About
Aerated Auto-claved Block
Fly Ash Blocks (Aerated Auto-claved) are used as a
substitute against conventional building masonry such as
red clay bricks and have been widely accepted globally
because of their beneficial properties. The aerating is
caused by a reaction of a mix of various materials
mainly consisting of silica (through fly-ash),
quicklime, cement and others. Fly ash blocks (Aerated
Auto-claved) consist of around 80% air, this aerated
material is processed through autoclaving which entails
high pressurized curing of aerated materials formed in
cellular shapes.
