Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Contaminated Incinerator Ash in Modified
Sulfur Cement," BNL-43691, Technical Report, Brookhaven National
Laboratory, Upton, NY.
The sulfur polymer cement will hold about three times more incinerator
ash than regular cement waste products.

The report claims significantly greater waste loadings-for the sulfur
polymer cement versus the regular hydraulic cement for radwastes.

Syncrete
They found sulfur polymer cement to be superior to portland cement in
so7idfying ash material.

Other
Syncrete (synthetic concrete) is a composite matrix of ordinary
hydraulic cement and a thermosetting polymer mixture. The Syncrete
exhibits a significantly reduced water uptake.
