MATERIALS
FOAMCRETE-E

METHOD OF USE: PRECAUTIONS:

CHRYSO FOAMCRETE-E is supplied as 'ready for
use' pack and should be added to the mix with
gauging water.
Generally, higher the dosage rate, greater the air
entrainment but mixes with low workability
requires a higher dosage rate to give a specified air
content. In addition, concrete having a low cement
but high sand content will require less CHRYSO
FOAMCRETE-E than a cement rich, low sanded
concrete. Other factors to be taken into account
include aggregate grading, strength requirement,
yields and temperature.
Foamed concrete made by CHRYSO FOAMCRETE-E
of lightweight and free flowing. It can be placed
easily by pumping and does not require compaction
or leveling. It has superior strength, excellent
resistant to water and frost and provides a high
level of sound and thermal insulation.
Preferably store in sealed conventional
containers, protected from extreme
weather conditions.
Over dosing of CHRYSO FOAMCRETE-E will
normally produce an increase in air content,
workability together with loss in
compressive strength.
SAFETY:
Our products are generally Non Toxic and Harmless
, provided protections are taken during handling .
Wear protective clothing , eye glasses , gloves etc.
In case eyes or mouth are affected wash with plenty
of clean water and seek medical treatment
immediately.

DOSAGE:
As a guideline, the rate of addition generally varies
between 250 gm to 700 gm per 50 kg of cement. The
optimum dosage should be determined by site trials
with the particular mix depending upon the density,
mixing method , starting materials , aggregate
grading, strength requirement and temperature.
