Abstract :Lightweight concrete types have gained attention today due to their diverse range of applications. Cellular concretes such as aerated concrete and foam concrete hold a significant place in the construction sector due to their sustainability and recyclability. These materials stand out for their high efficiency, offering properties such as thermal insulation and fire resistance. In particular, pore size and distribution in foam concrete are among the most critical factors determining the mechanical strength and insulation performance of the material. In this context, understanding the chemical composition and properties of the foaming agent in detail is essential for achieving the desired performance. Surface-active agents, known as surfactants, are important components widely used in foam concrete production. The correct selection and application methods of surfactant types are crucial for ensuring that the concrete achieves its targeted properties. This study aims to examine the characteristics of various surfactants and contribute to meeting the desired performance criteria in foam concrete production.Keywords : Köpük beton, Köpük ajanı, Yüzey aktif madde
