Evaluations of Some Physical Properties of Cement with PVA/Polyol as Binder Material to produce insulating board

Abstract

The composition of polymer blend (PVA/Polyol) by percentage 3:1, which is mixed with different a percentage (10%-90%) with different percentages of cement (10%-90%), where investigated. The optimal percentage of polymer blend and cement is 10% and 90% respectively. Physical properties of the mixture such as density, water absorption and compressive strength were determined; mixture of 10% cement was used as a binder to study the physical properties with different percentages of polymer blend and sand. This will prove a resistance to water absorption and can be used in ready construction panels.
