One of the most important reasons for using Elastizell lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) is its excellent flowability, stability, and low density. The air bubbles added to the cement paste reduce the friction coefficient against other materials within a void cavity, allowing the material to flow rapidly into a void cavity and fill all available space.
Elastizell lightweight cellular concrete is an engineered mixture of portland cement and water slurry, combined with preformed foam to create air voids within the solution, that act as a strong, lightweight, durable, and inexpensive alternative to soil or fill replacement for many geotechnical applications. LCC’s lightweight property reduces ground settlement and improves the bearing capacity and the static and seismic stability of the structure surrounding the void. Given that an LCC mix is highly flowable, which allows for easy pumping and long-distance transportation in hoses. Lightweight cellular concrete can be efficiently and safely placed in confined or problematic void cavities and other areas where the placement of other types of fill is difficult, if not impossible. These attributes make Elastizell lightweight cellular concrete an excellent, safe low-cost solution for all void fills.
Elastizell Systems' ability to expertly mix on-site requires only bulk deliveries which reduces truck traffic. Elastizell Systems has provided exceptional lightweight concrete applications and solutions for more than four decades.
