Crete Foam
Overview
Description
Crete Foam is an efficient low dosage foaming admixture, which is used to produce lightweight cementitious materials (concrete, mortar, cement slurry) for a variety of insulation and construction applications. Crete Foam helps to produce a stable aerated mortar, by entrapping air into prepared cement slurry in the shape of discontinued air bubbles to form a cellular structure throughout the mass. The cellular structure significantly reduces the thermal conductivity and density of concrete, resulting in a lower dead load imposed on the structure. It provides excellent resistance to freeze and thaw.
Applications
Uses
- Crete Foam can be used for the production of low-density foamed mortar and concrete.
- As flat roof insulation screeds
- Insulated floor screeds
- As a backfill concrete
- Fabrication of light weight beams, blocks and panels
- Fire barrier
- Sound insulation of walls and ceilings
- As encasement concrete
Why Choose This
Advantages
Generates ultra-stable air bubbles that are strong, small and evenly distributed in the concrete.
Stable foam under alkaline condition of cement slurry.
Increase in resistance of concrete against frost and de-icing salts.
Suitable to use with all types of light weight aggregates to produce very low density concrete mix.
