Holcim AAC Block Adhesive is used for laying all types of AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete), bricks, and various types of cement blocks in the market. The adhesive is designed to durably bond blocks with optimum adhesive strength.

It is made from cement, well-graded fillers, and specialized polymer. Holcim AAC Block Adhesive is part of the company’s product offering for building better walls. Holcim Philippines developed the new material in response to the growing use of AAC blocks for wall building because of the ease in installing and plastering compared with conventional hollow blocks.

With Holcim AAC Block Adhesive, builders may reduce mortar use for block laying by up to 75%. The new product also has high polymer content which leads to stronger bond between blocks and minimizes shrinkage cracking at joints.
