Polymer Concrete Channel Drains
Polymer concrete is the standard channel material for B125 and higher load class applications. It offers greater structural strength, better chemical resistance and improved dimensional stability compared to polypropylene — making it the material of choice for driveways, commercial car parks, roads and industrial environments.
Why Polymer Concrete?
| Property | Polymer Concrete | Polypropylene |
|---|---|---|
| Structural strength | Higher — suits B125 to F900 | Lower — suited to A15 |
| Chemical resistance | Good resistance to common chemicals | Moderate |
| Dimensional stability | Very stable — resists temperature movement | Can flex under temperature change |
| Weight | Heavier — more robust to movement | Lighter — easier to handle |
| Typical load classes | B125, C250, D400, F900 | A15 (some B125) |
| Typical applications | Driveways, car parks, roads, industrial | Patios, paths, pedestrian areas |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is polymer concrete?
Polymer concrete is a composite material made from aggregates bound by a polymer resin rather than Portland cement. It offers higher strength, better chemical resistance and greater dimensional stability than standard plastic or polypropylene channel materials.
Is polymer concrete better than polypropylene for channel drainage?
Polymer concrete is the preferred material for B125 and higher load class applications because of its structural performance. For A15 domestic applications, polypropylene is a lighter and more economical choice. Both are valid — the right material depends on the application and load class.
Which Forti Nova products are polymer concrete?
Polymer concrete products in the Forti Nova range include the Eurokit A15, Euro Mini A15, Domo B125, B125 Driveway Channel, Domo C250, U100 C250, R100/R150/R200 D400 RapidLock, U100 D400, and all F900 channels.
Can polymer concrete channels be cut on site?
Polymer concrete channels should not normally be cut on site without manufacturer guidance. Contact our team for advice on managing non-standard run lengths.
