Armorock, by contrast, uses a thermosetting polymer resin system combined with graded aggregates. There is no water in the mix. There is no steel rebar. The result is a composite material that exhibits compressive strengths exceeding 20,000 psi (compared to 4,000 psi for standard concrete) and absorbs virtually zero moisture.

This has led to a surge in orders for at military entry points and federal courthouses. One anonymous Department of Homeland Security source stated that the material is being considered for “hardening soft targets” in urban environments, specifically bollards and planter walls that must blend aesthetics with extreme blast resistance. Armorock, by contrast, uses a thermosetting polymer resin
Armorock faces scrutiny from environmental groups despite its longevity. The production of polymer resins is petroleum-based, and the material is notoriously difficult to recycle at end-of-life. However, Armorock is countering this with a new initiative. The result is a composite material that exhibits
Perhaps the most visible test of Armorock is unfolding in Miami Beach, Florida. As sea levels rise, saltwater intrusion is destroying underground utility infrastructure. The city’s $500 million stormwater pump stations were failing within five years due to chloride attack.
