Influence of foaming agent on cement and foam concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
Abstract Foaming agent is an indispensable component in preparation of foam concrete by using prefabricated foams. In this study, four types of foaming agents were used to prepare foam concrete. Effect of foaming agent on properties of fresh and hardened foam concrete, interaction between foaming agent and cement, and the gas–liquid interface in foam

Three-phase-foams for foam concrete application

Materials Characterization, 2015
Abstract Minerally bound foams are used throughout in the building industry for their combination of load bearing capacity and thermal insulation. Nowadays this can be achieved by lightweight concretes, especially with aerated and foam concretes. Blocks made of aerated concrete as well as prefabricated components are well-known.

Study on Foaming Agent Foam Ability and Stability for Foam Concrete

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
Foam ability and stability of foaming agent are key factors for foam concrete properties. Through researching LAS, SDS and magnesite foaming agent commercially available, the results show that adding HPMC after can reduce LAS, SDS and magnesite foam bleeding quantity and subsidence distance and has little impact on foam expansion, magnesite foam ...

Non-autoclaved Foam Concrete with Improved Foam Characteristics

2021
In the production technology of non-autoclaved cellular concrete, there are a number of technological changes, the possibility of intensifying which is possible by inserting chemical and mineral additives-stabilizers of the foam matrix. These additives can simultaneously act as accelerators of hardening and setting, as well as stabilize the foam matrix
