آیا فوم قوی تر از بتن است?

While foam concrete is a wonderful solution for many residential and commercial projects, homeowners and business owners alike may wonder, Is it as strong as normal concrete?

The answer depends on the type of foam and the specific needs of the project. به عنوان مثال, epoxy foam is a popular choice for coating and resurfacing concrete surfaces as it provides a tough, durable layer that is resistant to chemicals, تاثیر, abrasion and thermal shock. It can also be used to fill cracks and voids and create surface texture, making it ideal for applications like sunken concrete lifting where the entire slab must be raised without sticking to the foundation wall.

در مقابل, expanding foam is not only much lighter than concrete but it also does not stick to walls or other surfaces. It can be mixed in a sprayable form, making it easy to apply and allowing the user to reach hard-to-reach spots. And since it consists of up to 80 درصد هوا, it is naturally insulating and sound-absorbing.

Another benefit of using expanding foam is that it is waterproof. While concrete is water-resistant, it is not always totally waterproof, especially when it sits in a hole that sees rainfall. I’ve seen videos of fence posts that are set in concrete and then the fence starts to wobble over time. This is often caused by a lack of a solid base in the ground or because the concrete was not mixed well.
