Concrete Foaming Agent Supplier

Russian president demanded that exports of Russian gas to "unfriendly" countries be settled in rubles. The demand has raised concerns in Germany about possible supply disruptions and the impact on industry and households if utilities do not pay in robles. Europe gets about 40% of its gas from Russia. Last year, Europe imported about 155 billion cubic meters. Germany, Europe's largest economy, depends heavily on Russian gas.

The chief executive of Germany's E.ON said the German economy would face "significant damage, which should be avoided if possible" without Russian supplies. He also said it would take Germany three years to wean itself off Russian gas.  

In the event of a supply disruption, Germany's gas network regulator would prioritize home heating over industrial use, so energy-hungry manufacturers such as steelmakers would be the first to suffer, he said.

The volatile international situations will continue to affect the markets and prices of many commodities like the concrete foaming agent.

What is Foam Concrete?

Foam concrete is a highly workable low-density material containing up to 80% air. It is usually self-leveling, self-compacting, and can be pumped. The risk of plastic shrinkage or settlement cracking is obviously lower than that of standard concrete. 

Foam Concrete Advantages

Foam concrete is a versatile and practical material that can be customized to a variety of project needs and operating conditions. 

1. Pumpable foam concrete - can be pumped over long distances and can be placed by conventional concrete pumps or rotor-stator pumps (often referred to as "worm pumps"). 

2. Self-compacting and self-leveling - making it ideal for inaccessible troughs where compaction is difficult or impossible. It allows controlled discharge into narrow openings, fully fills void space, including bottom cut pockets, and fully encloses and protects piping. 

3. Frost/thawing resistance - High air content makes it frost/thawing resistant and provides excellent heat and sound insulation. 

4. The load is dispersed and the settlement risk is negligible 

5. Insulation properties - Can be used as a low-density insulator ironing plate 

6. Lightweight concrete with high gas content 

7. Highly mobile - Easy to place and finish due to a single process installation, requiring only dumping and leveling. Controlled placement rate to ensure applicable to any load characteristics.

Foam Concrete Application

Foam concrete is ideal for filling void Spaces such as abandoned fuel tanks, sewer systems, pipes, and culverts -- especially in hard-to-access areas. It is a recognized medium for repairing road ditches.

Unwanted voids: pipes, service pipes and shafts, sumps 

Abandoned structures: culverts and subways, redundant sewers, cellars, and basements 

Structural stability: abutment, tunnel stability, embankment 

Insulation filler: a leveling layer of low-density insulators used to cover the site 

What is the mix for foam concrete? 

The foam concrete mixture itself is composed of fine sand, cement, water, and stabilized foam. A standard formula is 2 parts cement and 1 part fine, dry sand, and a foam generator. 

How strong is concrete foam? 

Foam-based concrete has a dry density of 400 to 1600 kg/m3 (25lb/FT3 to 100lb/FT3) and a 7-day strength of about 1 to 10 N/mm2 (145 to 1450 psi).
