Different Aggregates for Concrete Kevlar

Concrete Kevlar is designed for use with different forms of aggregates. Concrete products are strong and dependable materials made from sand, cement, small stones, gravel and water but are not sustainable when placed under tension. Kevlar works with aggregates by providing strong physical and mechanical characteristics. In addition to adding superior strength to withstand tension, Kevlar creates a water- and frost-resistant shield that decreases shrinkage as concrete sets and dries.
  1. Asphalt Kevlar

    • Asphalt breaks down when exposed to weather and water.

      Asphalt --- a form of bituminous concrete that combines aggregate, liquid asphalt cement and recycled materials --- is more cost effective in the initial installation than ready-mix concrete. Coating asphalt with Kevlar sealant made for concrete adds years of life to the surface. Rebuffing water, mold and mildew, a hard but flexible coat protects asphalt from breaking down after a few years.

    Marble and Granite

    • Marble is beautiful but not practical.

      Marble and granite make for attractive displays of stone for window sills, floors and surrounding fireplaces. However, these materials lack flexibility and can easily crack. Radiant-looking stone made from Concrete Kevlar reduces the brittle nature of the material while providing sustainability.

    Small Architectural Forms

    • Architectural forms add flair.

      Casting molds for architectural detail can become expensive. With the use of a combination of sand, cement, screening, plasticizer and colorants, almost any type of shape, stamping or style is easy. Concrete Kevlar allows colors to be bright and deep with no worry of fading or runs. Using a coating of metal or gold finishes treated with Kevlar delivers high quality and longevity to small architectural style.

    Decorative Stone and Paving Material

    • Decorative stone lends a distinctive presence to homes.

      Slate, fieldstone, pebble and balaam stone are other examples of aggregates concrete Kevlar can turn into strengthened pieces to add grace to any situation. Created from concrete to resemble what was once unobtainable, Kevlar adds natural presence and durability to almost any type of stone.
