China's construction industry is booming, and the Chinese government has been playing an active role in promoting green building. LANXESS has been working with the XPS Professional Committee of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association in Beijing on fire safety seminars with more than 150 materials. Businesses, builders, architects, associations and policy makers gathered to discuss the future of sustainable fire safety solutions for insulation materials in China's construction industry.
'China is accelerating the new urbanization construction of 'people-oriented', and LANXESS is also actively involved. Safety building is an important area for our deep involvement. We hope that through this conference, we will work with the XPS Special Committee to build a party for the industry. The platform of communication highlights the importance of flame retardants in building materials and escorts the green, fire and safety of buildings. 'Lan Shengzhong, CEO of LANXESS Greater China, said.
One of the challenges facing China today is to improve the ecological balance through energy conservation. In recent years, China's green building policy has been continuously developed, and energy conservation is still a very important goal. The fire safety standards for buildings using organic insulation materials are also An important part of the new standard for energy efficient buildings.
Safety and sustainability have become important factors in the insulation industry. In insulation systems, fire spread is affected by various factors, such as fire causes and building materials, including the burning properties of insulation materials and the structure of buildings, such as facade patterns. , facade openings and interior spaces, internal partitions, holes and installation types.
'Because of the development trend of global energy-efficient buildings, the flame retardant requirements for organic materials are increasing. Organic materials such as expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene (EPS, XPS) and rigid polyurethane foams have excellent thermal insulation properties. This enables the construction industry to use the corresponding sheet of material. LANXESS offers a comprehensive flame retardant product portfolio for insulation materials. Therefore, energy-efficient buildings and fire safety are mutually reinforcing relationships, 'Anno Borkowsky, Head of Additives Business Unit, LANXESS According to the doctor, 'China is the world's largest construction market. The number of newly built buildings accounts for half of the global total. China has great potential for energy conservation,' said Dr. Borkowsky.
At the fire safety seminar, more than 15 domestic and foreign experts from government, universities, institutions and industries will introduce a series of related topics, such as the development of green building materials in China, evaluation, certification and related policies, fire safety of building materials, China. Development of extruded polystyrene foam industry, building energy efficiency; future sustainable development solutions that are conducive to China's energy conservation goals.
As the concept of sustainable development becomes more and more popular, the market is also eager for more environmentally friendly and harmless flame retardants while demanding efficient fire performance. LANXESS believes that the public should not be forced to do between environmental and fire safety. The choices, but both, make LANXESS products meet high standards in terms of flame retardancy and environmental sustainability.
