Autoclaved aerated concrete (aerated concrete), which is called AAC for short in the world, is a special type of lightweight porous concrete that is mainly made of materials based on silica, cement and lime. The product, now called ACC, has been developed in Sweden for the last 70 years. This product includes two main processes of creating porosity in the slurry of a mixture of cement, lime and silica powder and processing the resulting concrete by autoclave. Adhesives, which are mainly cement and lime, react with silica materials in the autoclave process to produce hydrated calcium silicates.

The porous structure of ACC, which is formed due to the reaction of free lime from cement, lime and aluminum powder compounds, has suitable thermal properties (thermal insulation) as well as a higher bulk density ratio than other types of concrete.

The product obtained after autoclaving does not require further processing and the produced parts can be used after cooling.

Due to the fact that aerated concrete has low weight and suitable strength of non-builders, its main applications include lightweight building blocks for the construction of partition walls, as well as reinforced aerated concrete components for non-load-bearing applications such as roof filler panels and non-load-bearing walls. Appeared. Also, aerated concrete is produced in different volumetric masses and strengths, depending on the intended application. It should be noted that aerated concrete is not used for structural applications.

Synthetic surfactants (such as sodium dodecyl sulfate) made from petroleum products

Protein-based sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids (alkyl carboxylic acids), such as lauric and myristic acids. Usually made from animal offal.

Up till now, the protein-based agents are found to be better suited for making FC, until we find a synthetic or plant-based one that has a better performance. Depending on how well they are refined, protein-based can have a shorter shelf life and can produce a smell in the FC. Each manufacturer claims to have a superior product.

Plant origin

This type is an alternative if you do not want to use the other types.

FOAM AGENT ISOCEM S / BN 100% VEGETABLE, ISOCEM S / BN is the new product of the Isocem range, foaming agents for the production of Foam concrete. It is more concentrated and 100% plant origin.
