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.
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.
The National Building Standard Design Atlas 25J950, "Building Waterproofing," is an important guide for professionals in the building waterproofing industry. It provides detailed descriptions of waterproofing projects for metal roof panels and polymer membrane metal composite profiled sheet roofs, offering a unified and scientific technical reference for the Chinese building waterproofing industry. In the compilation of this national standard atlas, Canlon not only contributed its waterproofing expertise as a participating unit, but the technical standards for its representative innovative product—the polymer membrane metal composite profiled sheet system—were also included in Chapter 10. Let's take a look at the relevant content.
The roof is the part of the building envelope most directly affected by the external environment. The design of its waterproofing and insulation system directly determines the building's durability and energy efficiency. Based on the relative positions of the waterproofing layer and the insulation layer, flat roof projects can be divided into three basic types: upright, inverted, and sandwich. Understanding the principles and applicable conditions of these three structural systems is fundamental to roof project design.
In the development history of building waterproofing materials, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) membranes have undergone a technical transformation from "widely questioned" to "mature and reliable." The embrittlement and cracking issues caused by plasticizer migration in early products once cast a shadow over this material. However, after decades of formulation optimization and technological iteration, modern PVC membranes have become an indispensable choice in underground engineering, tunnel and bridge projects, and roofing waterproofing, thanks to their cost-effectiveness and full-scenario applicability. This article traces the evolutionary path of PVC membranes, analyzes the technical logic behind their green upgrade, and highlights the innovative practices of industry benchmark enterprises.
Whether it's waterproofing and renovation of a residential roof or waterproofing construction of concrete roofs for shops and factories, the PVC mechanical fixing solution for concrete roofs has become a highly popular choice in recent years due to its advantages of high efficiency, strong stability, and wide adaptability among many waterproofing solutions. What is mechanical fastening? How does it differ from traditional adhesive methods? Why is it suitable for concrete roofs? Can it be used on my own roof? Canlon will explain it all for you today.
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.
On December 18, 2025, the Hainan Free Trade Port will officially launch the island-wide customs closure, marking a landmark step in China's opening up to the outside world. The construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port is a major reform and opening-up initiative personally planned, deployed, and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping. The official launch of the island-wide customs closure marks a crucial leap for the Hainan Free Trade Port towards its highest level of openness. In the process of contributing to the nation's new development pattern, Canlon has also actively participated, providing high-quality roofing system solutions for the Hainan Free Trade Port.
TMP® Integrated Panel combines the simple and quick installation method of traditional steel roofs with the weather resistance and corrosion resistance of polymer waterproof layers, effectively solving the pain points of traditional steel roofs that are prone to rust and leakage due to chemical corrosion. It can provide a minimum warranty period of 25 years and is an innovative product that has won the China Patent Award·Waterproof Industry Patent Gold Award, providing a new choice for industrial and commercial roofs in the new era.
