Products & Production
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is made by a patented process from the raw materials quartz sand, cement and lime. It is a building material of the light weight concrete category.
The raw materials are mixed with water and a trace of aluminum is added and then cast into big moulds. |
The reaction between aluminum and lime evolves hydrogen gas’ which causes an expanding process forming millions of tiny air pores. Only air remains in the pores.
After a few hours, the raw blocks are machine-cut with high accuracy to form the various ACICO elements. The elements are then steam-cured in autoclaves. |
