Abstract
Polymer concrete and polymer mortar compositions and related methods of producing the same are disclosed. The compositions and methods produce economical, ready-mixed polymer concrete(s) and mortar(s) using a combination of thermoset polymers and emulsified polymers, hardeners, coarse and/or fine aggregates, fillers, shrinkage control agents, and other additives. The polymer concrete and polymer mortars utilize recycled materials.
Claims19
A polymer concrete composition comprising:
- a thermoset polymer in an amount in the range of about 0.1% to about 10% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition;
- a supplemental polymer in an amount in the range of about 0.1% to about 5% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition,
- wherein the supplemental polymer is a water-based surface-stabilized styrene-butadiene copolymer;
- coarse aggregates in an amount in the range of about 50% to about 54% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition;
- fine aggregates in an amount in the range of about 10% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition;
- recycled plastic filler material in an amount in the range of about 0.1% to about 10% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition,
- wherein the recycled plastic filler material is selected from the group consisting of recycled polyethylene, recycled polycarbonate, and any combination thereof;
- a shrinkage control agent in an amount in the range of about 0.1% to about 1% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition;
- and
- a hardener in an amount in the range of about 10% by total mass of the polymer concrete composition.
