Applications

  • Roads, tram lines and pedestrian paths
  • Fields and yards
  • Courtyard decks
  • Fills above pipes
  • Building foundations
  • Bridge approach embankments
  • Frost insulation

Foamit 60 is used in roads, streets, pedestrian and cycle paths, railways, ports, yard areas, sports fields, pipe trenches, backfills and base fills, frost protection and building foundations.

Delivery formats

Foamit 60 is sold as loose bulk aggregate and in big bags (1 m³). Loose aggregate is delivered to site by truck, typically 114-150 m³ per load.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the most common questions.

The compaction factor is 1.20-1.23. Once compacted, the dry volume weight is 2.2-2.8 kN/m³ and the density 220-280 kg/m³.

Volume weight depends on the moisture conditions of the structure: 3.5 kN/m³ in a structure with functional drainage, 6 kN/m³ intermittently underwater (up to one month) and 10 kN/m³ underwater long term. For uplift design the value 3.0 kN/m³ is used.

As loose aggregate by truck, typically 114-150 m³ per load, and in 1 m³ big bags.
