Although polymer-modified cement mortar (PCM) has been extensively used as finishing and repairing material, it is necessary\nto understand its combustion properties and mechanical properties at high temperature. This study evaluated the combustion\ncharacteristics with varying experimental parameters such as polymer type, unit polymer content, polymer-cement ratio, and\nthickness of the specimen. This study also evaluated the compressive strength and elastic modulus of PCMs with focus on the\neffects of the type of polymer, unit polymer content, and polymer-cement ratio. As a result, the incombustibility of the PCM was\nin the following order: SBR < VVA < EVA. After heating end, the mass loss rate of the PCM was less than 30%, regardless of the\npolymer type, unit polymer content, and W/C. In heat release rate test, the higher the unit polymer content, the greater the total heat\nrelease, regardless of the difference in W/C. The PAE series showed excellent fire resistance in the temperature range of 200âË?¼400âË?Ë?C.\nPCMs with a unit polymer content of 5%, modified with EVA and PAE, showed outstanding compressive strength at 200âË?¼400âË?Ë?C.\nAt elevated temperature, the modulus of elasticity of PCM declined with an increase in the unit polymer content, regardless of the\npolymer type.
