REPORT ON
WATERPROOFING TEST
DONE ON AAC BLOCKS
USING DIFFERENT
CHEMICALS

Introduction:
Water proofing is done on AAC ( Aerocon) blocks which has >
40 % water absorption, using different type of water proofing
chemicals. Application is done by different vendors.
Aerocon blocks are cut into 100X100X100 mm samples and
initial weights of the samples are taken. Then water proofing is
done on these blocks using different chemicals supplied by
applicator. Samples are allowed to dry for one day and dry
weight of the treated sample is recorded before immersing in
water.
Samples are immersed in water for 24 hours and weight of the
cube samples are recorded when they are in surface dry
condition.
Then, the percentage absorption of treated sample is been
calculated and the average of three samples is the %
absorption of water by the treated Aerocon block sample.
