An insulation material formed of a composition, and a method of making an insulation material is provided. The composition forming the insulation material includes magnesium oxide; at least one of magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and hydrates thereof; water; a foaming agent; a thickener; and a foam stabilizer. The composition is foamed to promote aeration of the composition to reduce density of the insulation material formed from the composition.

A foaming agent, more particularly for the foaming of a building material/binder paste for producing pory lightweight-construction and insulating materials, is improved in terms of its stability and usefulness at relatively low outdoor temperatures. The foaming agent in the form of an aqueous-organic solution comprises or consists to an extent of at least 85 wt % of the following constituents: a) a surfactant component which comprises at least one foam-forming ionic surfactant, b) a fatty alcohol component which comprises at least one fatty alcohol and at least one ethoxylated fatty alcohol in a FA/FAEO mixing ratio of 95:5 to 0:100, c) a glycol component which comprises at least one constituent of the group of alkyl glycols, alkylene glycols up to C6 alkyl, diglycols, especially alkyl diglycols and diglycol ethers, and water.
