Type of concrete that uses polymers to replace lime-type cements as a binder
Polymer concrete, also known as Epoxy Granite, is a type of concrete that uses a polymer to replace lime-type cements as a binder. In some cases the polymer is used in addition to Portland cement to form Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) or Polymer Modified Concrete (PMC).[1] Polymers in concrete have been overseen by Committee 548 of the American Concrete Institute since 1971.
