This material Submittal document covers ACICO - Aerated Concrete Industries Co. W.L.L.
material details; Physical properties, Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet of Autoclave Aerated
Concrete AAC.
1.1. ACICO Introduction.

Qatar Aerated Concrete Industries Co. W.L.L. was established on 13th November, 2005 as a
joint venture between Nasser Bin Khaled & Sons Holding Co. (51%) and Kuwait based ACICO
Industries (49%). The company was established to cope up with the demand for AAC Sustainable
building materials in the construction industry of Qatar, in keeping with the architectural renaissance
taking place in the State of Qatar nowadays.

Currently AAC production growing and widespread in Gulf area. However, in other parts of
the world it has been used successfully as a building material for over fifty years. Concrete masonry
material that is lightweight, easy to construct, and economical to transport. Its light weight is
accomplished through the use of evenly distributed microscopic air bubbles throughout the material;
these bubbles result in a lightweight concrete that is composed of a latticework around spherical
voids.

We Produce Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) both Reinforced Building materials such as
Wall Panels(Exterior &Interior), Floor / Roof Slabs, Lintels, Stairs and Non-Reinforced building
materials such as lightweight blocks and jumbo blocks of different sizes. Could be used for Exterior &
Interior walls. With the latest technology available today.

1.2. ACICO Products.


1.2.1. ACICO AAC Block.

ACICO blocks are suitable for load bearing and non-load bearing walls. ACICO blocks are
delivered ready for use and packed in easily transportable wooden pallets. The pallet should be
unloaded at the site by a construction site crane, forklift truck or other suitable hoisting
equipment. Never dump them from the truck.
ACICO blocks are produced to extremely narrow dimensional tolerances of 001mm. They are
therefore laid by the thin-bed mortar (glue) method. The joint is 3-5 mm thick. ACICO blocks for
infill masonry y are the logical advancement in development of ACICO blocks with Tongue and
Grove.

1.2.2. ACICO AAC Lintels.

ACICO lintels are available in various sizes to cover wide range of openings for doors, windows
etc. Since they are constructed from the same material as ACICO blocks, the surfaces are easily
finished and the possibility of cracks due to different thermal expansion is reduced. ACICO lintels
facilitate work on site, maintain insulation and avoid thermal bridges caused by the use of
traditional concrete lintels. The traditional method for preparing concrete lintels requires much
work such as shuttering, preparing of reinforcement and it is also much more time consuming.
ACICO lintels are produced according to code DIN EN 12605. The reinforcement is anti-corrosive
protected like other reinforced ACICO slabs and panels. Standard lintels are designed for a
minimum 20 cm support at both ends with a maximum span between supports of 260 cm.
1.2.3. ACICO AAC Slabs and Wall Panels.

ACICO Slabs and Wall Panels are reinforced aerated concrete products which are produced in
accordance to code DIN EN 12605. Being ready-to-use, prefab structure elements have their full
load-bearing capacity directly after production.
After delivery, slabs can be simply erected in a short time. There is no need for shuttering work.
Only the joints must be grounded with concrete.

1.2.4. ACICO Glue Mortar (Thin-bed Mortar).

ACICO thin-bed Mortar (glue) is an adhesive mortar tor quick and firm laying of ACICO blocks
with thin joints. It is used to bind ACICO blocks into masonry with high stability. ACICO glue is
manufactured from fin sand, cement and some adhesives, resulting in good bonding properties.
The thickness of the joints 3-5 mm, thus preserving the unique thermal-insulation qualities.

1.2.5. ACICO Repair Mortar.

ACICO repair mortar is specially produced only for the AAC products and is not common in the
market. The component of the AAC products is the same material which is used to produce the
repair mortar and this component to be exactly the same properties of AAC products.

Mixing ACICO Thin Bed Mortar.


