What is concrete foaming agent?
Animal protein-based foaming agent is made of selected animal (bovine, sheep) keratin as the main raw material through a series of hydrolysis reactions, heating to dissolve, dilution, filtration, and high-temperature shrinkage.
Animal protein-based foaming agent is produced with advanced equipment, and the latest manufacturing technology, and the production process is subject to strict quality management.
Animal protein-based foaming agent is a dark brown viscous liquid with low impurity content, less irritating odor, uniform quality, good quality consistency, good foaming, and excellent. It belongs to a new generation of animal-based cement foaming agents.

Feature of concrete foaming agent:
Among all the cement foaming agents, animal protein-based foaming agent has the best performance; the foam is stable, and most of the emitted foam remains after 24 hours because the bubble liquid film formed by the keratin is very tough and elastic. After being pressed by external force, it can immediately return to its original state and is not easy to break.
Therefore, the pores of the foam concrete produced by it are mostly closed spherical, with few connected pores.
The characteristics are that the foam is particularly stable and the diameter of the foam is small, which is suitable for the production of ultra-low density foamed concrete. It has good pouring stability and high strength of the foamed concrete.
It is a new type of environmentally friendly and efficient cement foaming agent. This foaming agent has been widely used in Japan, Korea, the United States, Italy, etc.

FAQs of Foaming Agent:
Q: What is lightweight foamed concrete?
Foam concrete, also known as aircrete, is a type of lightweight concrete typically made by mixing water, cement and foam. Sand may also be included to make the mix stronger. The different components added to the mix will determine the strength and durability of the concrete.
Q: Why use foamed concrete?
Foamed concrete is widely used due to its superior properties, such as self-levelling ability, high insulation properties, filling ability, fire-resistant characteristics and low cost compared to other types of lightweight concrete.
Q: How to make foaming agent for concrete？
Please note that making your own foaming agent from scratch requires knowledge of chemical formulations and may not yield the same results as commercial products. It is often recommended to use a commercially available foaming agent that has been tested and optimized for use in concrete.
