After Russia pledged to scale back its military operations around Kyiv and in northern Ukraine, the prices of most industrial metals fell, led by aluminum, showing people's concerns for supply shortage eased.

At an earlier time, the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which aroused concerns about the supply problem because Russia is a major producer of nickel, aluminum, and copper. 

Russia is also a major gas supplier to Europe, where potential supply disruptions are seen as hitting power-intensive aluminum and zinc production.  

"Hopes that Russia and Ukraine will reach an agreement to end the conflict have led to a sudden change in prices," said one metals analyst.

The prices of other commodities like the Cellular Concrete Foaming Agents are still very uncertain.

Introduction to Cellular Concrete:

Cellular concrete or cellular lightweight concrete (clc) consists of cement, water, and preformed foam. Foam allows a relatively high proportion of stable air voids to mix into the mixture, and thus a cellular or porous solid can be produced after curing of the mixture. The air content in cellular concrete is between 10% and 70%. When cellular concrete hardens, it can reach an oven-dry density of 50 lb/ft3 (8 t/m3).

 

Production Process of Cellular Concrete:

The production process is divided into two steps. In the first stage, a foam generator is used to make microscopic stable foam: solution of the foaming agent is fed into the foam generator to generate a dense foam. In the second stage, the foam is mixed with a cement slurry. Normally, the dry density of such mixture is between 250 and 1600 kilograms per cubic meter. When the cellular lightweight concrete is used for insulation or filling purposes, the density is between 400 and 800 kilograms per cubic meter.

 

Applications of Cellular Concrete:

Flat top heat shield;

Fire prevention of wood flooring and steel structure works;

Fabrication of light beams, blocks and panels;

Fill old underground pipes, abandoned tunnels, sewers, cisterns, shelters and basements, repair ditches;

Sound insulation. 

 

Cellular Concrete Foaming Agents:

The properties of the cellular concrete, like the thermal resistance and sorptivity coefficient, are strongly influenced by the type of foaming agent used. Currently, there are two types of foaming agents available, protein based foaming agents and synthetic foaming agent.

U.S. oil prices surged about 10% to $105.14 a barrel. This is the highest level since 2014. The world benchmark Brent stock futures oil price soared by about 8% to $105.40 per barrel. The most direct rise in crude oil is inflation. The rise in oil prices means that people's food, clothing, housing, production costs, and living costs will rise. The direct impact is the price of goods. Rising purchasing power declines, and the currency depreciates.
Affected by the rise in global oil prices, the price of the Cellular Concrete Foaming Agents also fluctuates. If you want to know the Cellular Concrete Foaming Agents, please feel free to contact us.
