Resin-based structures for use in corrosive environments. The resin-based structures may include a mixture of resin and aggregate. The resin-based structures may be formed in a mold by placing aggregate and resin into the mold. The resin-based structures may have thin wall design with high compression and tension strength.

A polymer masonry unit is disclosed that can include a polymer added to a quarry byproduct to manufacture a quality brick unit. The present disclosure solves the technological problem of providing a structurally sound brick or concrete alternative without the need for kiln firing, using traditionally unusable waste material. By combining quarry byproduct and a polymer, a polymer masonry unit can be fabricated having compressive strength and architectural utility. In one exemplary embodiment, fiber elements can be added to the byproduct and polymer mixture to increase structural stability. The present disclosure improves the performance of the system itself by providing a basic block or brick unit using an environmentally responsible manufacturing process that reduces cost and waste. The manufacturing process includes a polymer/base material that can be poured into molds that cures over a predetermined period, without the need for kiln firing.

A process for the production of slabs made of mineral grits bound with resins comprises at least the phases of supplying a basic mixture that includes mineral grits and resins; loading the basic mixture inside at least one forming mold so as to obtain a laying surface facing downwards and an exposed surface facing upwards; compacting the basic mixture inside the forming mold to obtain a compacted slab; and hardening the compacted slab to obtain a slab made of mineral grits, wherein, after the compacting, a decoration phase with ink by digital printing of said exposed surface of said compacted slab is provided.

An apparatus including a first dispensing device configured to supply a first material to a conveyor belt of the main conveyor device in response to control by the computer processor, and a second dispensing device configured to supply a second material on top of the first material, while the first material is on the conveyor belt to form a combination comprised of at least the first and second materials, in response to control by the computer processor. The combination may be compressed by a first compression device in response to control by the computer processor. The compressed combination may be stirred by a first stirring device in response to control by the computer processor to form a first modified combination. The first modified combination may be compressed by a second compression device in response to control by the computer processor to form a compressed first modified combination.

This document describes systems and processes for forming stone slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, shower surrounds, tiles, or the like). In some embodiments, the stone slabs may be processed by partially filling a mold with a particulate mineral mix, and preparing a top surface of the particulate mineral mix to received one or more additional materials.

A particulate sound absorption board and its preparation method. The said particulate sound absorption board consists of binding agent and sound absorption particle; the external surface of sound absorption particle is covered with a layer of binding agent, and the angularity coefficient of particle covered with binding agent is less than 1.3; the said sound absorption particle consists of skeleton particle and filling particle, in which the former is used for sound absorption board skeleton, and the latter flows into the pore between skeleton particles to form sound absorption pore, and the average diameter of cross section of sound absorption pore is 0.07 mm. The two-stage manufacturing technology (i.e. coating, curing and then shaping) is adopted for the said preparation method to prevent the pore between particles from being blocked by excess binding agent, and further improve the angularity coefficient of particle.

A method for manufacturing an engineered stone, the method including: providing a mixture comprising at least a stone or stone like material and a binder; compacting the mixture; curing the binder; and further comprising printing a printed pattern on at least a top surface of the engineered stone.

The present invention provides particular a novel composition for manufacturing plastic composites and a process thereof. Said invention provides a composition and a process utilizes any or all kind of plastic waste in manufacturing composites and thereby is economical and environment friendly. It utilizes any or all kind of plastic wastes includes road waste, soft & hard form of plastic waste. Moreover, it eliminates the use of cement and utilizes plastic wastes in manufacturing composites; therefore is environment friendly. Said present compositions utilizes plastic waste in manufacturing light weight composites that are highly stable with increased strength, shelf life and durability. Said composition is fire resistant with increased strength withstanding heavy load.
