Recently, the "Standardization Observation Meeting for Engineering Quality Improvement and 2026 Waterproofing and Anti-corrosion Technology Exchange Meeting," hosted by the China Construction Industry Association and organized by the Waterproofing Branch of the China Construction Industry Association, the Shandong Provincial Construction Industry Association, Shandong Jianzhu University, and other units, was held in Jinan, Shandong. At the meeting, the 2026 White Paper on "High-Quality Engineering Waterproofing Materials and Technologies" was released, and the Jinji Lake Tunnel main waterproofing project , in which Canlon participated, was honorably selected. It is worth mentioning that the main waterproofing project of Jinji Lake Tunnel also won the Silver Award of the 2025 Jinyu Award.
To address common quality issues in construction projects, strengthen construction safety, and ensure safe production before the Spring Festival, the Quality Inspection Center of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, organized a waterproofing construction training and safety production publicity meeting on September 23. Heads and technical management personnel from construction, supervision, and other units involved in ongoing projects throughout the county participated in the training.
On the path of exploring green building and sustainable development, universities are pioneers of innovation, while the support of industry provides a solid foundation for the implementation of these innovations. The Sustainable Future Challenge ( SFC ) is a global team competition for universities worldwide, aiming to respond to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and China's "dual-carbon" strategy. It is an upgraded version of the International Solar Decathlon (SDC), which is known as the "Olympics" of the solar energy industry.
In the field of underground waterproofing, there is a persistent challenge that has plagued the industry for decades—water migration. In traditional waterproofing practices, a physical interface always exists between the waterproofing layer and the structural body. Once the waterproofing layer is locally damaged, groundwater can travel long distances along this gap, seeping into the building through weak points in the structure. More frustratingly, the leakage point is often far from the damage point, making repairs like "finding a needle in a haystack."
On a scorching summer day, have you ever felt that city centers are hotter than suburbs? It's not an illusion. Meteorological data shows that urban core temperatures are often 3-5°C higher than surrounding suburbs—this is the well-known "urban heat island effect." One of the key culprits behind this phenomenon is the dark roofs above our heads. Traditional asphalt roofs and black waterproofing membranes can reach surface temperatures of 70-80°C under intense sunlight. Like giant "heat-absorbing panels," they convert solar radiation into heat, continuously baking the city above. The emergence of white TPO cool roofs is changing this situation—it's like applying an "ice pack" to buildings, not only cooling the building itself but also quietly mitigating the heat of the entire city.
Polyurethane waterproof coatings such as "solvent-based" and "solvent-free," "water-based" and "oil-based," do you feel like you're making an uncertain choice? Behind this lies an invisible battle between environmental protection, health, and construction safety. Today, Canlon will help you clarify this crucial choice that determines the quality of your bathroom waterproofing!
Supermarkets, food, beverages, logistics... these are the projects in commercial buildings that are closest to daily consumer needs, and they are also the projects that can best enhance the happiness of the general public. Reliable building waterproofing quality not only protects the business and profits of commercial entities, but also provides a solid guarantee for convenient living and healthy eating. With its excellent products and systems, Canlon empowers the industrial development of well-known brands in the supermarket and consumer sector, laying a solid foundation for modern quality living.
On September 3, 2026, the Party Committee of Suzhou Company (East China Materials Division) of China National Building Materials Testing & Certification Group, the Party Branch of Suzhou Waterproofing Research Institute of China Building Materials, the Party Branch of China Building Waterproofing Magazine, and the Party General Branch of Canlon Investment Co., Ltd. jointly carried out the "Chain-based Party Building" co-construction activity at Canlon Polymer Industrial Park and officially signed the "Chain-based Party Building Co-construction Agreement".
In scenarios such as rooftop gardens and planted decks over underground parking garages, the threat of plant roots penetrating the waterproofing layer is a critical engineering challenge. Many mistakenly believe that “root-resistant” membranes work by “poisoning” roots—a widespread misconception. In fact, root-resistant waterproofing membranes operate through two primary mechanisms: physical root resistance and chemical root resistance. The former relies on the material’s own “hard power” without any chemical additives; the latter uses specific agents to alter root growth behavior. These principles are fundamentally different and suit different applications.
