Experimental study of concrete by replacement of cement with polymer resin

Polymer concrete is produced by mixing a variety of mineral fillers with a synthetic or natural resin binding agent which is a versatile, durable and composite material. The polymer concrete that we made consists of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water, polymer resin. The polymer resin that we used is Master EmacoSBR2. It is a styrene butadience copolymer latex liquid, milky white, produced from styrene and butadience by high pressure emulsion polymerization with high dispresive properties. The polymer resin that replaces cement were 2.5Litre, 5Litre, 10Litre, 12.5 Litre for 50Kg cement. The polymer concrete with different mix proportions are compared with the normal concrete. The test results compared are further studied and the effective percentage of polymer resin to be added in concrete is given.