ACICO Thin Bed Mortar is prepared in a clean container, add two parts of water to five
parts of glue (approx. parts) and with a stirrer using a power drill mix to homogeneous
creamy paste. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes and remix shortly before use. Prepare
the quantity for not more than one hour. Do not add any other material. Like sand to the mix.
After through mixing the thin bed–mortar with water, the mortar is ready for use. First
dust and loose particles must be brushed form the surfaces. Then apply thin bed-mortar to
the horizontal surfaces with a suitable ACICO plane - block trowel of width equal to block
width. While adjusting the mortar consistency, make sure that during application the thin-bed
mortar flows easily through the teeth of the plane block trowel over the full surface. The
consistency should be such that the mortar strands visible on the horizontal joints after
applying mortar by trowel can't mingle. That means the teeth should remain visible.
4. ACICO Block Installation.
a. Laying the First Course (Leveling Course).
Using a brush, clean block surface before installation. Lay the first course over a semi-
dry cement-sand mortar leveling bed (minimum 10 mm thickness, maximum 30 mm
thickness). This must be laid correctly for fast building progress in the following
courses. In all next courses ACICO blocks are best laid with ACICO thin-bed mortar
(ACICO Glue).
b. Cutting Block (Adjustment).
An ACICO hand saw or a band saw can be used to cut the block to specific lengths
(adjustment pieces).
c. Laying the Subsequent Courses.
For subsequent courses, use only ACICO thin bed Mortar on all joints between ACICO
Block. Use a brush to clean the block surface before mortar application. After block
installation, remove spilled mortar using a spatula. Minimum overlapping of vertical
joints between layers should be 100 mm.
It’s recommended to check alignment and level after each unit installation to achieve
a plumbed wall.

BONDING DETAILS
If there is an inter looking between the blocks, there is no need for using the wire
mesh or steel plate in connecting partition walls. The only thing needed is a steel angle or a
steel connection between ACICO blocks and the concrete column each (3-4) layers.
a. CONNECTING BY MASONRY BONDING.

b. CONNECTIONG BY STEEL PLATE.


Steel connection is a stainless steel plate in 30cm length and
1mm thickness. The width is 3cm having circular holes allowing glue to
pass through it. Also, the holes facilitate fixing AAC nails in locks. The
AAC connection is applied to connect ACICO blocks each 50cm height.

c. WALL BONDING FOR DIFFERENT BLOCK HEIGHTS.


For different blocks heights if there is a difference in the block heights or there is no
inter looking between the partition walls then the wire mesh or steel angle should be used to
connect these partition walls.

Due to the variant dimensions and shapes or non-standard lintels, it is produced only upon
reasonable request with maximum height 60.0 cm and maximum length of 600 cm.
This type of lintels can be produced in different shapes as shown in figure down blow. It is
also possible to get different types of opening shapes in masonry by using the hand saw. These
shapes are more practical especially with ACICO partition wall blocks as per its remarkable height
which is 50 cm.

APPLYING ACICO LINTELS & RECOMMENDATION.


1. After production, ACICO lintels are packed and delivered to sites ready to be installed.
2. Being lightweight products, ACICO Lintels can be simply installed using manpower only
without lifting equipment’s. For long spans, which are relatively heavier, lifting equipment is
required.
3. When block work is adjusted to the proper level, ACICO Lintel is lifted and supported on the
masonry, then block work can be continued immediately.

Method of Statement.

Surface Preparation:

All surfaces should be sound and free of contamination from dust, debris, loose particles of
mortar, wallpaper, paint, etc. All traces of oil and grease should be removed with a chemical
degreaser.
ACICO Glue Mortar can be applied directly onto concrete, cement screeds and cement or line
mortar. On new construction.

Mixing:

5 -5.5 liters of water is required for each 25kg bag of ACICO Glue Mortar. A slow speed drill fitted
mixing paddle is recommended for mixing in a minimum capacity of 30L. Always pour the powder
into the recommended quantity of water while the mixer is running, slowly add the bag of powder
and mix for 3 minutes until a uniform and lump free consistency achieved. It is important that the
powder is always added into the water - do not pour water into the powder component.

Application:

The first line of block should be lined on a traditional bed of cement mortar.
Applied ACICO glue with a special toothed trowel and then position the blocks to be
leveled. Remove possible excess of mortar before it hardens.
The glue should be applied in a thin layer to enable the continuity of thermo insulation of
the block.
Leave a space of about 2 cm between the top of the block wall and the bottom of the slab
or beam in order to avoid formation of cracks along the wall this cavity should be filled
with compressible materials.

