Quality

Resistance to compression

Polymer Concrete applied to prefabricated systems can withstand up to 30.2 MPa versus the 7-9 MPa that traditional concrete can withstand. Before breaking or cracking.

Drainage of fluids

This material, thanks to its completely smooth, mirror-like surface, facilitates quick drainage of fluids. It additionally offers a zero water absorption index versus the 5 –10% of traditional concrete.

Resistance to chemicals

It is proven that polymer concrete is one of the most resistant materials to any type of chemical. This is because its components do not react to contact, thus avoiding separation or deformation of the product.

Resistance to frost

This material, unlike traditional ones, is not affected by the freezing-thawing cycles, thus avoiding the appearance of fissures or cracks and maintaining all physical properties intact.

Wear from abrasion

Polymer Concrete, because it is a compound material, guarantees perfect preservation of surfaces without any perception of wear from use or the passage of time.

Ligereza

Gracias a sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas, permite la realización de piezas con perfil más fino, lo que contribuye a la ligereza de éstas. Ligereza que se convierte en economía al reducir la utilización de medios auxiliares de transporte en obra.

Posibilidades estéticas y de colores

Por su fabricación mediante moldes ofrece una gran libertad para el diseño. Permite adaptar las piezas a las necesidades de cada proyecto y al criterio del arquitecto. La ligereza de las piezas ofrece un nuevo concepto de estéticas arquitectónica para las fachadas de los edificios.
