TECHNICALLY THINGS ABOUT AAC BLOCKS?

AAC BLOCKS: AAC blocks means the Aerated Autoclave Concrete Blocks. It is produced by a using aluminum as a main ingredient with combination of lime, cement and fly ash. During this process of manufacturing hydrogen gas releases and creates lots of small air cells which results in light weight and stronger cellular structure of AAC blocks.  rendering AAC with a strong cellular structure. For further strengthening of these blocks go through high pressure steam curing in autoclaves.

Size and density of AAC Blocks:

· A light weight AAC blocks weight that varies between 9-12 kg as per the moisture conditions.

· The average size of aan AAC block is  around 9″ X 8″ X 4″- 12″.

· The density of AAC blocks normally ranges between 550 – 650 kg/m³.

Properties of AAC blocks

· Heat protection

AAC Blocks are great for thermal insulation because of it manufacturing elements and cellular structure. They create the insulated interiors that keeps out the warm air in summers and cold air winters. This also helps in reducing electricity cost by lowering the use of air conditioners and heaters.

· Eco friendly

These AAC blocks has a go-green nature. Neither their manufacturing causes any harm to the environment nor does its usage. This makes it count as a green building material.

· Earthquake Resistant

It is commonly said that light weight material leads to less earthquake damage. This same law applies to AAC block buildings as well. These blocks are known to withstand the load of category 5 tropical storms.

· Fire safety

The cellular structure of AAC blocks is such that it does not integrate in fire and has the ability to withstand the fire for 4 hours.

· Safety from Pests

The strong and well constructed buildings with AAC Blocks gives an amazing finish to the wall without any cracks and cavities. This also reduces the chance of insects and rodents from there.
