The use of epoxy, polyester and similar reactive polymers in

This publication, together with Volumes 2 and 3, provides guidance on the construction applications and in-service performance of the following types of reactive polymers: epoxies, unsaturated polyesters, acrylates and methacrylates, vinyl esters, polyurethanes and furanes. They are intended to promote the more confident and cost-effective use of these materials in the UK. The reports deal with products used on site and for the factory production of resin-concrete components. The technical and economic benefits of these thermosetting materials are identified and guidelines for selection and specification are presented. Information is also provided on the nature of reactive polymers, their formulation and their application and safety requirements.
