The effect of organic resins on the strength characteristics and pore structure of quartz-liquid glass composites was investigated. It was found that use of liquid glass modified with 5% PAN-19 polyester resin as the binder allows increasing the strength by 25–30% and decreasing water absorption by 40%. The total porosity of the modified composition decreased by 30% in comparison to the composition with no additives and the average pore size also decreased and pores 0–0.2 mm in size totally disappeared.
