Tekfoam

TekFoam is a non-combustible, void-filling, structural cement foam.

TekFoam is a non-combustible, void-filling, structural cement foam. Supplied as a powder, the cement forms a low-density foam (0.25 to 0.35 sg) when combined with the proper amount of air and water in the specially designed Tekplacer unit.

TekFoam mix is typically pumped 400 feet (121.9m) through a 1” (25.4mm) diameter hose, farther through a larger diameter hose. The 20 psi (0.1379MPa) product begins to gel in minutes, forming a non-toxic, non-combustible product weighing approximately 540 lbs/ yd3 (320.4kg/ m3).  Because of its rapid strength gain, the foam material is firm enough to walk on in 30 to 60 minutes.

Advantages

Product Features

• Pumping rate of over 100yds3 (76.46m3) per shift is possible; convenient one bag blend

• Less material to handle; four 45lb (20.41kg) bags will yield 1yd3 (0.76m3 ) - the result is less costly than typical foamed cements or organic foams

• Roof falls and cavities can be supported safely; low causticity absolutely minimizes the possibility of cement burns

• Tekplacer unit meters in proper amounts of air and water while pumping the foam to the site
