Send-Based AAC Blocks are a type of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) block that primarily uses sand as its main ingredient. These blocks are known for their higher strength, finer texture, and better dimensional accuracy compared to ash-based AAC blocks.
Generally have a finer texture, higher strength, and better dimensional accuracy.
Well-suited for load-bearing walls, foundations, and other structural elements.
Whether you are building a wall, constructing doorways, or installing windows, Blocks Fix provides a reliable bonding solution.
Note: All tests are carried out at manufacture’s end, Specifications are derived internally and based on standard methods. Flexural strength, Pull Off Adhesion and Water Retention is conducted as per EN standard methods.
Sand-based AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) is widely regarded as an environmentally friendly building material due to its sustainable characteristics and efficient manufacturing process. The key features that make sand-based AAC environmentally beneficial include its reduced energy consumption, minimal pollution during production, and the ability to recycle waste materials.
The versatile AAC blocks (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) offer significant advantages during construction due to their ease of handling and adaptability. These lightweight, durable blocks can be easily sawed, drilled, nailed, and milled, making them highly flexible for a variety of applications. The ease of modification on-site allows for quick adjustments to suit the specific needs of a project, reducing time and labor costs.
With excellent sound-absorbing properties, this material is ideal for acoustic insulation in various environments. It is particularly effective in spaces that require noise control, such as educational institutions, recording studios, medical facilities, and religious venues. By reducing sound transmission, it creates quieter, more peaceful atmospheres, enhancing comfort and concentration. This makes it a perfect choice for soundproofing areas where clarity, focus, and privacy are essential. Its versatility extends to office buildings, libraries, and theaters, contributing to better acoustic performance and an overall improved auditory experience.
Due to its minimal capillary action and strong surface reactivity, moisture is effectively prevented from penetrating the closed cells of AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks. This unique property ensures that water is kept from seeping into the material, enhancing its durability and resistance to moisture damage. As a result, AAC blocks remain dry and stable, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, or structural weakening over time. Additionally, this moisture resistance helps maintain the thermal and acoustic efficiency of the material, making it a reliable choice for building projects in regions with high humidity or varying weather conditions.
The blocks should be brushed to remove any dust or loose particles. To neutralize the suction of the blocks, apply clean water to their surface. Allow the water to disperse before proceeding with the application of Block Fix.
Ojas block Fix is a premium quality, ready-to use adhesive for masonry work and has a shelf life of 6 months subject to proper storage in a cool and dry place.
Block Fix is available in 40kg bags and should be mixed with clean water in a clean mixing container. Add 9-10 liters of clean water to each 40kg bag, ensuring the water is added to the container before the Block Fix. Mix the material thoroughly using a mechanical stirrer. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes, then stir again before application, without adding any additional water. Do not use material that has started to harden or form lumps.
The amount of water should be added should be treated as a general guideline. Depending upon the substrate and climatic approx.10 to 12 liters of water per 40kg bag of OJAS Block Fix is required.
Apply Block Fix to the block and lay it within the specified open time. To ensure a uniform mortar thickness, use a serrated trowel to comb the mortar before placing the block. Press the masonry blocks into the mortar, ensuring uniform vertical joints with a minimum gap.
Coverage of OJSA Tile FIX 3mm thick jointing of 1mm square is approx. 100 to 120 sq.ft. The actual coverage in sq.ft per bag of OJAS Block Fix will depend upon the quality and evenness of the substrate.
