Lightweight:
A specific foaming agent affects concrete volume expansion thus producing lightweight concrete. The density of foamed concrete stands at 30% -70% less than regular concrete thus enabling buildings to become lighter with reduced foundation expenses and improved resistance against seismic movement.
Insulation:
Building insulation improves with concrete that contains bubbles because these air cavities promote heat insulation through reduced thermal conduction.
Sound absorption:
The bubbles serve as sound absorbers that both diminish sound wave activity and make buildings more effective at dampening sound transmission.
Seismic resistance:
Selective testing shows that foamed concrete exhibits quality ductility properties because it absorbs seismic energy effectively during earthquakes to boost building seismic resistance.
Environmental Protection: Currently the manufacturing process for cement foaming agents operates easily and requires low investments and results in minimal environmental effects throughout production and use. The lightweight characteristics and high strength and insulation properties of foamed concrete offer construction opportunities to decrease building energy usage as well as industrial carbon footprint for promoting sustainability.
Cement foaming agents find their applications in construction as well as road and bridge engineering sectors. The material finds applications in manufacturing lightweight insulation boards and partition boards with insulation layers as well as flooring components while being suitable for wall block fillings in building interiors or exteriors and soundproof applications and ground heat insulation and roofing thermal insulation uses all serve as its main fields of application.
