What is difference between AAC and CLC blocks?
AAC blocks are lightweight building blocks. They are cut into masonry blocks or made into larger planks and panels. CLC is called Cellular Light Weight blocks Concrete and it is also called as Foam Concrete. CLC blocks are made from cellular lightweight concrete or foam concrete.
Is CLC block load bearing?
CLC Bricks Are Available in 3 Grade Strengths: Grade B: These are used as non-Load bearing units & have a brick density in the range of 700 – 1,000 Kg/Cum.
What is CLC block?
CLC Blocks (Cellular Light Weight Concrete Blocks) are made of Cellular Light weight concrete (CLC) or Foam Concrete. Cellular Light Weight Concrete (CLC) is a light weight concrete that is produced by mixing cement and flyash slurry with pre-formed foam.
What is CLC foaming agent?
It is known as Foam Guard. Product Description: Constr ochem India is the manufacturer of synthetic based clc foaming agent concentrate, used to make the light concrete or foam concrete. The foam causes no chemical reaction in the concrete but it acts as a binding for the air entrapped.
What is CLC concrete?
Cellular Lightweight Concrete is also known as CLC. The foamed concrete is manufactured from mixing of Portland cement, sand, fly ash, water and performed foam in varied proportions. This CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete) can be produced at building sites with the use of machines and molds used for normal concrete.
What is the disadvantage of AAC?
Disadvantages of AAC Blocks AAC blocks have brittle nature; therefore, they require more care than clay brick while handling and transporting. The cost per unit of AAC block is high, but overall, masonry cost is low because it requires less mortar for installation.
Who are the manufacturers of CLC blocks in India?
DURABLOC CLC blocks is a quality product from ALM DURABUILD, The Manufacturing ARM of ALM & Company which is engaged in Civil Engineering contracts for over 3 decades. Read moreContact Us Our Mission ALM DURABUILD strives to bring innovative and prefabricated construction technologies to Indian construction industry.
What is the process of making CLC blocks?
CLC is a process based on making air bubbles in the form of a foam and then mixing the foam into a cement slurry.Since CLC slurries have higher cement contents,no autoclave curing is required–instead,the finished product is cured like normal concrete strengthly AAC BLOCKS
What are the benefits of using CLC bricks?
CLC Bricks have excellent compressive strength in excess of regular clay bricks / solid blocks, guarantees min. Compressive strength of 3N/mm2. Bending strength is 15 to 20% of compressive strength. CLC Bricks density is 800kg/m2 which reduces dead load on structures. Huge saving in foundation and structure savings upto 30% on beam costs.
Can a CLC block plant be mounted on a truck?
CLC Blocks Production Plant can be Stationary or Mobile Unit – to be mounted on truck to manufacture CLC Blocks, Prefab reinforced Building Elements, and In-Situ Moulded Housing at site, will save breakage, transport charges and delay, etc. CLC Blocks being light weight the handling and transportation is easy.
