Costar LightCrete is a concentrated liquid admixture for concrete to produce foamed concrete that is lightweight and is able to flow for long distances under its own hydraulic head.
Benefits
- Stable air content also after placing the concrete.
- Easily controlled addition of pre-foam to pre-batched mortar allows close control of finished density
- Easy conveyance of lightweight concrete with concrete pump
- Volume retaining and non-shrink foamed concrete even after hardening. Expensive blending equipment is not required as mixing can be carried out in the drum of a ready-mix truck
- Compatible with lightweight aggregates like expanded clay
- Produces a highly mobile foamed concrete that is easily placed without compaction
Uses
Costar LightCrete is typically used for the production of foamed low-density concretes which can be used for void filling for the elimination of fire risk, trench filling for permanent, non-sink reinstatement, or as semi-structural support in cases such as embankments, bridge abutments, tunnels, and arches.
