Preconditions and limitations

Cement for LithoPore200 and 300: minimum blaine value 4000 cm2/g

Cement for LithoPore400+: none

RMC mixing system: wet batching system (no truck mixing of

cementitious slurry)

RMC plant mixer: preferable pan turbine mixer

if other mixer (e.g. planetary mixer): only cementitious slurry will be mixed,

foam will be added directly into truck

Maximum distance between foam

generator FG 4 II IND and truck

mixer / RMC mixer: 15 meters
