  • Versatility: Nanolite AAC blocks are versatile in design and construction, suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.

3. Production Process:

Nanolite's AAC blocks are manufactured using a highly efficient and environmentally friendly process. The production process involves the following steps:

  • Raw Material Preparation: Sand, cement, lime, gypsum, aluminum powder, and water are carefully selected and mixed to create a uniform slurry.
  • Aeration: Aluminum powder is added to the slurry, which reacts with the alkaline components to produce hydrogen gas. This gas creates tiny air bubbles throughout the mixture, resulting in a lightweight, cellular structure.
  • Molding: The aerated slurry is poured into molds of desired sizes and shapes, where it is allowed to expand and cure under controlled conditions.
  • Autoclaving: The molded blocks are then placed in autoclaves, where they undergo high-pressure steam curing at elevated temperatures. This process ensures proper hydration and chemical bonding, resulting in high-strength AAC blocks with excellent properties.

4. Applications of Nanolite AAC Blocks:

Nanolite AAC blocks find application in various construction projects, including:

  • Residential Buildings: Load-bearing walls, partitions, and cladding.
  • Commercial Complexes: Facades, interior walls, and fire-rated partitions.
  • Industrial Facilities: Warehouses, factories, and workshops.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Bridges, retaining walls, and sound barriers.

Conclusion:
Nanolite AAC blocks offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance solution for modern construction projects. With their lightweight, high strength, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and sound insulation properties, Nanolite AAC blocks provide builders and developers with versatile and environmentally friendly building materials that meet the demands of diverse construction applications.

The Air Entrainment Method

At Nanolite, The Air Entrainment using metal to generate hydrogen for AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) production to rise the volume of concrete by 70% represents a cutting-edge innovation in the construction industry, particularly in regions where traditional concrete blocks are costly to produce or transport, such as hilly areas or remote locations.

Remote Locations

AAC blocks produced using the rising method offer versatility in design and construction, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, and locations. From residential buildings to commercial complexes and infrastructure projects. Their lightweight nature, high insulation properties, and ease of handling make them an ideal choice for challenging terrain and remote locations.

Increased Volume

The introduction of hydrogen gas into the concrete mixture significantly increases its volume compared to traditional concrete. This expansion allows for the production of larger blocks or panels with the same amount of raw materials, maximizing efficiency and reducing production costs.

Transportation Cost

AAC blocks produced using the rising method offer significant advantages in terms of transportation savings, particularly in hilly or remote areas where transporting heavy traditional concrete blocks can be prohibitively expensive. The lightweight nature of AAC blocks reduces transportation costs, as more blocks can be transported in a single trip, requiring less fuel and manpower.
