The purchasing pace at the demand end of the international thermal coal market continues to slow down and the international thermal coal price continues to decline. Prices for thermal coal at major international ports continued to fall last week as buyers in Europe slowed in recent days for April, coupled with weaker-than-expected import demand from End users in China. According to China Coal Market net monitoring:  Australia Newcastle port thermal coal price index was 253 USD/ton, compared with 309.02 USD/ton, down 56.02 USD/ton, down 18.13%. South Africa's Port Richards thermal coal price Index was $264.5 / mt, down the US $62.72 / mt or 19.17% from US $327.22 / mt. The European ARA Tri-port thermal coal price Index was $281.8 / ton. Does the price of thermal coal in major international ports continue to decline to affect the price of the Cement Foaming Agent? 

Cement foaming agent is the core material of foamed concrete. Choosing a suitable cement foaming agent is the key to producing qualified products.

1. Fully understand the type of cement foaming agent

Different types of foaming agents have different foaming power and foam stability, so there are certain limitations in the use process. Only after knowing the type of foaming agent can you understand its performance characteristics. When choosing a foaming agent, you can have a target.

2. Carefully master the technical indicators of foaming agents

The main indicators to measure the quality of foaming agents include foaming power, foam toughness, and bleeding volume. The foaming power reflects the foaming ability of the foaming liquid, which can be expressed by the foaming height and the foaming multiple. The higher the foaming height and the larger the foaming multiple, the stronger the foaming power of the foaming agent.

3. Carefully understand the use of foaming agent

The foaming agent on the market generally has a relatively high concentration, and when used, it needs to be diluted with a certain proportion of water to form a foaming liquid, and then the foaming liquid is foamed. The concentration of the foaming liquid is closely related to the foaming effect. Too high or too low a concentration will affect the foaming effect. Only with a suitable concentration can a high foaming ratio and high-quality foam be obtained.

Foaming agent production characteristics

1. The foaming speed should be appropriate, too fast or too slow will affect the quality of concrete.

2. The diameter of the generated hydrogen bubbles should be small and evenly dispersed. Especially when the cement slurry is poured into the injection mold under the full volume state, it needs to be evenly dispersed to ensure the quality of the injection mold.

3. The setting and solidification of cement shall not be affected when gas is generated. If the setting of cement is delayed, the strength of the cement will decrease or abnormal cement setting will occur.

With Tesla's new factory in Germany starting production, Volkswagen is just weeks away from finalizing plans for its 2 billion euro ($2.2 billion) electric car factory, which it hopes will bring it closer to its U.S. competitor. Tesla says it takes just 10 hours to produce a Model Y at its new factory in Grunheide, near the German capital, while Volkswagen takes three times as long to produce its ID.3 electric car. Volkswagen's productivity has been increasing by around 5 percent a year, said Christian Vollmer, head of the production at the Volkswagen brand.
The improvement in the efficiency of production vehicles will bring opportunities for Cement Foaming Agent. In the future, the demand for Cement Foaming Agent will become more and more extensive. Please feel free to contact us for the latest news on Cement Foaming Agent.
