Description
AAC is a lightweight Aerated Autoclaved Concrete Block. It is suitable for multistoried structures as it is lighter than standard-size bricks and blocks. The use of AAC blocks in construction reduces the dead load significantly and ensures less steel and concrete usage. This product requires a lesser number of joints, which results in saving jointing material, time, and labor. AAC is manufactured through a reaction of aluminum on a proportionate blend of lime, cement, and fly ash. During this process, the hydrogen gas that escapes creates millions of tiny air cells, rendering AAC block with a solid cellular structure. This is further strengthened by high-pressure steam curing in Autoclaves. The product thus formed is not only lightweight but also has higher compressive strength.
