AAC Ingredients
AAC is non-toxic, harmless to humans, animals and our precious planet Earth. In addition to the ingredients listed, AAC can also be manufactured utilizing Fly Ash, a by-product of coal. In areas where available, (such as power plants) this is an excellent solution for recycling a natural substance which is currently sent to landfills. |

Wall Construction "R" Values
AAC far exceeds the thermal properties of all other types of material. AAC has achieved the highest fire rating and has been used in fire testing demonstrations by the International Masonry Institute at Omega Point Laboratory facility. |

This illustration depicts the results of a test on an 8-inch AAC structural wall. On one side of the wall, a furnace blasted at up to 2012 degrees F for four hours. The other side of the wall did not begin to warm until nearly two hours. After four hours, the interior surface reached only 167°F.
Numerous fire tests have been performed on AAC products. UL testing yielded such fabulous results that UL built their next laboratory with AAC. An 8-inch thick AAC wall carries a standard 4-hour fire rating. A fire rating of up to an hour per inch can be obtained.
