During the hydration process, Portland cement develops voids and cracks in ordinary concrete. Open gaps in polymer concrete can be eliminated by using a variety of resins, such as polyester-styrene, epoxy, and vinyl ester.

The proposed methodology does not use water as the main advantage against the actual wet washing process used in most stone quarries.
view more202221 · Concrete recycling is a well-established industry in many countries, albeit limited to the simple crushing of waste concrete and using only the coarse fraction as aggregate. The fine fractions generally remain undervalued, meaning an obstacle for full re-utilization and commercialisation of waste concrete.
