Foaming agent to produce light weight concrete
Description
EUCO-FOAMING AGENT is a chloride free foaming agent to produce light weight concrete by entrained a controlled amount of air bubbles to the concrete mix.
Main purpose
EUCO-FOAMING AGENT is used to promote foam in the concrete mix and mortar used in:
- Roofs to produce light weight thermal and acoustic insulation layer.
- Brick factories for the production of light weight blocks.
- Light weight reinforced structural concrete elements such as light weight concrete used to fill the voids around the under grounds body and the under water structures.
Advantages
- High thermal and acoustic insulation.
- Wide choice of concrete densities.
- Fire proof.
Dosage
The optimum dosage should be determined by site or laboratory, tests with the particular concrete mix, which enables the effects of workability, amount of air entrained and also concrete strength, gain to be measured.
Generally the rate of addition is about 0.2 – 1% of the cement weight.
EUCO-FOAMING AGENT dosage differs according to the density needed for the light weight concrete and to the type of aggregates used. it is recommended to use the compressor after adding Euco foaming agent to the mixing water.
