"A high temperature can cause the foam to collapse because it expands the gas bubbles in the concrete and lowers the surface tension in the foam. Based on the results of the temperature measurements, a synthetic foaming agent that was considered to have better tolerance at high temperatures was substituted for the animal protein-based foam that had been used... where the foamed concrete had collapsed."
