CEM3 or FR4 PCB, which is the lightest material?

There is nothing about weight in the substrate datasheets I found. Between CEM-3 or FR4, which is the lightest material ? What is the average weight by surface for CEM-3 boards ?

CEM-3 is lighter than FR4,the average weight is about 3.5KG/sqm. but now most of PCB manufacturers less use CEM-3 material to make PCB,almost use FR4 material.

Why did the SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards?

I am a buyer in a telecom company. Recently, an important order of SMT PCBA is delayed due to insophiscated production of a supplier. I am thinking about replace it and just very puzzled about how did their SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards. That slows down the whole process.
