Wang Hanhong, Secretary-General of the Calcium Silicate Cement Board Branch of China Concrete and Cement-based Products Association (CCPA), introduced that the application of Calcium Silicate Fiber-reinforced Cement Board on wall-system will have a bright prospect in the future.

With the application of calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board in the wall-system, the recognition of calcium silicate board products by design institutes, construction units and real estate owners has gradually increased. Calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board has been used as interior partition wall, ceiling and exterior wall in some key buildings and high-rise buildings in Beijing, Dalian and Shanghai.

In terms of industrial policy, the national industrial policy made by the government strongly supports the development of new building materials industry. Calcium silicate fibre-reinforced board has been listed as a key development item in the construction material industry policy promulgated by the government. Therefore, the application of calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board on the wall-system will have a broader prospect.

For the development planning, the rapid development of the national economy and the requirements of housing industrialization have greatly promoted the entry of new building materials into the market. After a long-term market test, calcium silicate fiber-reinforced cement board products have been widely praised by industry users. At present, the use of calcium silicate fiber cement board in China is developing rapidly.

Starting from the concept of building a conservation-oriented society, the steel structure construction industry is calling for a new type of enclosure material and system suitable for steel structure construction, which requires light weight, fast construction and good performance of buildings. Therefore, calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board is the first choice of lightweight wall-system for prefabricated building and steel structure, especially for high-rise steel structure to improve fire resistance and special function.

With the use of calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board as wall material, it is significant in reducing the total cost of building by reducing the amount of steel used due to the reduction of the self-weight of structures. Meanwhile, it also promotes the development of prefabricated building and steel structure, especially high-rise steel structure. Calcium silicate fibre-reinforced cement board has the advantage in the coordination of prefabricated building and steel structure, and is now becoming a popular wall material in the industrial chain of high-rise steel structure industry.
