The Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) first came into existence in 1924 in Sweden. It has become one of the most used building materials in Europe and is rapidly growing in many other countries around the globe. Aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) blocks are a high-quality building material that offers a unique amalgamation of strength, low weight, thermal insulation, sound absorption, unmatched fire and thermal resistance. AAC blocks are steam-cured mixture of sand or fly-ash, cement, lime and aeration agent. These blocks are composed of tiny non-connecting air bubbles that give AAC blocks incredibly diverse qualities and make them terrific insulators. The AAC blocks are known as natural and non-combustible building material that has excellent fire resistance that saves energy and is eco-friendly in nature.
Description
AAC blocks provide the highest level of security against fire and meet the most rigid fire safety requirements. Because of their mineral composition, AAC blocks can be a non-combustible building material. In contrast to other construction materials, AAC blocks are fire-resistant upto 1200℃.
AAC blocks contribute significantly to fire safety, so while constructing the inner walls, outer walls should also be erected with AAC blocks.
AAC Blocks are highly fire-resistant, so in case of a fire breakout, it will help in preventing the spread of the fire to other rooms. When exposed to a fire, no toxic gases or vapors are emitted from AAC blocks and thus saves precious lives.
AAC blocks can also be used as a firewall to prevent fire from spreading, thereby protecting lives and economic assets. In general, a firewall may last up to four hours. However, firewall made from AAC blocks with 150 mm thickness can resist for at least six hours. Depending upon the thickness of the AAC blocks, they offer fire resistance between 2 to 6 hours. These blocks are highly suitable for areas where fire safety is of utmost priority such as hospitality and healthcare sector, educational institutions, residential and commercial complexes and many more.
Conclusion
The exceptional performance of AAC blocks when exposed to fire, they become an ideal solution for the building structure and interior spaces that require a fire rating. AAC blocks can serve as fire separation walls between town houses, apartments and other multifamily dwellings. AAC blocks are also appropriate for hospitality and healthcare sector besides educational institutions and movie theatres because of their excellent fire resistance property.
