I didn't see anything on their websites?

These lightweight products are produced by making a foam that is mixed with approved cement slurry mix. A mix may include some fly ash replacing a certain percentage of portland cement. The allowable amount will vary with the density of in-place material. The technical folks with the manufacturers should be able to give you some approved mix designs for your application.
