Overview

WHAT IS FOAM CONCRETE?

Isolite Foam concrete, also known as Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) or Low Density Cellular Concrete (LDCC), is a fascinating material that has gained 

popularity in construction and engineering. Here’s a breakdown of what makes foam concrete unique:

Composition:

  • It is primarily made from a mixture of watercement, and foam. Sometimes, sand is added to enhance its properties.

Characteristics:

  • Lightweight: Foam concrete is significantly lighter than traditional concrete, making it easier to handle and transport.
  • Thermal Insulation: It provides excellent thermal insulation, which can help in energy efficiency for buildings.
  • Fire Resistance: This material has a higher resistance to fire compared to regular concrete.
  • Adjustable Density: The density and strength can be adjusted based on the amount of foam used, allowing for versatility in applications.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made from sustainable materials.

Applications:

  • It is commonly used for void fillinginsulation, and as a lightweight fill in construction projects. Its ability to be pumped over long distances makes it ideal for filling cavities and other hard-to-reach areas.

Benefits:

  • Durability: Foam concrete is durable and stable in shape.
  • Cost-Effective: Its lightweight nature can lead to savings in transportation and structural support costs.

Isolite Foam concrete is truly a remarkable innovation in the construction industry.

Isolite is known to be the best thermal, fire-‎resisting, sound-proof insulator, used for ceiling, roofs, walls, partitions, roads, water and petroleum tanks, whether underground, or‎ on the surface, etc.‎

Our Isolite foam concrete premium insulation material is designed for maximum energy efficiency and durability. Perfect for both residential and commercial projects, it provides excellent thermal performance while being eco-friendly. Discover how our insulation solutions can enhance your building's energy efficiency today

Isolite is a light-weight cellular foam concrete made of ‎fine sand, cement, water, and a special  chemical which causes air cells to spread ‎evenly. This resulting mixture can be prepared ‎mechanically on the spot, and to the requested density.‎

Isolite can be produced at several densities varying ‎between 300 Kg. and 1400 Kg/cu.m. (between 19 lbs. ‎and 90 lbs./cu.ft.) to which corresponds a variation of ‎mechanical resistance, as well as thermal conductivity ‎coefficient .‎

Where to use foam concrete?‎

Foam concrete is a versatile material. Its ability to flow easily under its self-weight has led to its use in void filling, reversed beams, old sewerage pipes, wells, cellars, buildings basements, storage tanks, tunnels and subways.‎ It is used too as insulating material on roofs, in housing foundations and floors. Its inherent fire resistance has also been exploited in a wide range of uses. Foamed concrete has also been used in bridge foundations. Other applications include precast elements, in raft foundations of houses, as a foundation-layer for sports fields and athletic tracks, backfilling the voids behind tunnel linings.

 



Foam concrete in Roofing Insulation?‎

Foam concrete has two benefits when used for roofing. It provides a high degree of thermal insulation and  used to lay a flat roof to falls, i.e. to provide a slope for drainage. Foam concrete is also much lighter than slopes made from mortar screeds. This means that a roof with a slope made of foamed concrete imposes a lower loading on the structure of the building.



What about our experience?‎

We have been in the foam concrete business since 1964.



The future prospect of foam concrete?‎

Foam concrete may well be used in the runway organization system, shipping dock collision wall etc.



How long is the service life of foam concrete?‎

The service life of foam concrete is nearly similar to ordinary concrete.



What is the capacity of our foam concrete’s machinery ?‎

The minimum output of machinery produced by our company is 6 cubic m³per hour and the maximum 48 cubic m³ per hour. 



What are the different types of Isolite?‎

Our Isolite-RTUC foaming agent is sold in 2 different types: Dissolved & Concentrated. Isolite is well known in the market since it’s first launching in 1964.
