Precast Aircrete/Foam Concrete Panels - How To Mix and Pour

[@Theheirheirophant]

#thankyouforsharing You've saved me alot of money with the dish soap method. The 2 week watering until curing is a bit challenging outside summer season. I will give this a try with much discipline and patience on my end. I loved your quick video, you've totally helped me alot with practical explanations. #keepupthegreatwork #newsubhere from Arizona, Usa desert. Cheers 🍻

[@cornpop7805]

Beautifully done video! You included a lot of detail, and did so with economy as well as precision. You covered some potential pitfalls, and you included the necessary information and techniques to avert them. Independent of the subject matter, I'm truly impressed with your presentation. Add to this, the fact that you and your guys were still being productive during the video, and I conclude that this production was impossibly well done!

[@RovanRCTube]

I have an idea, I am to old to start a new venture, but someone out there may want to pursue this idea. I would like to build aircrete logs. Based on the toys we all played with when we were kids, Lincoln logs. These could be pre-manufactured so really almost anyone could buy the logs and construct a building. There would need to be different lengths made say like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 feet etc. There would need to be some that had special ends with channels for doors and windows. There could be some that are pre wired with wall outlet boxes and switches. Logs could be pre-colored or surfaced in some cases. A building could be constructed permanently by bonding the logs together, or could be temporary and disassembled and moved. I think this could be an amazing new business that could revolutionize small buildings. And it would allow for any person to DIY.

[@jerry-cw9yw]

Unless one wanted to do it for aesthetics, it would be too much extra work over what is shown in the video.....3 sided post with a round side like a square log house...? chinking a cement log? too much work....just saying

I've seen people making foam blocks with 37.5 kg gypsum 2 kg cement mixed in 50 litres of water and foam. They set hard enough to be unmoulded in 15 minutes. They are then stacked for curing

[@russelldsyder1344]

Exactly. Gypsum has much shorter processing time making overall maturing faster

Clever. I like your folding method of mixing the foam, as well as your particular particularness in execution. Relatable.

[@k0fcalifornia]

Yeah i agree. I can see why people are easily discouraged after a few failed attempts. Fortunately for me im stubborn as hell and determined to get things right.

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

@@k0fcalifornia We were pretty determined too and gave aircrete a good try. We made some successful batches, but once it started getting cold last fall, none of them turned out any good. We didn't want to wait until spring, so we went with a more conventional build, which ended up being cheaper anyway. Best wishes!

[@charlesbartlett2569]

Thank you for sharing. It’s a nice consistent mix you are making. My mix looks about the same but I am not adding any sand. I use a double paddle mixer which makes a well blended mix in about 7 - 10 minutes per 90 liter batch.

[@brandonstahl3562]

One issue I've seen but I had the same problem... it's with the drop you then add too much foam for the proper mix from domegaia or elosha lenoff, but everyone wants to mix strong aircrete, not soft insulation. I find it works well with extra foam and cement... also type 3 sets up faster with less water, it almost sets to fast to mix... next I was looking into temperature, too cold and it will fall before it sets, so I was looking in to heated molds vs warm water.... plus no well water!... hard water is very bad for foam!... another thing I'd like to try is superplastisizers and setting agents.

While making chiffon and sponge cakes with beaten eggs whites, one tries to fold in the air foam egg whites carefully without breaking the bubbles. One technique is to thoroughly mix a bit of fluffy foamy eggs white in thoroughly and then to more carefully fold in the rest. I wonder if that would work for cement. It needs to be mixed thoroughly for consistency and strength, but you want to preserve the bubble loft as much as possible. .......mmmm, interesting you are saying it "grows" so that means some kind of chemical reaction keeps it bubbling more so it isn't quite like sponge cake batter, although that uses baking powder, too, so I suppose it is. No wonder it works, though.

Great no-nonsense video!! I suspect that _not_ any soap will do, many have lotions & nonsense in them, which make them fundamentally bad at being soap. Does the water HAVE to be clean? I'd kinda like to see this made with a whey-protien based 'graphene' suspension instead of tap water. Fine styrene pellets can work well too (in lieu of suds), if you have enough access to waste styrofoam, and a good way to grind it. Seems a bit more stable.

[@franciscoborges3137]

Fraternal greetings. Excellent video with explanation of the whole process. I'm from Brazil and I use google translator. I have been looking for information on the manufacture of foam for lightweight concrete for a long time. Today, watching your video, I saw the whole process of preparing this foamy agent. I would like some information: 1- When preparing the cement mix, what quantities of cement, water and sand were used? 3- When preparing the foam, 500 ml of liquid soap and 30 ml of glycerin were used. How many buckets of water have you used in relation to these two ingredients? Grateful for the attention.

[@fredzo628]

Really interesting work you are doing. Just want to make a comment about your experience with type 1P cement. You may be able to get even more positive results by using 1P. Because Pozzolans can have water reducing properties, you may be able to design a mix using this cement and reducing the water content which will actually reduce the permeability while increasing or maintaining the same plasticity or workability. The ultimate strength might even be a little higher. Curing should be the same time allowed

[@patshotts8024]

Great video, if your using the Domegia recipe they don't mention adding sand. How much sand are you using per mix?

Hey, I mention domegaia with regards to my foam solution, I found the domegaia aircrete mix too soft so increased the density with the additon of sand. To one 40kg bag of cement I add 30kg of sand to be around 600kg per 1m3 density.

[@charlesbartlett2569]

I have built several interior and exterior walls using the following mix design placed in slip forms and block forms. 2:1 Cement:Water Slurry Mix: 25 kg cement slowly added while mixing into 12 liters of potable water in a smooth bottom 100 liter plastic barrel or trash can. Mix very well so that you have no clumps or settlement on the bottom. This is a critical step. Check to make sure it is blended. You will have failure if it isn’t blended completely. I use a Klutch Double Auger Mortar Mixer. It is variable speed. A concrete mixer doesn’t rotate fast enough to properly blend the slurry. I have tried this method and failed. Use a mortar mixer. Foam Mix: 1 liter of dish detergent (the right one varies by country) in 12 to 15 liters of potable water depending on the detergent quality. It will take experimentation to find the right local detergent that yields long lasting, small bubble suds at 90 - 100 grams/liter. In Mexico I use the brand Eficaz. Dawn also works great but is over 3 times as expensive. Axiom didn’t work. Salvo didn’t work. Mix detergent into water slowly by hand using a pvc pipe or broom handle taking care to not create bubbles. Aircrete Mix: Slowly add approximately 80 liters of aerated foam bubble mix to the bottom of the barrel over 3-5 minutes while mixing to make approximately 90 liters of aircrete. I add the foam right between the augers to get it blended rapidly. You can add less foam to make a stronger mix with a lower insulation factor (R value) or more foam to make a weaker mix with a higher R value depending on the intended use. I use less foam for ceiling panels so I can walk on the roof. I use more foam for an interior wall with studs. Happy Mixing! You can use an interior steel reinforcement like WWF, chicken wire or other animal fencing to add tensile strength and reduce cracking. I also use a fiberglass mesh on the surface to stop cracking, spalling and add tensile strength. You must do a stucco or other finish to weatherproof exterior surfaces. Aircrete is not waterproof! It will weather and disintegrate if left exposed to rain. I use gypsum board on interior walls as well as a finish to hide cracks and provide a durable surface.

@@roek7630 Sand is only a filler. In general the higher the mix density the higher the strength because mix density is typically a function of the cement:water ratio. Sand will add minimal strength and will likely settle to bottom of the mixing barrel. If you do try sand I would use the finest gradation of sand possible to reduce settlement.

[@charlesbartlett2569]
