Q. What is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC)?
AAC is a lightweight, precast concrete product made by mixing cement, sand, lime, and aluminum powder. The aluminum powder reacts with the other ingredients to produce hydrogen gas, which creates tiny air pockets within the concrete. These air pockets help to reduce the weight of the material while maintaining its structural strength.

Q. What are the advantages of using DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC?
DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC offers several advantages over traditional concrete, including:
Durability: AAC is a durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions.to add
Lightweight: AAC is significantly lighter than traditional concrete, making it easier to transport and install.
Energy-efficient: AAC’s air pockets provide excellent insulation, helping to reduce energy consumption in buildings.
Soundproofing: AAC can help to reduce noise transmission between rooms in a building.
Fire resistance: AAC is resistant to fire and can help to slow the spread of flames in case of a fire.
Q. How effective is Dr.J Autoklav AAC for soundproofing, and what makes it better than other materials?
Dr.J Autoklav AAC is an excellent choice for soundproofing and creating peaceful, quiet spaces. Its superior sound insulation is a direct result of its unique, lightweight, and porous internal structure. This structure helps to effectively absorb airborne noise and reduce sound transmission between rooms, making it a far better choice for interior and exterior walls than traditional concrete hollow blocks.
However, a key point to remember is that not all AAC is created equal. While any AAC can offer some sound reduction, the genuine quality and density of Dr.J Autoklav AAC—manufactured in our modern facility using Tobermorite—ensure maximum effectiveness. We offer a variety of panel and block thicknesses, from 50mm up to 200mm. For partitions where sound insulation is a top priority, we recommend using thicker panels or a double-wall system to achieve the highest acoustic performance, a standard in high-end construction.
While AAC is a powerful tool, it is part of a complete solution. For optimal results, we advise combining our products with proper construction techniques, such as sealing all gaps around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Our technical team is always ready to provide a consultation to help you design a soundproofing solution that meets your specific project needs.
Q. What are the typical applications of DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC?
DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC is commonly used in the construction of:
Insulation materials
Walls and partitions
Floors and roofs
Precast concrete panels
Q. Is DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC environmentally friendly?
Yes, DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC is considered an environmentally friendly building material. It is made from natural materials and has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional concrete. Additionally, DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC can help to reduce energy consumption and airconditioning costs in buildings, which can further benefit the environment.
Q. What are the maintenance requirements for DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC?
DR.J AUTOKLAV AAC requires minimal maintenance. AAC wall partitions are resistant to moisture, heat, termites and seismic activity.
