            <title>The Danger of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC)</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3199774</link>
            <description>The biggest AAC factory in Malaysia already came on the market in Dec 2013.&lt;br /&gt;Does any one know what is AAC? &lt;br /&gt;If your developer uses AAC to make your house, good luck to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not know how dangerous is AAC , this website tells the lawsuit against the AAC makers in Germany. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.derwesten-recherche.org/2011/11/haniel-und-xella-tricksten-und-taeuschten-im-broeselstein-skandal/' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.derwesten-recherche.org/2011/11...lstein-skandal/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Structurally, something 500-700kg/m3 cut cost building material AAC does not hold building weight much, the steel-reinforced concrete frame structure will still need solid walls holding up its beam weight.&lt;br /&gt;Or the transfer weight from beam to AAC wall will make cracks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The house made with AAC in Germany have many cracks. Even the good lime and cement or sand are used to make AAC, this type of low density material does not take building weight and becomes powders in hot and humid Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AAC is being promoted hard by a few german companies worldwide. They will have some good starting years, but they will also pay out compensation at last.&lt;br /&gt;</description>
