Conventional and concrete methods are capital-intensive, requiring extensive quarrying, long-haul transport, and heavy compaction of rock, stone, and fines.

Multiple material layers, deep excavation, and long curing times routinely push delivery schedules past deadlines, extending costly traffic diversions.

Traditional roads crack, washboard, and form potholes under heavy loads and weather cycling — creating a perpetual, expensive maintenance burden.

Water penetration into porous structures causes catastrophic freeze/thaw expansion — the single greatest structural failure mechanism in cold and extreme climates.

PolymerPave Soil Stabilization

An innovative non-toxic liquid admixture for the cement soil stabilization sector. Evolved from compounds proven successful for over a decade in Australia, Asia, and Europe — now available globally through PGC.

In solution with water, PolymerPave bonds the molecules of in-situ soil, cement, and aggregate into a solid-flexible, waterproof polymer that floats on sub-grade with superior compression and tensile strength. The exothermic reaction cures in approximately 3 hours — traffic may be reintroduced immediately upon final roll-out.

PolymerCrete Concrete Additive

A non-toxic liquid admixture for Portland cement concrete mixes. Suitable for slab-on-grade, foundations, columns, bridge decks, precast structures, and stucco. Strength, durability, and imperviousness are enhanced by a modest addition to the mix.

Independently tested by the University of British Columbia Department of Civil Engineering (Dr. Nemkumar Banthia, PhD, PEng, FRSC — Canada Research Chair in Infrastructure Rehabilitation), PolymerCrete demonstrated measurable improvements across all key performance indicators, including a uniquely favourable result under moist curing — contrary to all other known commercial polymer emulsions.

  • Reduced total porosity vs plain concrete
  • No retardation of cement hydration

Precast Manufacturing — Factory & Field

PolymerPre-Cast Additive

A non-toxic liquid admixture for the precast concrete industry. In the factory environment, a modest addition to the concrete mix results in enhanced compression and tensile strengths, and greater structural flexibility.

Suitable for sewer pipes, bridge decks, bricks, and blocks. Treated pipes become impervious to water and methane gas penetration — the primary cause of pipe ceiling deterioration. In bridge deck applications, reduced scantlings achieve lighter structures with superior durability. In brick and block manufacturing, dramatically reduces breakage waste during handling. Proven across European rail sleeper networks.

Study: PolymerCrete® as Admixture for Durability Enhancement in Concrete

Preliminary study investigating the effects of PolymerCrete on hydration, strength, and durability properties of cement paste and concrete exposed to dry and moist-curing conditions.

Key finding: unlike commercial polymer emulsions which typically delay cement hydration and reduce strength under moist curing, PolymerCrete showed no retardation of hydration and demonstrated superior strength gains under moist curing conditions — a result the research team described as "quite interesting" and contrary to all established industry precedent for polymer-modified cement composites.

Ecological Stewardship Mandate

Built for the
Planet Too

Zero Toxic Run-Off

Completely eliminates the hazardous chemical leaching associated with traditional asphalt — which contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that contaminate groundwater and surrounding soil ecosystems.

Carbon Reduction

Greatly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating external quarrying, heavy transport trucks, and energy-intensive asphalt production. Less haulage, fewer trucks, lower site-to-site emissions.

Resource Conservation

Utilises existing in-situ materials, preserving natural stone and aggregate reserves. Eliminates quarry operations and all long-haul heavy vehicle transport associated with conventional road construction.

Extended Asset Life

Designed for long service life with reduced maintenance — meaning fewer reconstruction cycles, fewer material inputs, and lower lifecycle emissions compared to asphalt requiring periodic resurfacing.

No Hazardous Classification

Carries no UN hazardous chemical number. Requires no special labelling, safety equipment, or handling protocols — safe for workers and surrounding ecosystems throughout application and service life.

Soil Health Preservation

The locked polymer matrix does not leach, does not migrate, and does not degrade surrounding soil chemistry or hydrology. Works with saturated clay and PEAT-equivalent substrates without contaminating them.
