INTRODUCTION

Foam Concrete is also Known as " Cellular light weight

concrete", "CLC", "Foamed cement", "Light Weight

Concrete" across the world with its greater advantages

from 5 years.

The synonyms are:

o Aerated concrete

o Lightweight concrete

o Porous concrete

ACC Concrete

DENSITY 300-500 KG/M3 MADE WITH

CEMENT & FOAM ONLY

Foam concrete with this densities is used in roof

and floor as insulation against heat and sound

and is applied on rigid floors (i.e. in itself it is not a

structural material). It is used interspace filling

between brickwork leaves in underground walls,

insulation in hollow blocks and any other filling

situation where high insulating properties are

required.

ACC Concrete

DENSITY 600-900 KG/M3 MADE WITH

SAND, CEMENT & FOAM

Used for the manufacture of precast blocks and

panels for curtain and partition walls, slabs for

false ceilings, thermal insulation and

soundproofing screeds in multi-level residential

and commercial buildings. Foam concrete of this

density range is also ideal for bulk fill application.
