What is Foam Concrete?
Foam concrete is a cement-bonded material made by blending an extremely fluid cement paste (slurry), into which is injected a stable, pre-formed foam, manufactured on site.
Fresh foam concrete has the appearance of a light-grey mousse or milk-shake and it is the volume of slurry to foam which dictates the cast density of the foam concrete.
The foam is produced using either protein-based foaming agent PROVOTON, or synthetic additive SYNVOTON, both of which are manufactured for us here in the UK.
The physical characteristics of foam concrete are determined by the use of one of a number of mix designs: Depending upon the application for which the concrete is required, these mix designs may include the use of Portland Cement (CEM1), either on it's own, or in combination with a percentage of Pulverized Fly Ash, GGBS, or the inclusion of limestone dust or sand.
