Under the guidance of the "Dual Carbon" goals, the construction industry is undergoing a profound green transformation. As a critical component of building energy efficiency, roofing systems directly impact the whole-life carbon emissions of buildings. Traditional asphalt-based waterproofing materials, plagued by high production energy consumption, construction pollution, and short service lives, struggle to meet the demands of modern green buildings. Polymer waterproofing materials, represented by TPO and HDPE, are playing an irreplaceable core role in two major application scenarios—photovoltaic roofs and green roofs—by virtue of their exceptional weatherability, environmental friendliness, and functional integration capabilities.
Recently, Shanghai Baoye Group Co., Ltd. released the "Announcement of Bidding Results for Annual Procurement of Waterproofing Materials". Canlon was successfully selected as a winning bidder due to its excellent product quality and professional service capabilities. It will once again join hands with Shanghai Baoye to provide high-quality waterproofing system solutions for its key engineering projects.
In waterproofing solutions for roofs, basements, and municipal engineering projects, polymer waterproof membranes are undoubtedly the mainstream choice today, with TPO and PVC being the two core materials. However, many homeowners, renovation professionals, and even newcomers to the industry easily confuse the two – both are polymer membranes, both can be hot-air welded, and both are high-performance roofing materials, but their actual materials, lifespans, and applicable scenarios are quite different! Today, Canlon will use simple, popular science language, avoiding obscure academic formulas, to help you understand the essential differences between the two types of roll materials and provide practical selection advice for different usage scenarios.
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.
Recently, the list of winners of the 2023 Jiangsu Province Governor's Quality Award was officially announced. Jiangsu Canlon Building Materials Co., Ltd. has won recognition and awards from the provincial government for its years of intensive cultivation and persistence in the field of polymer waterproof materials. It has become one of the 10 provincial governor’s quality award-winning companies and is also the only company in Suzhou City on the list.
