• Can be produced in a range of densities (75 – 1600 Kg/m3)– The lower density range of 75-600 kg/m3 is most suitable for use as insulation

over roofs, prefabricated insulation panels or as filling in sunken areas of floors– The mid-range density of 600-1000 kg/m3 is excellent for making non-load-

bearing cladding panels or pre-cast blocks for non-structural filler wallmasonry

– The higher density range of 1,200-1,600 kg/m3 is used in structural elements,either as reinforced components or in the form of block-work for load bearingmasonry wall.

• Closed cellular structure– The intrinsic structure of the aerated concrete consists of very small sized

unconnected individual air bubbles, uniformly spaced over the body of thematerial

– Due to absence of coarse aggregate (gravel), aerated concrete flows by itselfinto the moulds, shuttering and any cavities, thereby avoiding the necessity ofcompaction or vibration.

• Ease of production– Aerated concrete may be cast into pre-cast blocks or pre-cast reinforced

panels for walling, roofing etc. or poured in-situ, into appropriately reinforced dwelling units or specific structural elements in a building

– It can also be easily produced in hilly areas or in deserts since it has limited requirements for the materials

• Lower water absorption– As a consequence of the closed cellular structure of the material, the water

absorption of aerated concrete is in the range of 5% to 25%, depending on density thus, lower than that of Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) blocks which is in the range of 45%.

– As a result, aerated concrete provides excellent protection of the reinforcing steel and does not require to pre-coat steel bars in reinforced elements. When using AAC, because of its high absorption, it is mandatory to pre-coat the reinforcing steel.
