    • Synthetic foaming agent: In synthetic foaming agent, the Chemicals are used to reduce the surface tension.

    The speciality of cellular concrete :

    • Cellular concrete is used to form one of the hardened material having an oven-dry density of 50 pounds per cubic foot(PCF) or less.

    Reference code used to make cellular concrete are listed below ;

    Hi Sak,

    I understand your requirements. In the above comment, you find many options.

    There are so many cheap and good cellular lightweight concrete foaming agents are available. It is in the price range of 90 per kg to 500 per kg. I suggest you go with your requirements and type of bricks and cement used as per the instructions of the manufacturer.

    • CLC foaming agent (Standard Grade) – 100/kg
    • CLC foaming agent (Concentrated Grade) – 150/kg
