Here is a demo of transparent cement. It's almost as tough as the usual one but it also lets through light.

It could be used for designing modern buildings or used in facilities which need some of solar light to pass through.

  • its translucent. Wow i sound like a geek, but yeah its translucent. If it was transparent it would be soooo cool, you could just put it on the sidewalk and someone could just walk up and slam into it :D

  • its not opaque, its translucid.

    transparent-lets all light pass through

    translucid-absorves and deflects most of the light

    opaque-absorves/deflects all the light

    you could see light going through it couldnt'ya?

    then its translucid

see all

  • OMG GLOWSTONE IN REAL LIFE!

  • It's spelled "translucent," dawg

  • @recoome219 i dot understad this its kinda confusig so there are holes in it

  • That's only translucency, not transparency.

  • what doesn't make sense is that concrete is used because it's so cheap, why would you use highly expensive resin or translucent cement which looks shitty instead of spending that money on steel structure with windows lol

  • This translucent effect is produced from the addition of fiberglass threads to the concrete mixture. but there is another material that is as strong as the concrete yet absolutely trasperant which is resin.

  • Will it allow only light, or does it allow liquid/water through? Are there holes in it, or some sort of transparent material shards in it?

  • I'm dirty minded.

  • its just got so much marble probably like 70% that it hast be be translucent ot teansparent watever.. same if i had 70% glass and 30% mud...same concept

  • @JoeM2000 Yes and that is only for visual light. Our body is transparent or translucent in X-ray. And glass is not transparent in UV light. Everything is actually transparent, you just have to use the right wavelength. =)
