Core Technologies

One universal foam platform, many material systems

Allied's stable aqueous foams reduce the weight of cement, concrete, ceramics, and coatings while adding insulation, fire resistance, and durability. Explore the technologies below.

Cast or Sprayed

Four ways to apply fire-rated foam

Fire rated and easy to handle, ready for precast or cast-in-place manufacture — with good adhesion to steel, non-hazardous, no rust, and solvent-free.

Precast fire panels

Fire Panel — Precast (< 10 pcf)

Fire rated, easy to handle, suited to precast or cast-in-place manufacture.

Fire Panel II at 11.5 pcf

Fire Panel II — 11.5 pcf (185 kg/m³)

Higher-density panel with the same fire-rated, easy-handling build.

Spray application of fire rated foam

Spray of Fire-Rated Foam

Landscape architecture on the roof

The world's first low-slump geotechnical roof fill used Allied's cement composite design, foam products, and machinery. The award-winning, 530,000 ft² facility places more than half its floor area below grade and incorporates three functioning green roofs, with skylights bringing daylight underground.
