Yes tx I must have missed this but most of it its not available in Australia (where I live) and its bit pricey to get it from USA .
I think its a good idea if people from different country can write what sort of local foaming agent they used for their project. -

Contact this company and get a sample and make some foam at between 70 - 100 gr/lt. Then mix up a batch of AirCrete and test it! You would want to get their produict called EXTREME SDS White as that is a version that makes white foam rather than pink or blue.

Just saw you were in the Philipines.
You can check with this company and let them know what you are looking for, such as a blend of concentrated foaming surfactants that has a foam stabalizer.
They may give you some samples to test:

hi Tx for answer
No I'm still in AU but probably next year Im gonna move to Phi .
Do you where In Au I can buy this Drexel F.M.-160 Foam Concentrate ? I emailed Tasman Chemicals but they haven't to bother to answer it . -
Hi All, I just got my gallon of Drexel FM 160 foam agent. I have been experimenting with Ivory Dish liquid and 2x Dollar General concentrate. I got some good looking solid blocks with the Ivory. The Dollar General 2x concentrate made good looking foam but it evaporated quickly and I got horrible crumbly concrete out of it. This Drexel foam makes beautiful rich foam and it lasts a LONG time on the ground. I can tell a difference how it mixes with the concrete. It looks like I will get great block out of it. Stephen

Dawn / Seven Generation / Drexel. It was not even close... -
