What is the adhesive for AAC blocks?
Adhesive for AAC blocks are specially formulated adhesives made from cement, lime, sand and specialized polymers. Some companies also use fly ash in the formulation. These adhesives replace the 8-12 mm thickness of mortar to just 3-4 mm. There are many advantages when compared with conventional cement sand mortar.
What are the advantages of AAC blocks over concrete sand mortar?
There are many advantages when compared with conventional cement sand mortar. 01. Thin Joints: Only 3-4 mm of adhesive is sufficient to join AAC blocks as compared to cement sand mortar, which takes 8-12 mm thick mortar joints. Hence the jointing material is reduced by 75\%.
What is the manufacturing process of AAC blocks?
Fig 2: Flow Chart of Manufacturing Process of AAC Blocks. The preparation of raw material consists of mixing fly ash with water to form fly ash slurry so that the fly ash can be mixed with other raw materials such as cement, gypsum, and aluminum powder in the required proportion.
Do AAC blocks need to cure before use?
No curing is required neither for AAC blocks or adhesive. High tensile strength is achieved in less time. As the thickness of the adhesive is very thin, it eliminates the shrinkage cracks in joints. As the adhesive is polymer-based, it has low VOC and suitable for green buildings.
