Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Attributes

1.AAC is lightweight, about a fifth the weight of concrete.
2.AAC works a lot like wood. It can be cut, drilled, shaped and sanded with hand or power tools. Electric chases are easily sawn or routed in. A variety of fasteners are available to meet pull and shear requirements.
3.AAC is non-combustible with a UL fire rating of 4 hours for a 4 inch non-load bearing wall. Also, when exposed to fire, AAC gives off no toxic gases.
4.AAC has unique thermal properties because of its cellular structure. It combines high heat loss resistance for a masonry material with excellent thermal inertia resulting in an overall 'mass enhanced R-value'.
5.AAC has exceptional sound absorbing characteristics. Because the material has a porous structure containing 60-70% air, it performs as an acoustic insulator to reduce sound transmission.
6.The manufacturing of AAC materials is a pollution free process that makes best use of a minimum amount of energy and natural resources, resulting in a premier green building material.
