MIXO®Foam is achemical blend of organic compounds intended to assist the generation ofstabilized air-entrainment during the production of low density concrete andmortar systems.
MIXO®Foamisspecifically intended for the production of low density mortar systems such asperlite and vermiculite.
MIXO® Foam issuitable for use in combination with various types of foam generatingequipment, especially equipment that generates foam via air pressure.
Foamed concrete made using MIXO®Foam is lightweight and free flowing. It can be placed easily, bypumping if necessary, and does not require compaction, vibration or leveling.It has superior strength, excellent resistance to water and frost, and providesa high level of sound and thermal insulation. Its heat conductivity is onlyabout 5-20% that of dense concrete.
MIXO® Foam canalso be used as a normal air-entraining agent for conventional concrete andmortars.
§ Floor fill.
§ Roof decks
§ Thermal insulation.
§ Pipeline/Storage tank abandonment.
§ Dams, reservoirs.
§ Highway barriers.
§ Lightweight precast panels.
§ Unstable soil replacement.
§ Back, trench, void and structural fill.
§ Creates a matrix of stable, evenly distributed air bubbles inboth the fresh and hydrated system employed.
§ Prevents segregation of the cement and low density aggregatessuch as vermiculite / perlite or other low density aggregates such aspolystyrene beads.
§ Does not retard or affect the hydration characteristics ofconcrete or mortars.
§ Has all the attributes of conventional air entrainingadmixtures.
§ Compatible with all types of Portland cement, class C and Ffly ash, slag, micro silica, calcium chloride and fibers.
§ Chloride free, safe to be used in contact with thereinforcement.
