Xella Italia YTONG FIX B202

YTONG FIX B202 is the premix for laying the first course of Ytong autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and slabs and Ytong TT blocks.‎ Developed with features to ensure good load transmission and masonry stability, it also reduces the risk of capillary rising damp.‎ Its main features are: - Low water absorption thanks to its hydrophobicity - Thixotropic and excellent workability - Perfect adhesion for both autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and bricks - Strength class G-M5 according to UNI EN 998-2 - High recycled content (42%) making it compliant with LEED and CAM requirements.‎ More than 100 years ago, in 1923, architect and researcher Dr.‎ Axel Eriksson invented "vapor-vulcanized gas concrete" in Sweden - now known as autoclaved aerated concrete.‎ Together with Carl August Carlén, an entrepreneur, they started the first production in 1929 in Yxhult, southern Sweden, at a time of great scarcity of raw materials and stricter energy laws.‎ A competitive advantage on the market The sustainability of buildings is increasingly at the center of construction trends, with modern sustainability policies undertaken by international institutions and organizations that have favored the increase of this trend.‎ The choice of materials and construction technologies are fundamental to obtaining homes that consume less and consequently have a lower environmental impact.‎ A sustainable home can cost on average 8% more than a normal home, but this difference is compensated by numerous advantages in the long term: a healthier and more comfortable environment, significant economic savings compared to bills and a higher value of the building; It is estimated, in fact, that the value of a green property can increase from 2 to 10% with sales times halved from 8 to 4 months.‎
