Some examples of using PC overlays include: industrial floors exposed to abrasion and chemical spillage; concrete spillways and water conveyance structures exposed to abrasion erosion and freeze thaw attack; and bridge decks exposed to severe weather conditions, deicing salts, and heavy traffic. The paper focuses on three general types of PC overlays: premixed PC; multiple layered PC; and slurry PC. Some of the polymer binders used are methacrylate monomer systems, and epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins.","PeriodicalId":322358,"journal":{"name":"SP-214: Polymers in Concrete: The First Thirty Years","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114275735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polymer impregnated concrete received considerable attention in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a material for repair, overlays and precast components. Polymer modified concrete found wide use for concrete repairs, particularly for overlays and for spray-on coatings. Also discussed is the application of monomers and epoxy resins for crack repairs.
