant, thermosetting resin. this resin system requires a curing agent (catalyst) which when combined with the resin, transfers the resin and curing agent from a liquid to a solid (thermoset polymer) which bonds to the aggregate, various fillers and internal reinforcement. Polymer Pipe and Products was developed to meet the severe operating conditions in the wastewater industry. Traditionally, wastewater infrastructures are constructed using reinforced concrete, clay, brick and/or steel for pipe, manholes and associated structures. All of which are subject to corrosion, installation and/or maintenance problems. For many years the wastewater industry has needed a product that could combat the numerous infrastructure problems. iNTERpipe polymer concrete products offer a solution to this need.
