What Is Polymer Concrete?
Polymer concrete, also known as resin concrete, is made of mineral aggregate bound with a thermoset resin instead of portland cement. The result is a dense, acid-resistant material with high compressive strength.
It is well suited to areas where conventional concrete breaks down under acid, such as electrowinning tank houses and chemical process floors.
We cast polymer concrete electrolytic cells, trenches and channels to order.
Key Benefits of Polymer Concrete
Acid Resistance
High Strength
Low Permeability
Non-Conductive
Long Service Life
Products
- Electrolytic cells for copper electrowinning (EW) and electrorefining (ER), cast to the cell dimensions and layout of your tank house.
- Trenches and channels for acid drainage and spill containment, which can be paired with our FRP grating as covers.
Applications
- Copper electrowinning and electrorefining tank houses
- Acid drainage in process plants
- Spill containment in chemical and mining facilities
