  • Foamed concrete composition and process
    Patent number: 6153005
    Abstract: The present invention describes fluorochemical foam stabilizers used in combination with surfactants to yield foams that are exceptionally stable in cementitious media. The stabilized foams that incorporate these fluorochemical agents are useful as novel ultra-lightweight foam aggregates in concrete compositions of tailorable density, strength, and other properties. Methods of making concrete compositions that include such foam aggregates are also described.
