New construction materials enter the scene

Enterprises in the field of manufacturing new materials in Vietnam have seen the potential of the consumption market. Therefore, it has also boldly invested heavily in equipment, bought production lines from developed countries, so product quality is improved, and at the same time, it has more functions such as insulation, fire resistance, resistance bacteria.

According to Mr. Thai Duy Sam, General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Building Materials (VABM), from 2020, the construction market tends to use light materials. This trend has appeared over the past 5 years, but until now, it has really been noticed by many construction enterprises. And it is forecasted that the domestic construction market will increase the consumption of this type of product (unburnt bricks, ultralight stone or insulation panels manufactured by high technologies...) due to many advantages. Up to now, lightweight construction materials have been available in most structures, from walls, walls, ceilings, roofs, doors, facades... Many contractors choose the group of lightweight materials in construction, but still ensure ensure the requirements of the load-bearing structure of the building, increase the flexibility in the design.

Mr. Tran Thanh Hien, Director of Hien Nguyen Construction Trading Service Co., Ltd (Cong Hoa Street, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City) said that enterprises in the construction field, especially subcontractors contractors participating in the implementation of bidding packages under the contract signed with the main contractor in the construction project) are increasingly interested in the group of light and high-tech building materials such as unburnt bricks, insulating panels. thermal or construction products (houses to avoid floods) from 3D printing technology… There have been many construction projects where contractors have chosen new, lightweight materials to replace traditional materials, because of the advantages in light weight. , easy to transport, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. In fact, this demand has only started in the last 2 years, when there were many new products such as unburnt bricks, ultra-light stone, insulation panels manufactured by high technologies and techniques. complex with synchronous, closed chains.

According to Mr. Tong Van Nga, Chairman of VABM, Vietnam now has full national technical regulations on energy efficient construction works. Including regulations on the use of energy-saving construction materials, unburnt materials, installation of equipment using solar energy, biogas in construction works, etc. This has created favorable conditions for the group. New materials are used a lot in the works. Specifically, insulation panels in previous years were mainly built in high-tech livestock farms, aviation training areas, electronic goods factories, etc.

Up to now, the panel has been applied to civil construction because of its advantages in cost and construction conditions of prefab houses (in flood affected areas). Or in the construction of tourist resorts, homestay services at the beach, people also choose insulation panels as the main building material.

Reality at the High-Tech Park of Ho Chi Minh City. In Ho Chi Minh City (District 9), there is an Aviation Training Center with an area of ​​​​over 3,000 m2, built entirely of insulation panels. Comparing the advantages, the new group of building materials is now popular with many advantages such as, saving time and labor because of fast construction, 300 m2 floor area constructed in two weeks, compared to two months of construction. using traditional construction methods and materials. Next is the light factor, if 1m2 of unburnt brick walls only need 8 bricks, then baked bricks need 65 bricks plus cement and sand. In terms of cost, when completing the work, a house built with insulation panels has the construction cost, including the cost of materials and finishing, only 20% compared to the conventional raw construction method.

Currently, enterprises in the field of manufacturing new materials in Vietnam have seen the potential of the consumption market. Therefore, it has also boldly invested heavily in equipment, bought production lines from developed countries, so the product quality is improved, and at the same time, it has more functions such as insulation, fire resistance, resistance to fire, etc. In particular, the new material group also meets the trend of green construction, is environmentally friendly, and meets the criteria for sustainable construction industry development.
