7. Introduction
Formed as a result of
reaction of Aluminum on a
proportionate blend of lime,
cement & Fly ash, the
hydrogen gas that escapes
creates millions of tiny air
cells giving it a strong
Cellular structure which is
further strengthened by
high pressure steam curing
in Autoclaves known as
AUTOCLAVED AERATED
CONCRETE .

Environmental Impact
One clay brick consumes 3.2 kgs of top soil No top soil consumed
One sq ft of carpet area with clay brick
walling will consume 25.5 kgs of top soil
Uses fly ash which is a thermal power plant
waste product & thus no consumption of top
soil
One sq ft of carpet area with clay bricks will
consume 8 kgs of coal
One sq ft of carpet area with AAC blocks will
consume 0.9677 kgs of coal
One sq ft of carpet area will emit 17.6 kgs of
CO2
One sq ft of carpet area will emit 2.13 kgs of
CO2
Social Impact

Applications
36. • Jointing Mortar is to create Thin (2-3 mm) Mortar Joints in Block work.
• The application results in faster, cleaner and accurate system for
construction particularly with AAC blocks of close dimensional
tolerances.
• High Quality, greater productivity, air tightness and waste reduction.
• No water curing is required.
• Higher thickness of conventional mortar joints, results in shrinkage,
leading to separation cracks at beams soffits resulting in water
percolation.
• Very less chances of water percolation through the joints due to
denseness and water repellent properties.
• Economical and hassle free application with improved line and level in
walls.

50. • Water proofing is important in all
types of Buildings, Multiplexes,
Swimming Pools, Water
Reservoirs, basements, etc.
• Considering seepages/ leakages
through walls/roofs especially in
high rain fall areas like Mumbai -
Pune, Goa, Konkan belt,
Southern Gujarat, etc., Seal &
Dry can be used as original
construction material to be
applied over plaster/ RCC slabs
directly.
• Repairs of shrinkage cracks,
dampness in walls, pools, water
retaining structures, wet areas
like kitchens, bathrooms, etc.
Applications
56. • Base coat product over
plaster for interiors and final
finish for exteriors.
• Super Stucco coat can be
applied directly on Concrete
surfaces. Thickness of
stucco coat is about 3-5mm
against conventional plaster
of 10 to 12mm.
• Excellent Crack Filling
Material.
• Finish much superior to any
existing products.
• Self curing material.
