What is the AAC Panel and AAC Block?

AAC Panel is the shortened form of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Panel.

The main materials of AAC panel are silicon sand, cement, lime etc.
Reinforced with anti-stain processed steel bar, the concrete panel with many
air holes was formed after high-temperature, high-pressure protection with
steam. It’s a new type constructional material with excellent functions.
There are patents of Germany and Sweden and Japan included in the
production equipments. The complete production process, from mixing raw
material, anti-stain processing of steel bar, organizing into frame, pouring
paste on, cutting, steaming and pressing to surface processing, is calculated
accurately with computer program and has a rigid QC control.

AAC Block is the shortened form of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Block.

The difference of the AAC block from the AAC panel are: 1) no reinforced
steel inside 2) sizes are smaller than AAC panel
AAC Production Process
1.Raw material Preparation
Mix silica sand, cement, calcium lime, and gypsum, and then add a little aluminum powder to the slurry.

2.Steel bar Assembling

Assemble the anti-rust treated steel bars into mesh frames, then put them into the moulds, and pour the
material slurry

3.Foaming
Chemical reactions begin after the pouring of the slurry. Bubbles appear evenly in the mould structure.
The bubbles emerging at the time will determine the performance of AAC panels.
4.Cutting
After the structure gains its early strength foaming and waiting, cut with piano wires and get the needed
length, width, and thickness of the panels.

5.Autoclave Treatment
Use autoclaves to treat AAC panels and make them hardened in high-temperature and high-pressure
steams.

6.Post-Processing
Decorative patterns will be made on the surfaces of the autoclaved panels that have been treated in
autoclaves, according to the customer’s requirements.

7.Quality Inspection
All panels will undergo strict quality inspection in order that their good quality is ensured.

8.Delivery
Only products strictly inspected can be delivered.
Features of the AAC panels and AAC Blocks

Lightness The dry specific gravity of the AAC panel is only

0.5 because it is one kind of foamed concrete. As the above rate is 1/5
of common concrete and 1/3 of
hollow block, it lightens the self-weight of building, reduces the cost of base and frame,
cuts down the difficulty in process
of soft groundsill, and increases the construction quality.
 Sound Insulation A lot of micro and small air holes that are inside
the AAC panel cause multi-function of sound insulation and assimilation. The
high precision of panel can create a
fine air keeping space to supply a silent and comfortable living environment.

Heat Insulation A lot of micro and small air holes that are inside of
the AAC panel form a static air layer in the material and make the rate of
heat transmission of only 0.11W/m.K.
The function of heat insulation and preservation of the AAC panel is 10 time of
common concrete. The function
of heat preservation of AAC panel at 125mm thickness is same as 370mm wall of soil-
block.

Anti-Vibration It is world-wide outstanding known of the anti-

vibration ability of AAC panel. Only the constructions built with AAC panel
are broken lightly at heavy earthquakes
at Osaka/Kobe.
The tests in the laboratories of Tongji University and Southeast
University in China show that the AAC panel has excellent
function of anti-vibration. The light self-
weight of AAC is the main cause, as it allows bigger angular distortion between layers and
the allowed changing angle is
1/150.
 Fireproofing The AAC panel can stand against fire as the low
rate of heat transmission. The self of AAC belongs to abio-compound and is
not burnable. It doesn’t produce
nocuousness gas. At Tianjin National Fixed Anti-fire System Center, it passed the test for
fire bearing of 240 min limit.

Load-bearing The AAC panel can bear wind load, snow load and
dynamic load.
There are following types of the AAC panels:
Outside wall panel
Inner wall panel
Roof panel
Floor panel
The steel ribs inside of AAC panel are arranged by CAD
according to loading situation, that the capacity of loading is obtained.
In general, the loads of building are:
Constant load (incl. self weight and floors)
Living load
Snow load
Wind load
The effect of earthquake

NO Radioactivity Test by authority department, the radioactive rate

is 12rµ/h, further less than the stand of WHO, is a no radioactive
green environmental
construction material.
