WHY
The Answer:
Wall Cracks, Water Seepage and
Installation Expertise were never
SOLVED!
The Slogan:
Use it the First Time and that will be the
Last Time.
1 AAC block size is 8 times clay bricks.
Can the speed be 8 times fasters?
 The Installation Speed

Does Block Size

Matter
 Traditional AAC block installation method is
claimed to be 2 times faster than clay bricks.

2 TIMES FASTER 2 TIMES MORE PROBLEMS

2 Times Slower
The right installation systems speed is

4 Times Faster
The AAC Block Wall Cracks
are caused by
Irregular Bonding Strength of the

Thin Bed Adhesive

 What is Thin Bed Adhesive?
Cement Graded Sand Performance Additives

The AAC block walls ability

to crack or not to crack will
depend solely on the
bonding strength of the Thin
Bed Adhesive.
 AAC blocks are simply
bonded together to form a wall through
a 2-3mm cement adhesive called the

Thin Bed Adhesive

Is this good enough compared to

brick walls ?
 Question:

What causes
AAC block walls
to crack?
 Answer:

Ground settlement
Wall vibrations
AAC block TBA failure
 Wall Thin Bed
cracking Adhesive

Henner X No solution
Why TBA can
cause cracks?
 Is the bonding strength
sufficient to withstand ground
movement or settlement?
The high rate of TBA failure
has led to

Wall Cracks
How does Thin Bed Adhesive fail?
AAC block walls may crack due to weather,
settlement and vibrations.
No standardised TBA installation on-site.
Hydration in TBA causes more water used for better
workability but produces a weaker strength.
Strength of the entire wall is compromised.
Other reasons why TBA fails:
Mixing different volumes of water.
Unavailability of clean water on-site.
Mixing without proper mechanical mixer.
Workmanship differs among workers.
Insufficient skill set amongst workers.
 TBA in conclusion
The wrong product for bonding AAC blocks.
The cause of wall cracks.
The cause of water seepage and water retention.

From today, all AAC block problems
are TOTALLY solved by Roxsil AAC
Wall System.
 Who Are We?

Roxsil Silicone is Malaysias premier silicone R&D

company utilizing advanced USA and German
Technology.

Roxsil AAC Block Solutions specially created to

solve AAC problems.
 The New Installation System

Roxsil AAC Moisture Less

and
Crack Less Wall System
 The Problem
Thin bed adhesive is proven not suitable for use on
AAC Block walls because it has too many variables.

Solution
A strong and easily bonding adhesive would enable
the walls to bond and withstand some movement and
grown settlements making lee cracks appear, for
more stable walls.
Introducing The Solution For Crack Less
Walls
ROXSiL AAC Bonding Adhesive
 The Problem
Water Seepage Through Block Joints
AAC Blocks are prone to water seeping through joint
between blocks, and the blocks itself. Studies have shown
that high moisture content retention inside the AAC Blocks
weaken wall structure resulting in cracks.

Solution:
Waterproofing the Blocks and joints will ensure less water
seepage.
Introducing the Solution For
Water Seepage
ROXSil AAC Water Repellant Plug
Just 2 Products to solve
the main problems of
AAC Blocks.
The ROXSiL AAC Moisture and Crack Less Wall System has been specifically designed for
use with AAC Blocks because conventional finished AAC Block walls has a tendency to
crack due to moisture ingress and retention resulting in weakened wall structure.
