Polymeric building stones, which are also considered as mining stones, are one of the extraordinary products in the engineering industry at the present time, which has created a great transformation in the production of high quality and unique artificial stones. Paving different areas have had a positive effect.
The important and main materials of polymer mosaic are:
- Fine and quality sand
- Very little fine grain
- ordinary Portland cement
- resin which is a kind of artificial stone and polycarboxylate superlubricants
- chemical dyes or pigments that have different colors including: black, white, red, yellow, Brown, blue, and green, which are used in the production of plastic colors and tiles in addition to being used in mosaics.
- Water
and other permitted additives
Specifications Physical and mechanical types of polymer mosaic
From the physical and mechanical characteristics of polymer mosaics, it should be mentioned its compressive strength, which is from 600 to 1000 kg/cm2. Also, the tensile strength of the mosaic is from 60 to 150 kg/cm2 and its wear resistance and durability is less than 4 grams/cm2 and its resistance at a temperature of 500 cycles and low water content is less than 3%. Is. In addition, the density of these mosaics is generally something around 2200 kg per cubic meter.
What are the most polymer mosaic applications and its features?
One of the features and peculiarities of polymer mosaics is their high resistance and durability. Polymer mosaics are created by using modern devices and methods and in the form of compression, and one of the other characteristics of this type of mosaics is that water does not penetrate inside these mosaics, and these mosaics are made of concrete and sand. And it is sand and the water penetrates into this type of mosaics and causes erosion and cracks in it. It should be noted that water is absorbed in these mosaics in such a way that only a very small percentage can be absorbed by polymer mosaics and this should be considered one of the advantages of these floorings.
From the application of polymer mosaics, such as what we have regarding concrete wash, it can be mentioned that they are hard and strong, and for this reason, this type of mosaic is suitable for cold and mountainous areas and for use in yards and outdoor environments. It is effective, such as courtyards, sidewalks and passages, etc.
Because the materials used to make these mosaics are sand and concrete and they are made of different molds, it can be combined. created in desired sizes and designs. It should also be noted that the lifespan of these mosaics is very long due to the materials that make them up and they have a long lifespan and are considered a good and wise choice against frost and cold places.
