 Meyer polymer concrete is a composite material consisting of polyester resin, quartz sand, silicate aggregate and quartz filler. Because portland cement performs poorly in an acidic environment, Meyer polymer concrete utilizes a polyester resin to bond the kiln-dried silicate aggregate, thereby creating a dense, corrosion-resistant matrix. For special industrial applications where added chemical resistance may be required, Meyer polymer concrete can be produced using a vinyl ester resin.
Polymer concrete pipes are produced using a vertical casting process, very similar to concrete pipe. Exact amounts of the materials are pre-mixed, with the raw material quantities, mixing sequence and material feeds controlled by a computer. Then, the mixed material is loaded into vertical molds where vibratory compaction is used to ensure a dense, void-free composite structure. The polymer concrete pipe is initially cured in the molds. Once a rigid structure has set, the molds are stripped and the pipe is post-cured in a tunnel kiln.
Meyer Polycrete Polymer is designed for a variety of sanitary, storm and industrial sewer applications. This high performance polymer concrete product is especially suited for highly corrosive environments. It's strength rigidity and design also make it perfect for microtunnelling and pipe jacking applications. Meyer polymer concrete pipe is manufactured in diameters ranging from 8" - 102" and standard joint lengths from 8’ to 10'.
