Abstract

This paper discusses the chemical resistance of polymethyl methacrylate concrete to typical reagents for industrial uses. The polymethyl methacrylate concrete is prepared with proper mix proportions, and tested for chemical resistance to eleven reagents such as acids, alkali, salts, oils, solvents and tap water according to the draft JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), Method of Test for Chemical Resistance of Concrete in Aggressive Solutions. The conclusions obtained are summarised as follows: the polymethyl methacrylate concrete is seriously attacked by acetone and toluene and slightly attacked by hydrochloric, sulfuric and acetic acids; but it shows good resistance to sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, kerosene, rapeseed oil and tap water.
