On January 16, the No. 1 nuclear island of the Jiangsu Xuwei Nuclear Power Plant in Lianyungang began concrete pouring, marking the start of the main construction phase and initiating my country's transformation of nuclear energy from primarily power generation to diversified supply. The project utilized multiple waterproofing materials from Canlon to construct a robust and reliable waterproofing system. As the first nuclear power unit to commence construction in China at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the Xuwei project primarily focuses on industrial heating while also generating electricity, with a total investment exceeding 72 billion yuan.
On January 17, 2026, to strengthen the continuous exchange of new products and technologies in the steel structure field, implement the concept of high-quality development in the industry under the new circumstances, and jointly promote the continuous and healthy development of the metal enclosure system industry, a delegation led by Cai Zhaoyun, Secretary-General of the Metal Roofing Technology Branch of the China Building Waterproofing Association and the Enclosure System Branch of the China Steel Structure Association, visited Canlon for observation and exchange. Qian Lindi, Chairman of Canlon, Wang Pingping, Vice President, and Wang Yazhou, General Manager of the Application Technology R&D Center, warmly received the visiting branch presidents and directors.
Polymer waterproofing membranes play a critical role in modern construction, with Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) being two widely used primary materials. Their long-term performance, particularly weatherability and durability, directly determines the reliability and service life of building envelopes. This article will delve into the impact of environmental factors on the molecular structures of these two materials from a materials science perspective and explore the underlying aging mechanisms and their respective application scenarios.
In the history of modern construction, persistent leakage, akin to a "water curtain cave," has long plagued the industry and end-users. The limitations of traditional waterproofing materials in terms of durability, environmental friendliness, and construction convenience have struggled to meet the higher demands of contemporary buildings for long-term safety, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Today, polymer waterproofing membranes, represented by PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), are leading a technological revolution with their superior performance, becoming the preferred solution for large public buildings, industrial plants, transportation hubs, and green roofs.
Among the many waterproofing materials available, polyurethane waterproof coatings are becoming an increasingly popular choice due to their superior physical properties. Today, we'll discuss one of the more technologically advanced options: white, anti-sagging polyurethane. The emergence of "anti-sagging" technology is precisely to win this battle against gravity. It gives the coating a magical "thixotropic" property: during application, it is soft and smooth, easy to brush; once the brush stops, it's as if it's been "frozen," quickly solidifying and adhering firmly to the wall or slope. This ensures a uniform coating, eliminating the problem of uneven thickness caused by dripping at its source. Furthermore, uniform application reduces material waste and avoids the need for repeated brushing due to insufficient initial coat thickness.
Before we know it, 2025 is drawing to a close , and I'm sure everyone has many unforgettable memories . Throughout the year , Canlon has continuously explored new avenues and reached new heights, striving to innovate and change the industry ecosystem , winning widespread attention and recognition . What influential events occurred during this period? Let's take a look at the top 10 events of 2025.
Opening up new tracks and occupying new heights, striving to innovate and change the industry ecosystem , and winning encouragement and recognition from all parties — this is the epitome of Canlon's efforts in 2025 . What tangible honors did we achieve during this period? As the year draws to a close, let's take stock of the top ten glorious moments of 2025 (in no particular order).
Concrete is the main base material for all kinds of buildings. It is made by mixing cement, sand, stone, water, and, when necessary, admixtures and mineral admixtures in appropriate proportions, and then mixing, molding, curing and hardening. Therefore, it has a certain degree of density. The cement hydration products (such as CSH gel) fill the gaps between the aggregates, which theoretically seems to prevent water penetration. However, during the drying and hardening process of ordinary concrete, due to water evaporation and volume changes caused by cement hydration, tiny capillary pores and gel pores inevitably form. These pores constitute pathways for the penetration of water and other harmful substances.
