Polymer Concrete

Polymer Concrete is a composite material consisting of a polymeric resin and aggregate fillers.  Polymer concrete is strong, durable, non-absorbent and chemical-resistant.  These properties make it desirable over conventional materials like concrete, metals, fiberglass and plastic.

The most widely-recognized use of polymer concrete is in solid surface countertops for modern kitchens and baths.  With its decorative finishes and excellent resilience, polymer concrete is ideal for many ornamental applications including park benches, outdoor furniture, and waste containers. 

Polymer concrete also has great potential in industrial and construction applications and has been used for pump bases, flooring blocks, chemical containment, trench drains and more.  It is a robust, cost-saving material that can be molded to meet even complex part requirements.
