Abstract

Pumices which are preferred due to their properties such as low unit weight, heat insulation property, resistance against fire were combined with polymer, the material of our age, to produce light concrete aggregate. In the study, pumice aggregate was coated by some polymers which are used for various purposes (Sonomeric1:SNMC, KBPur 214: KBP and Polipol3455: PLP) and the inner-structure examinations of the obtained aggregates was made by microscope and also specific weight, loose unit weight and water absorption experiments were applied. At the end of the study, the properties of pumice aggregates having high water absorption capability were developed and light aggregate production was realized.
