Chemical Resistance

Polymer Concrete

PolyDrain polymer concrete components are manufactured from select quartz aggregate and inert mineral fillers bonded together with high-grade thermoset PolyDyn polyester or PolyChampion vinyl ester resins creating products of superior strength, chemical resistance, and durability. Physical properties of the two polymer concrete formulations are the same. The choice of polymer for an application is dependant upon the effluent and chemical environment.

PolyDyn

Standard PolyDrain products are manufactured from PolyDyn; an advanced formulation of select quartz aggregates and inert mineral fillers bonded with high grade polyester resins. This unique material is suitable for most drainage applications, including all normal exterior and interior drainage involving exposure to salt, gasoline, fuel oil and many dilute acids and alkalis.

PolyChampion

PolyChampion is formulated to resist heavily concentrated and corrosive chemicals. Special resins of vinyl ester, recognized for their excellent corrosion resistance, are used as binders in the polymer concrete mixture. Only inert quartz minerals are used as aggregates.
