Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, also known as A AC, is a lightweight, load-bearing, high-
insulating, durable building material, which is produced in a wide range of sizes and
strengths.
AAC offers incredible opportunities to increase building quality and at the same time
reduce costs at the construction site. As a result of its excellent properties, AAC is used in
many constructions, such as residential homes, high-rises, mid rise apartments,
commercial and industrial buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels and many other
applications.
SPECIFICATIONS AAC can be produced in different sizes.

High compressive strength: AAC is a solid product, therefore making it highly load
bearing. AAC can be used for load bearing and non load bearing partition walls.
COST SAVINGSSince AAC is light weight, if you plan to use the blocks at the conceptual stage of the
building, the architect / structural engineer can reduce the steel reinforcement in the
structure. Mortar joints for walls built with AAC are reduced by 2/3 compared to the wallsbuilt by traditional clay bricks. The AAC blocks are big and hence you pay only for 1/3 of
the mortar cost as it requires less quantity for plastering in the finishes. AAC block is easy
to cut and chisel; the electrical conduits and plumbing pipes can be easily installed and
concealed in the walls. There will be 50% saving in time and labor on masonry, plumbing
and electrical works.
There is a scope for only 0-1% wastage of material.

WATER
RESISTANCE
AAC possesses excellent structural integrity, resisting moisture penetration,
whether caused by wind-driven rain or standing water. Additional weather
and moisture resistance is achieved with a final surface treatment such as
stucco, plaster and paint, or cladding such as bricks and/or other exterior
materials. AAC resists high winds and violent storms. AAC products are very
durable and will not degrade under normal climatic conditions. They have outstanding
durability against humidity and chemical attack compared to traditional material.
AAC is non-combustible and emits no toxic fumes when exposed to fire.
These properties make A AC the perfect building material to withstand
the stringent requirements of building codes. It increases the safety of
the building's occupants and can potentially lower insurance rates.

CONSTRUCTION
AAC products have a dramatic impact on the material's rate of
installation. Walls are both easy to use and quickly installed, thus
enabling a standard crew to install more than four times the square
footage of AAC than a regular masonry application in the same period
of time.
Heating and air-conditioning can be major cost factors in the operating
expenditures of any type of building. Because of its unique physical
structure, AAC provides much greater thermal insulation than
conventional masonry. An analysis shows that a building built with 8”
AAC exterior walls and roof slabs outper forms a building built under
traditional energy savings.

AAC is impenetrable to insects. It eliminates the risk of termites, saving
potentially tens of thousands of rupees, in termite control and repair costs.
AAC is impervious to attack by insects and termites.
PEST
RESISTANCE
AAC is as strong and sustainable as conventional masonry / brick walls. It
is as easy to work with as wood. All AAC products can be easily cut and
crafted with common hand tools. The ability to make straight cuts r eadily
reduces waste in site alterations and saves time. AAC is also lightweight,
weighing one fifth of standard concrete products. AAC is easy to handle,
which reduces both labor costs and construction time.
AAC blocks are manufactured using all natural resources with no
harmful emissions or toxic chemicals. AAC products are completely
environmentally compatible. The AAC production process requires
much less energy compared to other materials. The product's
outstanding energy efficient qualities makes it an excellent example of
environmental conservation. AAC qualifies as a “green” building
material.
AAC provides better sound insulation and absorption qualities than any
other solid building material. This makes it ideal for construction
projects that require a high level of acoustic insulation, such as
apartments, hotels and entertainment facilities. Since its porous
structure is comprised of 60-70% air, the material absorbs much more
sound than conventional brick, effectively reducing sound wave
transmission. AAC has more acoustic insulation properties compared to
more traditional materials, reducing sound transmission.

FINISHES There are a variety of compatible finish materials that can be applied to AAC.
Lightweight stuccos that are vapor permeable, yet hydrophobic so as not to allow
water penetration, are applied as a single base coat followed by a color/texture
coat. Other exterior materials, for instance, brick, stone veneer,
ceramic/porcelain tile cladding, marble and granite cladding, etc., can be
attached to AAC walls. Specialized marble aggregate finishes have been used in
a one coat application.
For interiors, a number of fine plaster products are available whose
characteristics are compatible with AAC. They are easy to use in a hand toweled
or spray application, followed by a texture/veneer coat.
