The light-weight concrete manufactured with , has many advantages among which are:

• A volumetric weight of 1/5 or 1/8 of the weight of a normal concrete. This is why when it is used in remodeling or repairing, it can eliminate the need of additional reinforcing of the structure and modifications in the foundations.
• It has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, it might be useful in certain places where these characteristics are fundamental, and also as a filling in decks with extreme weathers as well as for its lightness underany situation.
• Is is a material with great elasticity and flexibility. Due to these characteristics it does not transmit vibrations and reduces fracture, and still has an excellent resistance to impact.
• When temperature rise the dilatation of the cement paste is absorved due to the flexibility of .
• The mantaines itself homogene and stable, no mather its weight, including during the pumping.
• is compatible with any type of sand. It is inherente in the mix because of its composition, one more reason for reassuring that the quality of the concrete will depend on the quality of the cement, sand, and water used in the mixture.
• Some other characteristics are the following:
  - It is not combustible
  - Non toxic
  - Water resistant, it has an absortion from 3% to 5% of its weight in
    water depending on its resistance to compression.
  - It is not atacked by animals, insects or parasites.
  - It can be used with or without reinforcement.
  - It can be nailed, screwed, and sawed.
• The concrete elaborated with is compatible with all chemical additives used in normal concrete.
