Performance & Local Capability
Develop a transferable process with local manufacturing setup, operator training, and agreed quality checks.
Equipment selection follows the intended output and local utilities, with settings and performance confirmed through commissioning measurements.
Review the advantages →Foaming-Agent Applications
Control foam quality from concentrate to concrete.
The agent, dilution water, foam generator, cementitious mix, and placement method form one process. Establish project-specific acceptance criteria and verify them with repeatable trials using the intended materials and equipment.
Concentrate and dilution
Prepare the concentrate using the current supplier instructions and clean, suitable water. Confirm dilution by measured quantity, then record batch identity, water conditions, and actual concentrate consumption.
Stability and cellular structure
Foam stability and bubble distribution affect handling and the resulting cellular matrix, but appearance alone cannot establish hardened performance. Check drainage, density, mixing response, and representative cured specimens against the project's test plan.
Cement and sand compatibility
Cement type, sand grading, water chemistry, admixtures, mixing energy, and sequence can change foam response. Test the proposed combination before production and adjust only within a documented mix-design and quality-control process.
Yield and cost per cubic metre
Dilution ratio is formulation- and process-specific; use the technical data as an initial guide, then verify foam properties and concrete yield through trials. Calculate cost per cubic metre from measured concentrate use, actual production yield, water and material costs, losses, and local pricing rather than a generic ratio.
Thermal and acoustic objectives
Cellular concrete may be considered where lower density and an air-cell matrix support thermal or acoustic design objectives. Quantified values depend on density, thickness, moisture, workmanship, and the full assembly; use test evidence and project engineering before making performance claims.

One material, many ways to build
Every project is scoped around the same inputs: intended use, target output, local material sources, available utilities and acceptance criteria. Formulation, foam generation, mixing, transfer, placement and inspection are planned as one workflow, not as separate operations.
No dilution ratio or cement-to-sand ratio can be fixed in advance. The recipe is established from product data, the mix design and the materials on site, then qualified through trial mixes before production release. A generator delivers steady foam only inside its verified operating envelope, with output matched to mixing and placement; capacity, pressure and flow are confirmed with equipment data and commissioning measurements. Pump and hose performance follow the mix, the route, the lift and the rate of placement.
Foam density, fresh concrete density, workability, material consumption and interruptions are recorded on a repeatable sampling plan. Placed material is protected, and curing, demoulding, loading and follow-on trades follow approved project criteria and strength evidence; curing time varies with formulation, geometry, temperature and humidity. In SIP assemblies the formwork is never removed, so the wall arrives already formed and insulated, with any insulation or cladding contribution designed and verified for that assembly.
