Foamalite concrete is a type of lightweight concrete
made from mixing preformed stable foam into slurry of
cement, fly ash, sand. This action incorporates smallenclosed air bubbles within the mortar thereby resulting
in a lightweight stable cellular material with densities
ranging from 500 kg/m3 to 1600 kg/m3.
Foamalite Concrete is very light in weight, Very Low
Water Absorbing, Fire Resistant, Highly thermal insulate,
Energy Efficient, Sound Insulate, and offers excellent
strength in its category conforming to BIS standards and
above all it qualifies as a Green Building Product.
