Lime (quick lime):
Aluminium paste/powder
It is recommended to use aluminium paste/powder especially manufactured for the production of AAC products. The type of the selected aluminium powder/paste depends on the properties of the AAC product to be produced.
Water
Potable water without any components that are detrimental to concrete. In order to obtain the right mix temperature the free water for the mixing process shall be supplied from a cold as well as a hot water source.
