Goodcell™ Foam Technology Advantages

Goodcell™, Green Products for a Better Environment

Goodcell™ foamed concrete mixes provide cost savings as well as many environmental benefits:

  • Goodcell™ mixes can incorporate waste products such as used tires and high percentages of fly ash, recycling these materials rather than disposing of them in environmentally hazardous ways.
  • Concrete building materials made with Foamcell™ mixes have very high R-values and therefore are extremely energy efficient. Construction is simpler and does not strain limited lumber supplies.
  • Flowfill applications using Flowcell™ mixes reduce energy consumption by eliminating the need for compaction. Less energy is required for the transportation of the fill because the foam can be generated on site. A truck containing 10 cubic yards of concrete can place up to 40 cubic yards of fill, reducing truck traffic by 75%.
  • Drainage systems created with Permacell™ mixes can control runoff and erosion while reducing the energy required in typical construction activities.

  • Goodson and Associates patented technology provides for infinite variation in foam bubble characteristics: bubble size, permeability, strength, fire resistance, texture, etc.
  • Goodson and Associates can provide technical support in mix design development, sample preparation and testing (i.e. mix designs, variation for strength, density, permeability using local materials).
  • Goodcell™ A-100 chemical can be simultaneously mixed with cement and water without degradation (false set). Therefore, it can be used with Volumetric Mixer Applications (flow fills, etc.).
