Can cellular concrete be over mixed?
Mixing until there is a reduction of volume of product is not recommended. Air cell stability is the mark of LCM liquid foam concentrates and our LCM Foam Generators. With typical mixing procedures, lightweight concrete formulated with LCM pre-formed foam is very stable even with modestly extended mixing times. • How far can lightweight concrete be pumped? Lightweight concrete is a very easily pumped, highly fluid mixture. The bulk of lightweight concrete is placed by pumping. Lightweight concrete typically will move through the pump lines using less pressure than typical heavier grout mixes • How do you finish lightweight concrete? Most lightweight concrete is left to self-seek a level and not surface “finished” in the traditional sense. Much lightweight concrete is covered by another material. A floor overlayment type smoother tool can be used simply to break the surface air cells and create a more uniform and polished look to the surface in the rare case when a more uniform surface
