What is concrete foam agent?
Concrete foam agent, also known as foam concrete foaming agent, refers to an additive that can reduce the surface tension of the liquid and produce a large number of uniform and stable foam to produce foam concrete. The foaming agent is a kind of substance that can make its aqueous solution produce a lot of foam when mechanical force is introduced into the air.
This kind of substance is surfactant or surfactant. The essence of the foaming agent is its surface activity. Without surface activity, you can't foam, and you can't become a foaming agent. Surface activity is the core of foaming.
Characteristics of concrete foam agent
It belongs to bubble insulation material, and its outstanding feature is that it forms closed foam holes in the concrete, which makes the concrete lightweight and heat insulating. Foamed cement is a new type of light thermal insulation material with a large number of closed pores, which is formed by fully foaming the foaming agent by mechanical means through the foaming system of the foaming machine, uniformly mixing the foam with cement slurry and then carrying out cast-in-place construction or mold molding through the pumping system of the foaming machine. It belongs to bubble insulation material, and its outstanding feature is that it forms closed foam holes in the concrete, which makes the concrete lightweight and heat-insulating.
1. The thermal resistance is about 10-20 times that of ordinary concrete.
2. It is equivalent to about 1/5 ~ 1/8 of ordinary cement concrete, which can reduce the overall load of the building.
3. There is no need to leave boundary seams and vent pipes.
4. The porosity of foamed cement makes it have low elastic modulus, which makes it have good absorption and dispersion effect on impact load.
Application of concrete foam agent
1. Thermal insulation layer of radiant floor heating and roof insulation;
2. Filled wall blocks inside and outside the building, sound insulation walls;
3. Heat preservation, moisture protection, and corrosion protection of municipal pipelines such as water supply, heating, and oil pipelines;
4. Construction of greenhouse for plant cultivation and cold storage;
5. Fill the gaps in tunnels and gaps in buildings;
6. Laying of pavements, sports grounds, and stadiums at the grass-roots level.
Price of concrete foam agent
Different types of concrete foaming agents will affect the price of products, and the purchased quantity will also affect the cost of cement foaming agents. The larger the purchase volume, the lower the cost. The price of cement foaming agents can be found on our company's official website.
