Fire Resistance
Thickness (mm)
Edama foam concrete is an inorganic material and therefore incombustible. Tests carried out in several countries, including tests to ASTM standards, show that a loadbearing
foam concrete slab wall, 15 cm thick, has a fire resistance exceeding 7 hours.
Water Absorption
Due to the cellular structure of foam concrete water absorption of this material is much
less than normal dense concrete.

of CLC
Concrete
Durable, long lasting material resulting in less waste and less energy cost to society
Energy efficient with high equivalent R-values and smaller A/C systems typical
Low density (as low as 1/4 that of regular concrete) means significantly less sand and cement consumed contributing to a lower embodied energy than common building materials
Does not rot, is not attacked by termites, does not absorb moisture into its core and is mold
and mildew resistant resulting in less maintenance and less waste generated through maintenance
Breathable material that removes toxins from the air and naturally maintains a low relative
humidity
Its lightweight means lower freight loads and less energy consumption and pollution during
transportation
The outstanding balance of source reduction, energy efficiency, low embodied energy, absence of toxins and ozone depleting substances, and noise reduction make cellular lightweight concrete the ultimate green building material.
