(Achieved strength at the lab with optimum sand and
cement qualities) More cement will increase strength. Using lightweight
aggregate in matrix of Cell.
Concrete increases strength up to 500% in overall
densities below 1000 kg/m3
GENERAL
REMARKS
Recommended weight of foam Minimum 80 g/ltr
Crushed Sand might mechanically destroy part of the
foam
Water to process foam Potable, if
possible below 25 degree celcius
Dilution of foaming agent 1 part of Neopor to 40 parts
of water
Recommended Cement Portland CEM
I 325R or higher grade, or similar
Recommended Sand Washed
river sand, Density/Sieve: Up to 1000/up to 2mm
Minimum 15-18% fines
Up to 1200/up to 4mm
Upto 1400/up to 5mm Up to 1600/up to 6mm
1 kg
of Neopar foaming agent, diluted in 40 parts of water
Yields approx 510 litres of foam at 80 grams/litre
Captive densities are oven-dry (24h at 100 degree
celcius)
Appr. 25% of the total volume of water (in mix and in
foam)
in relation to the weight of cement used will
crystallize and
therefore will have to be added to the dry-weight of
the cement
and sand used to reach the “oven-dry” density.
