Ytong is a Swedish brand of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), part of the Xella group - one of the world's largest manufacturers of AAC and building plaster products. Founded in 1929 in Sweden, Ytong is synonymous with AAC across Central and Eastern Europe.
Why AAC? Five times lighter than standard concrete, cuts and works easily with simple tools, good thermal insulation in the block mass, fire resistance class A1. On the other hand - lower compressive strength than dense concrete, needs correct moisture management.
At Colorista.md you'll find Ytong adhesives for AAC masonry. The specialist adhesive matters - with standard mortar, the thick joint and fast drying on AAC produce weak adhesion. With Ytong adhesive the joint is 2-3mm - thermally more stable and mechanically stronger.

Aerated concrete is highly absorbent - standard cement mortar dries too fast and loses adhesion. Ytong specialist adhesive retains water and has working time adapted for AAC. A 2-3mm adhesive joint is also thermally better than a 10-15mm mortar joint.
