Frequently asked questions
Q. What is it SOLEID Light weight concrete?
Q. What are the advantages of pre-formed foam?
Q. What are the disadvantages of lightweight concrete, compared to typical concrete?
Ans. In the lower density ranges lightweight concrete does not develop the compressive strength of plain concrete. While this may be a disadvantage in plain concrete applications, it is an advantage in a lightweight concrete application. It should be considered that lightweight concrete and plain concrete are typically used for different types of applications. Each form of concrete exhibits a unique family of performance characteristics. Each should be utilized in the appropriate type of project. But a high strength of 33 Mpa has been achieved with a high cement content mix.Q. Is lightweight concrete chemically compatible with common additives?
Q. What additives are common to cellular concrete?
