Documentation & Technical Specifications
The materials used for the production of a foamed concrete fall into three main categories which will effect a change in the wet and/or cured concrete. We will assume the water has very little influence on the foamed concrete provided that the source is potable and it is therefore a constant. The three categories are:-
- Cement type
- Filler or aggregate
- Foaming agent
What is Foamed Concrete?
Foamed concrete is a highly air entrained sand cement or cement only slurry with greater than 20% air by volume. The air is created by the introduction of a preformed foam manufactured using Propump Engineering’s custom foaming agent (Propump 26), encapsulating bubbles of 0.3-1.5mm diameter.
The material is a lightweight, free-flowing, self-compacting, and highly insulating material. It exhibits good load bearing capacity and resistance to freeze thaw exposure. It is an extremely versatile product, which will flow through small enclosed voids such as sewers and yet when set can be tooled to provide access for services.
