2. ACC Concrete
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
3. 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.
4. 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.
