Why Gypsona Plaster Is India’s Preferred Lime Supplier for AAC Block Production
Producing good-quality AAC blocks involves more than just the right machinery and raw materials; it calls for lime that can give consistent reactivity, the best calcium content, and performance that is predictable from batch to batch. Gypsona Plaster offers quicklime and hydrated lime of the highest quality specifically made for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete, thus helping AAC manufacturers to Indiawide gain superior block strength, lower production costs, and less quality rejection.
The lime we use is not a commodity-grade material that is sourced from any random quarries. We follow very strict quality procedures from the selection of the limestone to the calcination and packaging stages and thus we make sure that every ton of lime you get is in accordance with the exact chemical specifications needed by AAC manufacturing. If you are making 50,000 blocks per month or are going to industrial volumes, Gypsona Plaster still brings you the lime quality and the technical support that AAC manufacturing needs to be successful

Comprehensive Lime Solutions for Every AAC Manufacturing Need
High-Reactivity Quicklime for Standard Production
To primarily supply calcium in AAC recipes, we use our best quality quicklime (CaO 92-94%) which is the major source of calcium. This material which is available in 40kg bags or bulk, hydrates very fast for an efficient slurry preparation and at the same time provides the alkalinity needed for the aluminium powder activation and the resulting hydrogen gas generation that gives AAC its unique cellular structure.
Hydrated Lime for Specialized Applications
Just a few AAC manufacturers opt for the pre-hydrated lime for an easier handling and a less on-site processing. Our calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂ content 95%+) completely goes into solution in water and therefore is very well dispersed in flyash slurries. The choice here particularly suffices the condition of small size operations or those who have little or no slaking equipment, thus providing them with standard results without the need for installing any infrastructure.
Blended Lime Formulations
It could be that the compositions of certain flyash and the density of the block that you want to produce are the factors leading you to blend your limes. Gypsona Plaster makes use of the quicklime, hydrated lime, and performance-enhancing additives to produce the blend that is best suited for your tough manufacturing scenarios, whether you are dealing with high-carbon flyash, going for ultra-lightweight blocks, or speeding up the production.
Lime for Autoclave Process Optimization
The whole process of autoclaving essentially determines the final properties of the block and the quality of lime used significantly affects the curing efficiency. Our lime facilitates the building of tobermorite crystals – the calcium silicate hydrate compounds that make AAC blocks strong and stable in shape. Using the right lime not only speeds up autoclave cycles but also lowers energy consumption and yields blocks with high compressive strength and good resistance to moisture.
Understanding Lime’s Role in AAC Block Manufacturing
Why is lime essential for AAC block production?
Lime serves multiple critical functions in AAC manufacturing. First, it provides the calcium oxide necessary for reacting with silica in flyash to form calcium silicate hydrates—the binding compounds that give AAC blocks their strength. Second, lime creates the alkaline environment required for aluminum powder to react and generate hydrogen gas, which forms the millions of tiny air bubbles that make AAC blocks lightweight. Without proper lime, AAC blocks simply cannot form their characteristic cellular structure or achieve adequate compressive strength.
What’s the difference between quicklime and hydrated lime for AAC production?
Quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) requires slaking with water before use, releasing significant heat during hydration. This exothermic reaction helps maintain slurry temperature for optimal flyash reaction. Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂) is pre-slaked, offering easier handling and immediate dissolution but providing less thermal energy. Most large-scale AAC manufacturers prefer quicklime for its cost-effectiveness and the beneficial heat generation, while smaller operations may choose hydrated lime for simplified processing and safety considerations.
How much lime is needed per cubic meter of AAC blocks?
Lime dosage varies based on flyash composition, target block density, and specific formulation, but typically ranges from 5-8% of total dry ingredients by weight. For standard 600 kg/m³ density blocks, you’ll use approximately 30-50 kg of lime per cubic meter of finished AAC. The exact amount depends on your flyash’s calcium content—high-calcium flyash requires less supplemental lime than low-calcium varieties. Gypsona Plaster’s technical team can calculate optimal dosage for your specific raw materials and production goals.
Why AAC Manufacturers Trust Gypsona Plaster
Specialized Lime Production for AAC Industry
Gypsona Plaster is a lime supplier specialized in providing the best materials for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks. We select our limestone quarries for their high-calcium compositions, operate our kilns at temperatures that ensure the reactivity of the material is suitable for the AAC-grade, and our quality control measures are designed to maintain the quality of the product specifically for autoclaved aerated concrete. This specialization ensures you receive lime that is truly engineered for your application and not a simple commodity that “also works” for AAC.
Consistent Supply Chain Performance
Production of AAC is usually scheduled very tightly – a shortage of lime can stop a plant at once. Gypsona Plaster keeps up with the demand by maintaining strategic inventory levels and operating several logistic routes. We were punctual for 98% of our orders during the last three years even in times of heavy rain and transport strikes when our competitors were affected. When your production line requires continuous lime availability, reliability is not a choice; it is a necessity.
Competitive Pricing Without Quality Compromise
Reduced prices for lime would be meaningless if the quality were to be low, leading to increased overall production costs due to higher dosage requirements, more rejects, and longer curing times. Gypsona Plaster determines the cost of lime according to the value that is delivered – the real cost per cubic meter of high-quality AAC blocks produced is what matters. Our clients always say that even though the price per ton might be almost the same, the high purity of our lime makes the production process more efficient and the total manufacturing costs are lower than those of the cheap alternative products.
Technical Collaboration and Problem-Solving
Issues in the production of AAC factory—be it the erratic flyash, the defects on the surface of the block, or even the variations in strength—are usually related to the chemistry of the lime and how it is being applied. The technical support team is backed up by chemical engineers and production specialists who have already handled on numerous occasions the solving of the problems in the manufacturing of AAC, so their knowledge is at the disposal of the customer if you want to resolve an issue that happened suddenly or if you want to find the optimum formulations for cost reduction or quality enhancement.
Complete Raw Material Solutions for AAC Manufacturing
Besides lime, Gypsona Plaster is offering other materials that are necessary for AAC manufacturers:
Gypsum for Setting Control
Very pure gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) is used to regulate the setting time and to strengthen the final block. Our gypsum perfectly combines with our lime formulations, thus providing balanced reactivity and optimal development of the crystal structure during autoclaving.
Aluminum Powder for Aeration
The particle size of aluminum powder and its quality determine the volume of the formed bubbles and the block density consistency. We obtain a high-quality aluminum powder with a controlled reactivity profile which, when used together with our lime, results in a uniform cellular structure.
Process Optimization Chemicals
Besides, the manufacturers of AAC can use specialized additives, e.g. dispersants, stabilizers, and processing aids, which can solve production-related problems or increase the efficiency of the process. Our technical team takes into consideration your facility’s unique requirements and accordingly recommends and supplies these materials.
