 NUCON BLOCK

NUCON BLOCK is an innovative product from Greenway

Building Materials India Pvt. Ltd. We are located at Paritala
village near VIJAYAWADA on National Highway .
NUCON BLOCKs are ECO Friendly and is proved to be a
cost effective solution by providing around 40% savings at
different levels of construction.
These blocks are manufactured from common and abundant
natural raw materials producing finished product twice in
volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely
resource-efficient and eco-friendly.
We make sure that we produce the high quality blocks using the
state of the art production facility.
Our automated machinery and testing process ensures high
quality for each and every block that we produce.

 What is AAC BLOCKS

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), also known as autoclaved cellular

concrete (ACC), is a lightweight concrete building material invented in the
mid-1920s that simultaneously provides structure, insulation, and fire-
and mold-resistance.
AAC products include blocks, wall panels, floor and roof panels, cladding
(facade) panels and lintels

5
Composition Of AAC Blocks

AAC is produced using no aggregated larger than

sand. Quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime (mineral) and/or
cement and water are used as a binding agent. Aluminum
powder is used at a rate of 0.05%0.08% by volume
(depending on the pre-specified density).

In Our Company we are used, Fly Ash generated from thermal

power plants and having silica content is used as an aggregate.
Cement 18-20%
Fly Ash 70%
Aluminum 0.05 -0.08%
Lime 6%
Gypsum 2 3%
Vegetable Oil 0.58-0.59%

 Advantages
Improved thermal efficiency reduces the heating and cooling load in buildings.

Workability allows accurate cutting, which minimizes the generation of solid waste
during use.

Durability and dimensional stability. A cement-based material, AAC resists water,

rot, mold, mildew, and insects. Units are precisely shaped and conform to tight
tolerances.

 Dos and Dont
Sl.No Dos
1 Surface of AAC blocks to be joined with mortar is
to be wetted with brush / cotton waste or with the
help of a tray filled with 25mm water
2 Use only compatible mortar 1:6 or 1:1:6 mortar (1
cement : 1 fly ash : 6 sand)
3 AAC Masonry should be as per IS Code 6041
(1985) and IS Code 1905 ( 1987)
4 Chases of services in AAC masonry should be as
per IS Code 1905 ( 1987)
5 Use electro mechanical rotary tool for chase cutting
6 Chases should be filled along with plastering and a
layer of chicken mesh is to be embedded in the
plaster over the width of the chase with proper
overlap
Sl.no Dont
1 Dont soak AAC Blocks in water
2 Dont use rich mortars
3 The mortar should not be spread much ahead of
the actual laying of the blocks.
4 Dont deviate from the norms of chase cutting
specified in the code IS 1905 ( 1987)
5 Dont use chisel and hammer for chase cutting
6 Dont fill the chase upto the top surface of the
masonry to have a key while plastering
15
 AAC Masonry ( Some Useful Tips)
The mortar shall not be spread so much ahead of the actual laying of the units that it tends to stiffen and lose its
plasticity thereby resulting in poor bond.

Consistency as per requirement of site should be maintained at the point of laying over bed.

Laying of AAC Blocks masonry shall be in accordance with the recommendations of IS 6041 of 1985 and IS
1905 of 1987. The joint thickness shall be 10mm.

The laying of block may be started either at the corners first or it may be started from one end and proceed to
the other direction.

Lay 10 mm thick cement mortar uniformly over bed. Wet the blocks on all sides by using a tray filled with 20/25
mm water and place them one by one and press it firmly to have proper bond. Fill the joints between blocks.

The first course of cellular blocks masonry shall be laid with great care, making sure that its properly aligned,
leveled and plumbed, as this may assist the mason in laying succeeding courses to obtain a straight and truly
vertical wall.
