Frequently asked questions
Q. What is it SOLEID Light weight concrete?
Q. What are the advantages of pre-formed foam?
Q. What are the disadvantages of lightweight concrete, compared to typical concrete?
Q. Is lightweight concrete chemically compatible with common additives?
Ans. Lightweight concrete is compatible with common concrete construction additives; however, most common admixtures are added to plain concrete to effect a change in the characteristics of the concrete that are not applicable to lightweight concrete application performance. As an example, lightweight concrete needs no air entrainment or finishing aids; however, color admixtures and strength enhancing admixtures work well if they are applicable to the project.Q.