Cleaning:

Wet product should be removed from tools and equipment with clean water immediately after
use. Cured material should be removed mechanically.

4.4.3. Openings Frames (Doors & Windows).

Windows and doors are fixed directly to AAC block without the need of using any stiffeners.
We recommend using fishers for light weight block that may be finding at HILTI or Fisher (Plastic
Plugs or Steel connection).
Note: In commercial applications, welded frames with grouted solid jambs and headers are
recommended.
FIXING WOODEN AND METAL FRAMES WITH AAC BLOCK PLEASE BE NOTED THE FOLLOWING:
1. For single leaf door it is recommended to have 6 plugs in each side with around 35 to 40cm
distance between each other.
2. Screw nails 10 cm length with wooden frames while 7.5 cm only is o.k. for metal frames.
3. For double leaf door (in addition to above no.1) the head of wooden frame should have the same
fixation.
4. Windows should fix frames all around the four sides.

FIXING BY PLASTIC PLUGS:

o Set and take alignment other frame.


o Drill a hole through the frame only, but the hole in
the wall by hammer and bolt (steel bar) to have a
correct and compacted hole.
o Set the plastic plug & fix the frame by a suitable
screw.

FIXING BY STEEL CONNECTION:

o Fix the sheet by screws on the frame (3 sheets on


each side).
o Set the frame and take the alignment.
o Bend the sheet ends to the wall, fix it by AAC Nails.
o Cover the fixing points by plaster.
o For heavy frames, use fisher plugs GB 10 or GB 14.

4.4.4. Cladding Work.

TILING.
a. Internal Tiling.
One of the remarkable advantages of ACICO walls is
the plane surface due to the height quality of ACICO blocks
and thinned mortar bonding.
This advantage, allows tiling work on ACICO wall by
thin bed (cement-glue) method immediately without
plaster work. Only, probable uneven spots can be
smoothened by a sand paper and wall surfaces must be
brushed off with a hard brush before applying the cement
glue. Also, it is not necessary to wet ACICO wall before
applying the cement glue.
The cement glue method is ideal for ACICO walls
and results in remarkable advantages. It is simple and saves
time. The tiles are merely pressed into place and aligned. -
All tiles are seated over their entire area on the
understructure. Uniform quality of industrially
manufactured and ready-to-use cement-glue. No extra
expenditure for mortar material, mixer and labor.

b. External Tiling.
Performance under tough climate conditions, temperature difference, movements and
adequate bonding between external tiles and masonry is vital factor of laying external ceramic tiles.
The same bonding (cement glue) method as per internal tiling work is also recommended for
external one, but it is not preferred to fill the joints between tiles. Therefore, tiles can expand
through these joints which work as expansion joints. Whenever, joints should be filled with cement
mortar, expansion joints, filled with flexible material 2 filler should be applied in each 2M of tiles.
Further to cement glue method, it is also possible to use thick-bed cement mortar with a mechanical
connection between ACICO Wall and mortar.

4.4.5. Fastenings

There is hardly any other mineral building material with which anchoring and fastening can be
carried out so simple as with AAC lateral. But it should be done as mentioned below:

o Nails (for anchoring lighter loads)


Normal nails are unsuitable except for very light loads like pictures act. While conical,
galvanized, square nails (GB nails) in different lengths for proper fixing of small loads, wooden
or steel strips, etc.
o Plugs
Practically all types of commercial plastic plugs are suitable but HILTI of Fisher also
supplies special plastic plugs (Fisher GB) for anchoring relatively heavier loads. But in all cases
holes should not be made by electric drill. Hammer should be used to make the hole by
hammering round steel bolt or an awl of the same diameter as the plug. By hammering,
material compaction and a correct hole-diameter can be achieved to get higher frictional
value.
o Threaded bolts
Heavy point loads can be fixed with threaded galvanized bolts as shown in figure.
Electrical drill should be used for this case.
