Product Details

cellular lightweight concrete foaming agent

1. Clarify

a. Using the plant type foam agent, the internal porosity of the foamed cement is connected, good permeability, poor permeability resistance, the foamed agent cannot be used for the project of resistance to water penetration.

Bad foaming stability can not make the thickness of one-time casting foamed cement up to 200mm, or else, it will appear the surface subsidence phenomenon.

b. Using the animal type foam agent, the internal porosity of the foamed cement is not connected, its sealing and heat preservation is good and high strength.

The thickness of one-time casting foamed cement can be up to 1.5m, so it suitable for the production of foam brick, lightweight board, lightweight wall.

About Foam Concrete

Foam concrete, also called cellular concrete, is typically made of water, cement and foam. This mixture may also include aggregates or chemicals added to change its physical properties. It is a lightweight material with low density and limited strength in most applications.It is typically a self-levelling and compacting material that is more resistant to cracking and shrinkage than standard concrete mixes.

Strength

The strength and durability of foam concrete varies depending on the components mixed into it. For example, foam concrete made with sand is stronger and has a higher density than foam concrete made with just concrete and foam. Some foam concrete mixes include Portland cement that is mixed with the cement and foam by itself or mixed with pulverized fly ash. It may also include limestone. Each of these mixtures makes a cement product ideal for different applications, but typically all foam concrete products become more resistant when compressed and aren’t vulnerable to liquefication or settlement once hardened.

Advantages

Foam concrete is lightweight, so it’s ideal in applications where large concrete forms are needed because it is easier to move from one location to another. It is easier to cut than standard concrete, making it ideal in situations where holes for wiring and pipe must be cut into the concrete. Foam concrete contains no toxic substances that might be harmful for the environment, making it an eco-friendly building material as well. Because foam concrete may consist of up to 80 percent air, it has excellent insulation, sound-absorbing and fire-resistant properties.

Uses

Foam concrete made with cement and foam only is typically used in roofs and floors as an insulating material. Its low density makes it unsuitable for structural applications but it may be used to fill hollow blocks and voids between bricks and to fill unused culverts and underground voids such as old pipes. Foam concrete made with sand, cement and foam is denser, making it ideal for applications that require a structurally sound material such as when making precast blocks, for insulation and sound- proofing in residential and commercial buildings, foundations and for concrete slab work. Foam concrete may also be used for filling arches in bridges and viaducts, soil replacement and stabilization, and for road foundations.

How to Make Foamed Cement

Things You'll Need

Concrete mixer Foam generator Formwork or molds Pump

Fine sand Cement Water Chemical foaming agent etc.

Instruction

1.Decide how much concrete foam you need. For a volume of 0.5 cubic meters, you will need: 200 kilograms of cement, 200 kilograms of dry sand, 100 kilograms of water and foam generated at the correct density depending on your needs.

2.Make the foam. Use the foam generator to make stable foam from the chemical foaming agent. In general, 500 liters of foam will make 1 cubic meter of foamed concrete. Foam generators use an air compressor to generate the foam. Portafoam is an example of smaller foam generating equipment.

3.Mix the dry ingredients.Mix thoroughly and add the water in small amounts until sand, cement, and water are well mixed.

4.Add the foam to the mortar. Make sure the foam and mortar and well mixed.

5.Check the density of the product while wet. The density of dry concrete will be less, so make sure you are calculating based on wet density for your specific needs. For example, a density of 600 to 900 kilograms per cubic meter (38 to 56 lbs per cubic foot) is best for false ceiling and thermal insulation. See the Foam Concrete Physical Characteristics link below for more density recommendations.
