NEW INNOVATIVE LIGHTWEIGHT WALL TECHNOLOGY An innovative new technology is being developed for residential, industrial and commercial building applications. With strength to density ratios approximately double existing products in the market, the new innovative lightweight wall technology can potentially be used in both non-load bearing as well as load-bearing applications. - bulk densities approximately half that of conventional concrete - compressive strengths up to 30 MPa ( up to 4 times stronger then traditional autoclaved aerated concrete ) - excellent thermal and sound insulation properties - non-combustible, good fire rating - cost saving through fast speed of construction and ease of handling COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH This new technology is the result of a recently completed commercial R&D program with UiTM, KUiTTHO, UTM and a few other agencies. This 2 year R&D program redeveloped the technology to a pre-pilot stage and included development of practical advanced manufacturing procedures and extensive materials and structural testing of the new product. The R&D program was supported by the Malaysian Government through an R&D START grant from the IRPA R&D Industry. All you need to obtain foam concrete are a foam generator and a foaming agent, as foamed concrete is simply a mixture of a cement mortar slurry with foam, which can be prepared in an ordinary concrete mixer, or even without it, if only a small quantity of the material is necessary. ROOFING INSULATION Low-density lightweight concrete has great thermal insulation properties. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION (panels, blocks, partitions, etc.) Lightweight concrete density and therefore strength is adjustable during production and can be adjusted to the customer's choice of form and size. FLOOR CONSTRUCTION Lightweight concrete levels, raises, isolates, speeds up and reduces the cost of making floors. FIRE BREAKS Lightweight concrete is inflammable and therefore prevents fire from spreading when used to fill spaces between floors and ceilings.The production of lightweight concrete is simple and can be described with the following steps: Preparation of cement mortar slurry with appropriate proportions Production of foam Mixing the two to get a single material: Lightweight Concrete Materials ( LCM) Lightweight foam concrete's biggest advantage is the fact that it can be produced right on the spot of construction, which is possible thanks to the foam generator, a compact tool which ensures constant foam production and quality control. The produced LCM can be used for casting into the necessary shapes, or can be pumped straight to where it is required.
