UK company Concrete Canvas have been awarded Material of the Year 2009 by materials consultancy Material ConneXion for their cement-impregnated fabric.
Called Concrete Cloth, the material consists of cement layered between fabric that can bond with water, backed with PVC.
The product can be formed into the required shape then allowed to absorb water, causing it to set after two hours.
The material can be used structurally and is fireproof and waterproof. The designers hope it will have applications in disaster relief, military and commercial environments.
