Foam concrete used as sound-absorbing and energy-absorbing material

Wholesale gas prices in the Netherlands and the UK have risen 20 percent recently amid concerns about Russian supplies.

The EU plans to cut its dependence on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and stop importing Russian fossil fuels by 2027. Russia exported about 155 billion cubic meters of gas to the EU in 2021.

The US recently said it would try to supply 15bn cubic meters of LNG to the EU this year. U.S. LNG plants are running at full capacity, and analysts say much of the extra gas the U.S. sends to Europe comes from what should have been exported elsewhere.

The German government called Russia "an unreliable energy supplier". Even though the German government claimed that they have been preparing for the situation for a long time that Russia may stop sending gas one day, experts say it is hard for the EU to replace all of Russia's gas exports any time soon.

The supply and prices of many concrete foaming agent will continue to be influenced by international situations.

Sound-absorption function

The open-cell foam concrete is an excellent sound absorption material, while the closed-cell foam concrete is an excellent sound insulation material.

Materials with an average sound absorption coefficient greater than 0.2 are usually called sound absorption materials. There are two kinds of traditional products: fiber (rock mineral wool board, etc.) and porous (foam and foam glass, etc.). Foam concrete is a new type of porous sound absorption material, and its average sound absorption coefficient is 0.8-1.4, which is a strong sound absorption material and can reach the first or second grade standard. It has great market and competitive advantages in the following aspects.

1.     Outdoor sound-absorbing materials (road, railway sound absorption barriers)

Foam concrete outdoor sound absorption material market is mainly the sound absorption barriers on both sides of highways and railways. At present, the sound absorption barriers used in roads are mainly sawdust cement board and foam glass board. The former has a low sound absorption coefficient, which can not meet the needs of high-speed railway, and is not beautiful, while the price of the latter is too high. The foam concrete has good sound absorption performance and can meet the sound absorption requirements of any road, but the price is very low.

2.     Sound-absorbing materials of indoor walls

Indoor sound absorption has sound absorption ceiling and sound absorption wall. Foam concrete has a great market advantage in wall sound absorption. Compared with rock mineral wool and other fiber sound absorption board, it does not have the disadvantage of itching all over the body during cutting and installation, and the strength is good, and the price is also low. In the subway wall, this product will have a big market, in large shopping malls, station waiting rooms, theatres, conference halls and other building walls also have a huge market.

3.     Sound insulation sandwich composite board (partition sheet)

The existing indoor partition is in the wooden keel on both sides of the installation of 5 "10" paper plasterboard, the wall is empty, not sound insulation, not strong, can not be nailed. The foam concrete composite sound insulation board is 5 inches thick and occupies a small space, the two surfaces are colored decorative layers, and the middle is 4 inches thick foam concrete, which has both isolation and sound insulation effect, and is twice as fast as installation, so it is welcomed by consumers.

Energy-absorption function

1. Used in energy absorption in airport protection.

Foam concrete has very strong impact resistance. Ordinary concrete can be broken with a sledgehammer, but it is difficult to break foam concrete. Making use of its energy absorption, a number of high value-added products have been developed, such as airport safety protection foam block, racing track safety protection foam block, road accident prone zone safety protection foam block and so on. When an aircraft or a car rushes out of control out of the runway or road, it enters the foam block protective belt, which stagnates and protects the aircraft or vehicle intact due to the impact absorption performance of the foam block.

2. Used in shooting and explosion energy absorption protection.

Foam concrete has a good absorption effect on bullet shock wave and explosion shock wave, which can greatly reduce the destructive power of shooting and explosion. In terms of anti-explosion, there are two types of products of development significance and civilian use.

According to the bank of Spain's latest forecast data, the average inflation is expected to hit 7.6% in 2022, but the average wage increase for workers in this country is expected to be less than 4% in 2022. 

If the Bank of Spain's forecast comes true, the gap between price and wage growth in Spain in a single year will be the largest since 1984.

Prices in Spain rose 9.8% year on year in March 2022 and average wages rose 2.4% year on year, with the Bank of Spain forecasting that the country's inflation rate will improve from July.

Recent changes in the international situation have had a big impact on commodity and energy prices. How the prices of the concrete foaming agent will develop in the future is still uncertain.
