Foaming Agent (for Aerated Concrete) FAQ
Q: What is the shelf life of your Foaming Agent (for Aerated Concrete)?
A: Our Foaming Agent (for Aerated Concrete) has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in original sealed containers at recommended temperatures. After opening, we recommend using the product within 3 months for optimal performance. Always check for any separation or discoloration before use.
Q: Can your Foaming Agent (for Aerated Concrete) be used with all types of cement?
A: Yes, our formulation is compatible with Portland cement (Type I, II, V), white cement, and most blended cements. However, we recommend testing with specialty cements or when using supplementary cementitious materials exceeding 30% of binder content.
Q: How does temperature affect the performance of Foaming Agent (for Aerated Concrete)?
A: Temperature significantly impacts foam generation and stability. Ideal operating temperatures range between 15-30°C. Below 10°C, foam generation may require higher air pressure, while above 35°C may reduce foam stability. Adjustments to dilution ratios might be necessary in extreme conditions.
