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.
