A durable porous article of manufacture and a process to produce same

摘要

An acoustically absorbent porous panel formed from a cured aqueous foamed cementitious material comprising on a wet basis of about 53% to about 68% by weight cement, about 17% to about 48% by weight water, about 0.05% to about 5% by weight fiber, and about 0.01% to about 10% by weight surfactant. The panel also has pores distributed within the cured material comprising about 75% to about 95% by volume of the material. The cement-based, foamed panel provides good acoustical performance with enhanced durability and moisture resistance.
