Compositions and Properties of Polymeric Concrete with Granulight Additive

Abstract

The influence of the type and quantity of filler on the physico-mechanical properties of polymeric concrete is studied. Microcalcite MK-100 and aluminosilicate hollow microspheres “Granulight 3500” were used as fillers. The properties of the microspheres are determined. The compositions were selected and properties of polymeric concrete when using microspheres instead of micralcite and part of the aggregate (sand) as filler were determined. To preserve the workability of the concrete mixture it is recommended to use chloroparaffin CP-470A as a plasticizer. The optimal composition of polymer concrete with the required workability of the mixture and strength is proposed.
