Polymeric sand is a new building material that has been gaining popularity in Canada. Polymer sand consists of small, round particles made from polymers and other minerals.
Polymers are usually plastics or rubber that have been chemically treated to give them specific properties. Polymeric sand can be used as an alternative to concrete, block, or brick construction because it offers many benefits (more affordable than some traditional materials; lighter weight than concrete) but still provides the necessary strength for structural integrity and durability required for buildings.
