Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you resolve the drying shrinkage of 0.50 % in AAC block?
The AAC Bond- Super Polymerized Bond has an excellent flexible
property which takes care of minor shrinkage in AAC Blocks.
2. How do you resolve the structural movement cracks between RCC and
Blockworks?
The AAC Bond- Super Polymerized Bond has an excellent adhesion and a
good co-efficient of thermal expansion contraction. It holds on both ends
of RCC and Blockwork and expands when the temperature goes up and
contracts when the temperature comes out with leaving either RCC or
Blockwork.
In such areas, we reinforce the putty/plaster with 45 GSM nylon mesh.

3. Why do cracks happen in AAC Bricks?
It is because of thermal expansion and contraction.
4. This is a standard reply – Explain clearly?
There are two types of cracks in a AAC block work:
1. A staggered straight line cracks- These cracks happen at
following four places- AAC Blocks corner
RCC and Blockwork Conduited areas
Mulian and Blockwork
This can be prevented if AAC Bond is used as a pasting compound for
blocks and conduits also.
2. Tapered cracks- These are the cracks which happen because of
lateral movement as there are already cracks in AAC Blocks.
This can be prevented with Magic Xp.
5. Why should it crack when we use the company recommended block
adhesive?
AAC Blocks absorb very little water hence the cement in binding material
get very little hydration. Hence, the adhesion between the blocks and
cement based adhesive is not good.
6. Do you mean to say that AAC Blocks should not be used?
AAC blocks are the future of the building industry as it gives various
advantages like thermal insulation , noise insulation , light weight ,easy to
use , easy to transport, available in large sizes etc.
We wish to convey that the material used for block pasting and plastering
must have good adhesion , elastomeric , hydrophobic and film formation
properties.
7. How do we stack the AAC blocks?
The blocks may be stacked one over the other or in brick pattern with
Xylo’s AAC Bond and the pointings must be finished with AAC Bond.
8. Can we remove the Mulian? If yes, why?
Yes, the Mulian must be removed if it is not tied to the pillars as it will only
increase the load.
The blocks are manufactured in boulders and then it is cut to size. Since
the transportation is difficult for sending the AAC Block in large panels.
The performance will remain the same if we can give a material with good
adhesion and elastomeric ,which AAC Bond is.
9. How do we check whether the product will perform or not?
1.(a)Break the block unevenly and paste it with AAC Bond.
(b)Paste four more blocks to the above block.
(c) Make a hole on one side of the broken blocks.
(d) Tie a rope and suspend it on a hook to check the adhesion properties.
2. Spray water from one side and check if it is oozing out on the other side.
This will show that the product is hydrophobic .
3. Apply Magic Xp as a plaster and by reinforcing with nylon mesh across
the surface.
4. Paste tiles on the other side with Tilo or Magic Xp.
Alternatively, you may paste the block on a RCC column at a height and
keep weights on it.
10. What do we do for the cracks which are already happened?
Xylo’s material can be used as a :
1) Preventive Measure 2)Corrective Measure.
11. What are the corrective and preventive measures?
Corrective measures: Use Magic Xp over the plastered / gypsum/painted
surface by reinforcing the entire surface with nylon mesh of 45 GSM.
Preventive measures: Use AAC Bond for block pasting and for plastering
directly on the blocks , you may use Magic Xp by reinforcing the entire
surface with nylon mesh of 45 GSM.
12. Can we paste AAC Blocks on steel sections?
Yes, we can paste because the adhesion of AAC Bond is excellent.
13. What do we do in areas where the gap between the blocks and the
beam/pillar is very small?
Normally PU foam is used as a filler which is very expensive and is not
paintable. In such a situation, you break the blocks into small pebbles and
mix it with AAC Bond. Use this mixture to fill in the voids.
You may find cracks when AAC Bond is applied thick. You may fill the
crevices of the cracks with AAC Bond again and the entire area will become
homogenous.
14. Will the cement plaster adheres to the AAC Blocks?
Since the AAC Block do not absorb water , an aggregate made with water
will not adhere properly. The grooves on the blocks helps in adhesion due
to CLING ON adhesion.
15. Do you mean to say that we should not do plaster on AAC Blocks?
Plastering on the external is essential as the blocks are aligned from
inside. Hence the thickness of the plaster / offset will be more.
Plaster can be eliminated in the internal.
16. How do we ensure that the plaster do not fall off over a period of time?
We must laminate the building which can hold the plaster as a filler and
which is hydrophobic.
17. Which material do you recommend for lamination of the plaster?
Magic Xp- Elastomeric Paintable Putty/Plaster. It has the following
properties:
Indentation Resistant
Film formation
Elastomeric
Excellent adhesion
Impregnation
Hydrophobic
18. Why do we get tapered cracks after completing the painting on AAC
Blocks?
Cracks are there in the blocks itself which opens up due to lateral
movement. Further, it percolates down the layer because the joinery
material is not flexible and the crack percolates down. This can be
eliminated by using AAC Bond which will work like a shock absorber and the
crack will remain in that particular block.
By applying Magic Xp Putty/ Plaster even those cracks can be eliminated as
it forms a composite film.
