AAC construction

    What is AAC?

    Discover the material behind modern construction — lightweight, sustainable, and precision-engineered.

    Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

    Autoclaved aerated concrete also known as AAC, is manufactured from water, cement, lime, silica sand, and a small amount of aluminium powder. The natural composition of these raw materials makes AAC panels sustainable and eco-friendly compared to traditional bricks.

    How is AAC made?

    Similar to regular concrete, AAC is made from water, sand, lime, and cement. However, when making AAC a special expansion agent is added to the mix — here's the step-by-step journey.

    01

    Mixing & Moulding

    The production of AAC begins by mixing raw materials into a slurry state and pouring them into large-scale moulds (a very large cake tin).

    02

    Aeration & Expansion

    The addition of aluminium powder triggers a chemical reaction, creating numerous tiny and finely dispersed hydrogen air bubbles. The process causes the mixture to expand to nearly double of its original volume.

    03

    Cutting to Size

    Once the mixture reaches to a semi-solid state (firm), it is wire-cut into precise panel sizes in a heated room.

    04

    Autoclave Curing

    The sliced semi-solid material will be cured with high-pressure steam in autoclaves for up to 12 hours. During the curing process, high-pressure steam accelerates the hydration of the AAC panels, ensuring every Walsc panels delivered to the site is fully stable and ready to be installed.
