Cellular Concrete

Lightweight  cellular  (foamed)  concrete  is made by mixing pre-formed stable foam and cement-based slurry. Due to its lightweight, high quality and availability has increased usage of this concrete compared to traditional concrete.  Specially formulated cellular concrete has an excellent property of self-compacting therefore no compaction is required. It steadily flows out of a pump outlet to fill the mould because of this it can be pumped over major height and distances. Types of Cellular Concrete based on Density Ø   High Density Cellular Concrete This is a structural grade concrete having the density ranging from 1200kg/m3 to 1800 kg/m3. It is used in the construction of load-bearing walls, partition walls and in the production of pre-cast blocks for load-bearing brickwork. Ø   Medium Density Cellular Concrete The density range of this cellular concrete is 800-1000 kg/m3. This uses in pre-cast blocks industryfor non-load-bearing brickwork. Ø   Light
