SULPHUR POLYMER CEMENT FOR CHEMICALLY RESISTANT CONCRETE

Composite materials based on sulphur polymer cement (spc) and mineral aggregate have been developed by the US bureau of mines as part of a programme to utilise abundant material resources. Goals are to develop durable, chemically resistant construction materials with lowered costs. Chemical degradation of portland cement concrete (pcc) is a serious problem due to acid and salt attack.
