AAC concrete panels are widely used in the exterior and interior walls of various building structures. As a wall material, AAC concrete panels balance construction efficiency and environmental performance. AAC concrete panels are made from siliceous materials and calcareous materials as the main raw materials, with added aerating agents and other adjusting agents. In the production process, a steel mesh cage or steel mesh sheet treated with anti-rust coating is used, and the panels are made through autoclave curing and other processes to become porous and light prefabricated panels.
AAC concrete panels originated in Europe, as the name for such products at that time was called Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, i.e., AAC, and AAC concrete panels are traditional products in Europe.
The raw materials of AAC concrete panels are silica sand, cement, and other inorganic materials that are non-combustible and non-supportive of combustion. A 100mm thick panel has a fire resistance limit of up to 4 hours, exceeding the first-grade fire resistance standard. Additionally, AAC concrete panels do not age and have good durability, matching the lifespan of various buildings.
The dry weight ratio of AAC concrete panel material is 0.5, making it a concrete product that can float on water. Its bulk density is one-fifth of that of concrete, significantly reducing the load-bearing capacity of the structure, with a maximum cubic compressive strength of 5.0MP.
The raw materials of AAC concrete panels are inorganic materials, which are non-radioactive and new-type green building materials. Additionally, the materials have anti-corrosive properties.
A 100 mm thick panel has a sound insulation value of 36 dB, offering good sound insulation and sound absorption, creating a high air-tight indoor space that provides a quiet and comfortable living and working environment.
The thermal conductivity of AAC concrete panels is 0.14, which is 10 times that of ordinary concrete. The thermal insulation effect of the 130mm thick material can achieve that of an ordinary 370mm brick wall.
The building envelope will not suffer significant damage under strong wind or seismic forces. AAC concrete panels have strong earthquake resistance. In a 1:1 simulated earthquake test, after experiencing an earthquake with an intensity of 10.5 degrees (1.2g), all panel materials of the tested building model remained intact, with no damage to the panel installation nodes.
