What is foam concrete? What are the characteristics? Synthetic blowing agents for the production of foam concrete

I. What is foam concrete?
Foam concrete is a new type of porous lightweight concrete material containing a large number of closed air holes, which is formed through the foaming system of the foaming machine to fully foam the blowing agent mechanically and evenly mix the foam with the cement slurry and then through the pumping system of the foaming machine for in-situ casting construction or mold shaping, and through the natural curing. At present, it is also called foamed concrete in civil engineering. It belongs to the bubble insulation materials, prominent feature is the formation of closed foam holes inside the concrete so that the concrete is lightweight and thermal insulation.

Second, what are the characteristics of foam concrete? :: Lightweight: the concrete is lightweight and has the following characteristics
1, lightweight: dry bulk density of 300-1200KG/m3 weight equivalent to ordinary cement concrete 1/5-1/8 or so, can reduce the overall load on the building.
2, integrity: can be poured on-site construction, and the main body of the combination of close does not need to leave the boundary between the joints and ventilation pipe.
3、Low elasticity and shock absorption: the porous nature of foam concrete makes it have low elastic modulus, which makes it have good absorption and dispersion of impact loads.
4、Compressive resistance: The compressive strength* is 0.6-15.0 MPa.
5, water resistance: cast-in-place foam concrete water absorption is small, relatively independent of closed bubbles and has good integrity so that it has a certain waterproof performance.
6、Durability: the same life as the main project.
7, construction speed: only need to use a simple machine that can be automated, can achieve 800 meters of long-distance transport, the workload of 150-500m3 / day
