Cellular concrete :

Definition :

A special type of concrete which is manufactured by mixing ordinary Portland cement, fly ash, Sand, water and previously formed foam in appropriate proportion.

Foam producing substances used in cellular concrete:

• THTFA -3:  It is one of the best foaming agents which is used in the formation of cellular concrete.
• Protein-based foaming agent: It is prepared with raw material in presence of Ca(OH)2 and a small protein of NaHSO3
• Synthetic foaming agent: In synthetic foaming agent, the Chemicals are used to reduce the surface tension.

The speciality of cellular concrete :

• Cellular concrete is used to form one of the hardened material having an oven-dry density of 50 pounds per cubic foot(PCF) or less.

Reference code used to make cellular concrete are listed below ;

• ATM C 869
• AMTM C 796
• ASTM C495
