Syncrete or Syn-Crete was an experimental synthetic concrete intended for road patching and repairs, created by blending an artificial polymer with concrete. According to its manufacturer, Hodson Chemical Construction Corp., Syncrete had been used successfully on small and large concrete repair projects throughout the West and Hawaii.
