This is the mixture of sand and cement deposited under high pneumatic pressure
with a machine manufactured under the trade name CEMENT GUN, to which the
required supply of water is added just before the dry constituents emerge from
nozzle. used for encasing structural steel, when reinforced, for floor and roof
slabs and curtain walls. Ideal for swimming pool construction.

 A Portland cement concrete to which a chemical foam is added to generate
gases in the process of deposition, resulting in light weight precast or shop-made
unit in both hollow and solid forms. It is manufactured in solid slabs for short
spans roofs and siding of industrial buildings.

 It is composed of stable silicates, and is inert and thus durable for use as a
lightweight aggregate or for insulation. Its disadvantages are its friability, small
particle size, and extreme lightness. The small particle size requires more
cement, while its lightness, from 8 to 16 lbs. per cu. ft. increases the tendency to
float out of the mortar.
