- Easy to mix, place and finish
- Cost effective
- Homogenous bead distribution gives good workability and predictable performance
- Good workability enables mixed material to be pumped 100 m horizontally and 30
m vertically.
- No loss of workability, even when pumped long distances
- Mix design variable to produce densities from 200 to 1 000 kg/m3
- Compatible with most finishing products and adhesives
