Aerated concrete is nailable and easy to saw, but like many other insulators, must not be allowed to get wet, or its insulation value is impaired. 5, record 1, English, - aerated%20concrete

Béton léger constitué par des agrégats fins, et dans lequel sont créés des vides sous forme de nombreuses bulles isolées très petites [...] soit par incorporation d'une mousse de savon ou d'extraits d'algues, soit, le plus souvent, par addition de poudre d'aluminium [...] 9, record 1, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20cellulaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les bétons cellulaires [...] sont plutôt des mortiers comportant une multitude de bulles créées par réaction chimique. Bons isolants thermiques, à faibles résistances mécaniques, ils présentent un retrait plus important et une moins bonne adhérence aux armatures que les bétons ordinaires. Sous forme de blocs ou panneaux préfabriqués, ils servent à la fabrication de murs de remplissage non porteurs. 10, record 1, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20cellulaire

D'après le Dictionnaire polytechnique (source BESEN, 1998], dans le béton mousse, les bulles sont produites par agitation mécanique après introduction d'un agent moussant, alors que dans le béton-gaz, elles sont engendrées par réactions chimiques, ordinairement entre une poutre d'aluminium et la pâte liante. 12, record 1, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20cellulaire
