Costar LightCrete

Description

Costar Light Crete is a concentrated liquid admixture for producing foamed concrete that is lightweight and is able to flow for long distances under its own hydraulic head. Costar Light Crete is used to produce a consistent pre-foam concrete that is stable under alkaline conditions. It is suitable for use in the production of foamed concrete that is light in weight, highly mobile, low density concrete and mortar. The light weight concrete produce using Costar Light Crete can be used in void filling, roof screeds and trench reinstatement.

Features

• The air content remains stable even after the concrete is placed.
• Adding pre-foam to pre-batched mortar allows precise control over the final density.
• Lightweight concrete can be easily conveyed using a concrete pump.
• Foamed concrete retains its volume and does not shrink even after hardening.
• Expensive blending equipment is unnecessary as mixing can be done in the drum of a ready mix truck.
• It is compatible with lightweight aggregates such as expanded clay.
• The resulting foamed concrete is highly mobile and can be easily placed without the need for compaction.

Area of Use

Can be used in producing non-sink reinstatement concrete or as a semi-structural support in cases such as embankments, bridge abutments, tunnels and arches.

Costar Light Crete is typically used for the production of foamed low-density concretes which can be used for: construction, void filling for elimination of fire risk.
