10. As the AAC block is very easy to handle, manipulate
and use ordinary tools for cutting the wood such as the
drill, band saws, etc. could be easily used to cut and
align the AAC. Moreover, the AAC blocks come with
larger sizes and fewer joints. This ultimately results in
faster construction work as the installation time is
significantly reduced due to fewer amounts of blocks
and the masonry amount involved is also lowered
resulting into reduced time-to-finish.
11. AAC products do not contain any toxic gas substances.

Environment and Eco-Friendly:-

AAC is a non-toxic product which does not pollute the air,
land or water. During the manufacturing process, waste from
the cutting process is recycled back with raw materials and
used again. There is virtually no waste generated. The energy
consumed in the production process is only a fraction
compared to the production of other materials. The
manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no
by-products or toxic waste products. AAC is manufactured
from natural raw materials. The finished product is thrice the
volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely
resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Nice & useful article

but there is one doubt krishnaji ,

The plaster mortar is get properly stick to

these AAC blocks for lifelong?

Krishna Author February 25, 2018

Yes u can use traditional mortar for this.

https://civilread.com/technology-aac-blocks/ 9/12
10/12/21, 1:30 PM AAC Blocks: Aerated Autoclaved Concrete Blocks |

There are also special types of mortar available

in market for joining AAC .

One of them is fixoblock which is premixed in

factory. The advantage is u need to add 20% of
water to fixoblock and lay it in brick with a
thickness of 3 mm where traditional bricks
required 20mm

Dear krishna,
Is it plastering necessary over the ACC wall..
bcoz the accuracy of the construction is 99%
so the remaining one percent we can
manage through applying putty or pop
punning etc..
