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.
Highest fire barrier rating per ASTM-E119 — vermiculite-free and non-hazardous. Cast as panels or sprayed directly onto steel, it protects an A36 H-beam for 4 hours to 2,000°F.
Densities from over 1,450 kg/m³ (90 pcf) down to 48 kg/m³ (3 pcf) — for geotechnical fill, landscape architecture, lightweight roof decks, wall and floor panels, partitions, blocks, and insulative cinder-block inserts.
The "wood-like flexible cementitious foam" that earned the 2014 Edison Award Silver Medal. High flexural strength and clean Mandrel bending without cracking, plus strong adhesion, exterior durability, and excellent water resistance.
Flexible and very light — under 1.5 pcf (24 kg/m³). Various geopolymer foam composites achieve an insulative value of R > 3.8 per inch together with strong fire resistance.
Fired ceramic foams at densities as low as 23 kg/m³ (1.5 pcf) with excellent strength and thermal-shock resistance — durable firebricks used as high-performance insulation for kilns and incinerators.
Pervious and non-pervious foamed cement for waste encapsulation, soil stabilization, and leachate filtration. As a long-lasting surface cover on landfills, ponds, and lagoons, it suppresses odors, vapors, litter, and vectors.
Tested on identical A36 steel H-beams by a major thermal testing laboratory.
Allied fire barrier panels and boards show the highest compressive and bending strengths versus autoclaved and cast-in-place foam cement products, all measured at 35 pcf.
| Cement Composite | Cure Condition | Density | Compressive Strength | Bending Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AFT Fire Barrier Foam I | Room temp. | 35 pcf | 900 – 1,000 psi | 370 – 500 psi |
| AFT Fire Barrier Foam II | Room temp. | 35 pcf | 650 – 750 psi | 300 – 350 psi |
| AFT Portland Cem I/II | Room temp. | 35 pcf | 400 – 450 psi | 100 – 200 psi |
| Autoclaved Concrete | Autoclaving | 35 pcf | 600 – 700 psi | ~100 psi |
Values as published by Allied Foam Tech. Fire Barrier Foam I leads both compressive and bending strength at equal density.
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.
Fire rated, easy to handle, suited to precast or cast-in-place manufacture.
Higher-density panel with the same fire-rated, easy-handling build.
Sprayable with good adhesion to steel — non-hazardous, no rust, solvent-free.
Vertical spray with strong adhesion — non-hazardous, no rust, solvent-free.
For buildings taller than 420 feet (128 m) per SFRM — Spray-applied Fire Resistant Material.
All foam products are supplied in concentrated form, available in 55-gallon drums or totes. Foam generators output from a few liters to hundreds of liters per minute.
90 pcf down to 3 pcf for geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture, roof decks, panels, partitions, blocks, and cinder-block inserts.
Open and closed-pore structure similar to urethane and polystyrene foams — without their poor fire resistance, and with outdoor durability and cost advantage.
Strength and thermal-shock resistance for durable firebricks used as high-performance insulation in kilns and incinerators.
Flexible, under 1.5 pcf, reaching R > 3.8 per inch with strong fire resistance.
Specially formulated foam used as a long-duration firefighting barrier for the containment of forest fires.
Controlled film thickness with improved resin distribution; foamed adhesives reduce consumption and prevent absorption by porous substrates.
