How are AAC Blocks made?
AAC blocks are made from a mixture of sand, cement, lime, gypsum, water, and an aerating agent. The aerating agent is typically aluminium powder or paste, which reacts with the other ingredients to release hydrogen gas. This gas expands and forms bubbles within the mixture, resulting in a foam-like substance. The mixture is then poured into a mold and cured under steam pressure and temperature, resulting in hardened blocks
