Recently, Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huaxin) announced that it has successfully developed the first Ultra-High Performance Concrete products with compressive strength up to 600MPa or more in China, and it is able to produce on an industrial scale.

This breakthrough not only marks Huaxin's leading position in the field of Ultra-High Performance Concrete, but will also provide unprecedented material support for the construction of national defense projects and other key projects.

Defense and other special engineering protection structures need to be considered to face high strain rates, high-speed impact loads, instantaneous high temperatures and other extreme conditions, the strength of the protective structure materials have stringent requirements. Ultra-High Performance Concrete, as a new generation of cement-based composite materials with ultra-high strength, high toughness and high durability, receives key attention from domestic and international key project builders. However, limited by material, process and other factors, the strength of the most widely used Ultra-High-Performance Concrete in the past is usually 120-160MPa, which can only partially meet the material requirements of the defense engineering protective structure. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop mature preparation technology for higher strength grade Ultra-High Performance Concrete.

Huaxin's materials R&D team, based on the theory of multi-source intensity enhancement theory, broke through the conventional means of preparation and successfully developed this Ultra-High Performance Concrete with “steel-like” property. In the laboratory test, it shows amazing hardness and strength, and can even make high-quality steel deformation even cracking in the mutual extrusion with high-hardness steel materials.

In recent years, Huaxin insists on fostering the development of new quality productivity, devotes itself to the research and development of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete, creates the brand of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete, Chaokelong^®, and its subsidiary, Huaxin Chaokelong New Building Materials Technology (Huangshi) Co., Ltd., is recognized as a national high-tech enterprise. Through technological research, Huaxin has formed a total solution for the research and development, production, design and construction of Ultra-High Performance Concrete materials, with completely independent intellectual property rights.

At present, Huaxin Chaokelong^® can be strengthened with different mechanical properties and improved construction techniques according to the needs, making the construction of projects in special environments more efficient, economical and safe, and it has been successfully applied in the construction of a number of key projects, such as cross-sea bridges, large-scale hydroelectric power stations, environmentally friendly factories, airports, etc., which contributes to the promotion of Chinese path to modernization, with the power of Huaxin.
