Polymers in Building and Construction

Polymer materials have been steadily replacing traditional materials in the building and construction sector. Construction applications of plastics include pipes and guttering, window and door profiles, glazing, roofing, sealants and adhesives, cement, insulation, flooring and building panels. Civil engineering applications include geomembranes, road and sports surfaces, building reinforcement and bridge building. This report examines the extensive markets for polymers by material and also by application, listing key players in these fields and new developments.Cousins, Keith is the author of 'Polymers in Building and Construction' with ISBN 9781859573327 and ISBN 1859573320.
