Abstract
Epoxy resin has widely been used as adhesives and corrosion-resistant paints in the construction industry for many years, since it has desirable properties such as high adhesion and chemical resistance. Until now, in the production of conventional epoxy cement mortars, the use of any hardener has been considered indispensable for the hardening of the epoxy resin. However we have noticed the fact that even without any hardener, the hardening process of the epoxy resin can proceed by the action of hydroxides in cement mortars. As a result the disadvantages of the two-component mixing of the epoxy resin and hardener have been overcome. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties and durability of epoxy cement mortar without a hardener exposed at indoor and outdoor for one year. The epoxy cement mortars without and with a hardener were prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and tested for weight change, flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption, carbonation depth and pore size distribution. Especially, the basic properties of the epoxy cement mortars without hardener are discussed in comparison with ones with the hardener. From the test results, it is concluded thai the epoxy cement mortars without a hardener exposed at indoor and outdoor for one year have higher strength and better durability than ones with the hardener within the polymer-cement ratios of 10 to 20%.
