Vodapruf VPanel ALC Panel – Water Absorption Test Compared to AAC Block and Panel

Water absorption is a key factor when assessing wall systems in our tropical climate, where heavy rainfall and high humidity are common. Excessive water absorption can lead to issues such as surface dampness, efflorescence, mould growth, and long-term deterioration of finishes.

To address this, Vodapruf conducted a water absorption test comparing VPanel ALC panels with conventional AAC blocks and AAC panels. The results show that VPanel absorbs significantly less water compared to standard AAC materials. This is due to its denser matrix and proprietary additives, which help reduce porosity and improve water resistance. In practical terms, this means less water penetration during construction, faster drying times after rain, and lower risk of moisture-related defects once the building is occupied.

For contractors and developers, reduced water absorption translates into less surface preparation before painting or plastering, and improved durability of external and internal finishes. In Malaysia and Singapore, where projects often face tight timelines and unpredictable weather, these benefits help minimise delays and maintenance issues.

Overall, Vodapruf VPanel offers better resistance against water ingress compared to conventional AAC block and panel, making it a more reliable solution for long-lasting, low-maintenance buildings in our region.
