Your comment isn't very rigorous. Maybe you meant to say in any structural parts of a building. In a seismic or hurricane zone you can use any material; from wool to concrete. Even this type of material. In fact you can use any kind of material in any type of zone. Of course, as you can't use wool as structural component you can't use also aerate concrete for the same thing. but you definitely can use aerate concrete as filling material, like we use (also you in USA), glasswool or mineral wool.
The lax quality-control shown here would be adequate for producing concrete that's safe for use in... I dunno... a doll house? Maybe paver blocks for a private garden walkway...?
Yer killin' me with the jury-rigged Soviet methods. Please don't use this material in any seismic or hurricane zones. Thanks.
@all As far as I know this foaming agent is a protein based agent and is available only in standard metallic barrels of 208 L but you can try at online shops, if you find some, for smaller quantities. You can try also with foaming agents used on fire stations (they use foam in some cases for fire extinguishes)
Due to interest for this video I'll translate the original Romanian post into English:
A simple and inexpensive production of foam needed to obtain the Aerate Concrete.
For a 180l (about 120l course) concrete mixer I used half bucket of cement, three buckets of sand and depending on how wet is the sand I added water (7-10l). And , of course, the foam.
Recipe for foam is 3% foaming agent and water (theoretically). Basically I used 50 ml per liter of water, ie 5%, and for a batch of aercrete I used 1.5 l of 5% diluted foaming agent
My impression was that the solution temperature influences the quality of foam, but I didn't tried to study this thing. My impression was that if the solution is heated by the sun, the foam was more "fluffy"
Of course the recipe can be changed, but I'm happy it came out. Probably a density of 900-1000 kg/cubic meter
The mesh is aprox. 2x2mm aperture with 0.5mm wire diam. and the frame is a 150x50mm rectangle. Of course, all this elements of the "foam generator" are chosen without any study, so I think each one can try other dimensions.
Regarding the foam agent I can't give you details of brand or any other characteristics, except that it is used for aerated concrete.
The foaming agent is mixed with water (3 to 5 %) . It is used for aerate concrete. Unfortunately, I think that is not commercially available in small quantities. Not in Romania anyway. I bought the foaming agent (4 liters) from a small producer of lightweight concrete blocks which are commonly used in private buildings.
I don't understand your question. I don't see anything ON the foam.
The idea of this video is that you can produce the foam without any expensive machinery. The foam "generator" is a simple frame with a metalic net, mounted on a drill.
You can translate the info with Google translate. It's not very accurate, but you'll get the idea.
Eu am avut de turnat vreo 6 mc si am consumat vreo 4 litri de spumogen. De luat l-am luat de la un producător de blocuri BCU. Pentru 4 litri a bănuit el că nu vreau să-i fac concurenţă. Cantităţi mai mici de 200 l nu am gasit nici eu la comercianţi.
This is a very good idea from you to demonstrate that one can make really without big machines foam for lightweight concrete. Thanks for your initiative and good advice.
How much cement do you use? Even the sand as an additive?
But there remains the question of what is it propellant? You do not have a name from the propellant?
In an additional 3-5% on the course is very interesting an economely.
For a concrete mixer I used a recipe of 3 buckets of sand, one and a half cement, 7-10 l water depending on how wte is sand and foam. Recipe for foam is 3% foam agent diluted in water (theoretically). Basically we used 50 ml per liter of water, ie 5% and for a batch I used 1.5 l of 5% solution. Of course, if you put more cement the stronger the concrete will be, but I don't think that a proportion more than 50% cement will do any good.
Hola, soy de Argentina y quisiera saber como ser llama el producto que usas para el cemento? gracias y saludos? mi correo: ministerioduncan@yahoo.com

great work...i want to cast 15 cube of size 15 x 15 x 15cm can u tell me the proportion of cement , sand, water and foam agent, water in foam..??

Excellent video thanks, what is the name of the foam, or where can I have it?

could you use baking soda and vinegar to make the foam and use the soap solution and mix it?

I was wondering about how this would work in an application where you are making a tile.
Is the idea to make this a lighter material/medium to work with, compared to terra cotta
or clay tile? This is kind of intriguing.

If you want to buy some foaming agent in small quantity email info@propump.co.uk ask for Propump26 its great.

As for the Soviet part....
Interest in this video is considerable from US. Even I don't think it's a soviet method.

There is an Italian producer Mibo SRL who had a technical sheet of their foaming agent on their site. I think they still have it
