Biltech AAC Blocks

Biltech Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (often shortened to Biltech AAC Blocks) is effectively
concrete with lots of closed air pockets in it. It is lightweight and energy efficient, and is produced
by adding a foaming agent to concrete in a mould, then wire cutting blocks or panels from the
resulting cake, and cooking (curing) it with steam (autoclaving). AAC is well known as an
environmentally friendly construction material. It is manufactured from common and abundant
natural raw materials and the finished product is up to twice the volume of the raw materials used,
making it extremely resource-efficient and environmentally friendly. The energy consumed in the
production process is only a fraction compared to the production of other materials. The
manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no by-products or toxic waste products.
Biltech AAC Blocks is a load-bearing block, which also provides thermal and sound insulation as
well as fire protection, thereby eliminating the need for many different layers of materials. The
workability of AAC helps to eliminate waste on the jobsite.
The use of Biltech AAC Blocks can reduce indoor air pollutants. Biltech AAC Blocks is
completely inert and does not emit toxic gases, even when exposed to fire.

Benefits:
1. Faster assembly
2. Material available through out the year
3. Cutting,chasing,nailing,etc. easily possible
4. Better sound aborption
5. Enhance the seismic resistence of the building

Biltech AAC Blocks

Sr.No. Paramaters Bricks
1 Saving in steel 15-20% No saving in steel

2 Quality Uniform Quality due to mass Non-Uniform Quality

production in the factory

3 Compressive strength 30-35 Kg/cm2 20-25 Kg/cm2

4 Cement Consumption Less consumption of Mortar due to More consumption of
flat surfaces. Cement due to uneven
surfaces

Column & Beam size reduced and NO saving in Concrete

so less Concrete Required

5 Labour Required Less labours required More labours required

6 Sizes availabe Available in sizes of 3", 4", 5", 6" Available in 4", 6", 8" &
8",9" thickness 9" thickness

7 Carpet area More Carpet area is availabe in Less carpet area available
same built-up area due to less due to more width of
widths of walling walling

8 Construction time Speedy construction due to its big Slow constructions due to
size small size

9 Chemical Composition Flyash used app. 60 % which Soil is used which

reacts with binders(Lime & contains many inorganic
Cement) to form AAC which is an impurities like sulphates
inert material etc which results in
efflorescence

10 Energy saving 30 % (app.) i.e Air-condition Load No Saving

both heating and cooling will
come down.

11 Additional Properties 1. Light weight ( Density 650 -------------

Kg/m3). Ideal for adding storeys
to existing old building. A Boon
for increased FSI and TDR
beneficiaries.Reduces dead
weight on the foundations and
structural members. Thus
economy in constructions

2. Highly insulating ( K value: 0.81W/(mK)

0.16 W/(mK). Therefore saves
25% cost of installation and also
recurring cost of Electrical
charges.

3. Highly Fire -resistant and 2 Hrs

incombustible (4 Hrs for 150mm
AAC Block

4. Sound Absorption : -----------

 Absorbency of airborne sound for
4" is 39-40 db. Helps to cut off
sounds. Less sound pollution

There are other important distinguishing properties too, which

differentiate Biltech AAC Blocks from red brick:

1. Biltech AAC Blocks is stronger and possesses better compressive strength than red brick
2. Biltech AAC Blocks can be used as the heat insulator 6 times better than red brick
3. 2 4 times lighter than red brick which helps to save the structure
4. Heat prevention in summer, energy consumption from using air conditioning can be saved
up to 60%
5. Biltech AAC Blocks can be nicely plastered without causing any crack problems. Only 10
mm of plaster thickness is require which helps to reduce plaster mortar usage up to 60%
6. Biltech AAC Blocks can be easily cut and can be rapidly laid since it is 3 times larger than
red brick
7. Biltech AAC Blockscan resist the fire for longer than 4 hours
8. Biltech AAC Blocks possesses better sound insulation (without an echo) than red brick

Applications:
1. Residential Constructions
2. Commercial Constructions
3. Institutional Constructions
4. Hotels and Hospitals
5. Multi-storeyed Constructions
6. Indstrial Constructions
7. Insulation Purpose
8. Add on Floors and Extensions
9. Crafts and Murals
