Abstract
Abstract Polymer concrete compositions comprising an unsaturated thermosettable resin(s) and/or ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s), an aggregate component and a water absorbent polymer are cured to provide polymer concrete with enhanced adhesion to substrates, especially wet concrete. A primer or coating composition for concrete comprising a water absorbent polymer and an unsaturated thermosettable composition is also disclosed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A curable polymer concrete composition which comprises (A) about 2 to about 20 weight percent of an unsaturated thermosettable composition containing about 1 to about 100 weight percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers and 0 to about 99 weight percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated resins, (B) about 75 to about 97.9 weight percent of an aggregate comprising at least 50 percent by weight of a component selected from the group consisting of sand, gravel, crushed stone or rock, silica flour, fly ash, or mixtures thereof, and (C) about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a water absorbent cross-linked polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A curable polymer concrete composition which comprises (A) about 2 to about 20 weight percent of an unsaturated thermosettable composition containing about 1 to about 100 weight percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers and 0 to about 99 weight percent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated resins, (B) about 75 to about 97.9 weight percent of an aggregate comprising at least 50 percent by weight of a component selected from the group consisting of sand, gravel, crushed stone or rock, silica flour, fly ash, or mixtures thereof, and (C) about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a water absorbent cross-linked polymer.
