AAC Blocks
In 1914, Swedish ingenuity birthed a revolutionary building material. By combining cement, lime, water, sand, and aluminum powder, they created a material with the advantages of wood, yet free from its inherent drawbacks like combustibility, decay, and termite damage. This invention, further developed, is what we now know as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). More than just individual blocks, AAC forms a fully integrated building system ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. This lightweight, green building material boasts several advantages: exceptional fire resistance for enhanced safety, superior thermal insulation for energy efficiency, a solid structure for long-lasting performance, and ease of use for faster construction.
With over 200 production plants in 35 countries, AAC has become a widely used material globally. Sai Iges Power Pvt Ltd, a leading manufacturer in India, is dedicated to providing this sustainable solution. Their mechanized production facility boasts a capacity of 1.80,000 cu.m. per annum.
But Sai Iges Power goes beyond simply producing AAC blocks. They utilize recycled fly ash and pond ash in their SAICRETE products, actively contributing to a sustainable and environmentally responsible building industry. Located in Maharashtra, India, Sai Iges Power stands as a trusted partner in building a greener future with innovative and sustainable solutions.

Composition of AAC Blocks
From Raw Materials to Building Blocks:
The AAC Manufacturing Journey
Sai Iges Power meticulously transforms raw materials into high-quality AAC blocks through a well-defined process:
- Precise Dosing & Mixing: Ensures a uniform slurry for consistent block characteristics.
- Casting & Rising: Formation of air bubbles creates the lightweight cellular structure.
- Demolding & Cutting: Blocks are carefully removed and cut to desired sizes.
- Autoclaving: High pressure and steam cure the blocks for enhanced strength and stability.
- Packaging & Storage: Quality-checked blocks are readied for safe delivery.
Sustainable Advantage: Sai Iges Power prioritizes environmentally responsible practices. Utilizing fly ash reduces reliance on virgin resources, making AAC blocks a sustainable building choice.
