the medium gross density of 850 kg/m 3 to 1.100 kg/m 3 (white coloured blocks, suitable for standard usage) the high gross density blocks of 1.100 kg/m 3 to 1.500 kg/m 3 (reddish colour, suitable for walls with higher acoustic performance requirements) The dimensions of these blocks are: length 500 mm, height 500 mm. Four blocks thus make 1 m 2.
A pallet of "8-inch" concrete blocks An interior wall of painted concrete blocks Concrete masonry blocks A building constructed with concrete masonry blocks. A concrete block, also known as a cinder block in North American English, breeze block in British English, concrete masonry unit (CMU), or by various other terms, is a standard-size rectangular block used in building construction.
[59] [60] Masonry drill bits and standard expandable wall plugs are not suitable for use with AAC blocks. [60] Using European standard density (400 kg/m 3, B2,5), AAC blocks alone would require very thick — 500mm or thicker — walls to achieve the insulation levels required by newer building codes in Northern Europe.

The variable density reduces strength [18] to increase thermal [18] and acoustical insulation by replacing the dense heavy concrete with air or a light material such as clay, cork granules and vermiculite. There are many competing products that use a foaming agent that resembles shaving cream to mix air bubbles in with the concrete.
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. [1] MDF is generally denser than plywood.
High-density solids are mixtures of liquid and solid constituents; examples include farm grain, pulled pork, etc.. Each have their own typical physical and chemical characteristics such as specific weight, solids content, maximum particle size as well as how they behave, for example thixotropically, abrasively or adhesively.
The development of synthetic-enzyme based foaming agents; foam stability enhancing admixtures; and specialized foam generating, mixing, and pumping equipment has improved the stability of the foam and hence foam concrete, making it possible to manufacture as light as 75 kg/m 3 density, a density that is just 7.5% of water.
