Costar LightCrete
Costar LightCrete is a concentrated liquid admixture for concrete to produce foamed concrete that is lightweight and is able to flow for long distances under its own hydraulic head.
Benefits
- Stable air content also after placing the concrete.
- Easily controlled addition of pre-foam to pre-batched mortar allows close control of finished density
- Easy conveyance of lightweight concrete with concrete pump
- Volume retaining and non-shrink foamed concrete even after hardening. Expensive blending equipment is not required as mixing can be carried out in the drum of a ready-mix truck
- Compatible with lightweight aggregates like expanded clay
- Produces a highly mobile foamed concrete that is easily placed without compaction

Uses
Costar LightCrete is typically used for the production of foamed low density concretes which can be used for void filling for the elimination of fire risk, trench filling for permanent, non-sink reinstatement, or as semi-structural support in cases such as embankments, bridge abutments, tunnels, and arches.
