New building materials are the trend of the development of the industry

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the "Transitional Development Strategy for China's Building Materials Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "strategy"). In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, *** has shifted its focus to economic development. Under the guidance of a series of policies such as reform and opening up, the building materials industry proposed in the mid-1990s that “from big to strong and new to strong "The core strategy is to lead the industry in healthy, rapid and sustainable development. Today, revisiting the content of the "strategy" still has practical significance.

Building materials are the oldest and most modern industries. They are the largest and most used materials. They are also materials that have been continuously developed and constantly renewed. They have great vitality. The world’s most outstanding buildings and structures from the oldest to the present all show the elegance of building materials. . Since the reform and opening up, China’s building materials industry has achieved rapid development through the unremitting efforts of several generations of people and leaders of the previous building materials departments. The building materials output has grown rapidly, the level of technology has been greatly improved, and the variety has increased, basically meeting the national economic construction. The demand of various departments for building materials products. By the 1980s, China had become the world's largest producer and consumer of building materials. However, many deep-seated contradictions were concealed under this "great power" laurels. As a result, the pattern of the first major building materials industry continued to develop, regardless of resources and energy. Or the environmental load will be overwhelmed.

For the sustainable development of the building materials industry, in the mid-1990s, at the turn of the 21st century, the party committee of the National Building Material Bureau examined the situation, timely organized the employees of the building materials industry, and scientifically analyzed the status quo (achievements and gaps) of the building materials industry. After researching and developing strategic thinking, development goals and policy measures, after nearly a year of research and expert demonstration by the industry, we have finally formed a distinctive banner (that is, strategic thinking) that is “from big to strong, relying on new growth” and “ There are two basic and four transformations, three steps, and eight strategies as the main content of the "Strategy."

Zou Jiahua, vice premier of the State Council at the time clearly pointed out when he heard the work report of the National Building Material Bureau: “Building materials industry must become a modern building materials and products industry with international competitiveness. It is impossible to rely on old technology and old products to participate in international competition. Cement, Glass, building and sanitary ceramics, wall materials, etc., will not work without innovation.We hope that the building materials industry will have new changes in ideological concepts. Everyone is demanding new innovations, relying on new ones, and realizing the desire to make the building materials industry stronger and stronger. "Say" in favor of the trans-century development strategy of the building materials industry proposed by the Party Committee of the National Building Material Administration, that is, shifting from a production-based increase to a focus on improving the quality of economic operations and economic efficiency, and gradually becoming a modernized international competitiveness. Building materials industry, this "strategy" is in line with the overall trend of China's economic development and the actual development of building materials industry." Zou Jiahua fully affirmed and highly evaluated the "strategy." I have published a commentary on this, that is, "Strategy" is a banner that unites and unites all building materials workers.

Since the "strategy" was released, the building materials industry has been formulating development plans for the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" building materials industries under the guidance of the national master plan. According to the actual conditions of the building materials industry, the "Strategy" Write in the direction indicated. In addition, from 1999 to 2000, the “Construction Materials Consultation Report” in the Consultation Project “Current Situation of China's Material Development and Countermeasures for the New Century” organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the National Medium and Long-Term Scientific and Technological Development Plan for 2004 The “Study on the Development of Science and Technology of Building Materials Manufacturing Industry” in the strategy study is also based on the direction specified in the “Strategy”, and it has organized dozens of industry experts to write it. This shows the important guiding principles of the Strategy.

"Strategy" is rich in content and highlights, indicating that the "three priorities and one initiative" of the structural adjustment of the building materials industry - the adjustment and development of wall material structure and new building materials and products, the structural adjustment of the cement industry and the acceleration of high-tech industrialization, As well as promoting the modernization of the flat glass and building sanitary ceramics industries from 2001 to 2010, the road map for the building materials industry has been highlighted.

Wall materials and new building materials (building materials) are basic constructions, especially building materials that solve people's livelihood problems and improve living conditions. At the end of the 1980s, the National Building Materials Bureau jointly with relevant departments, timely proposed system engineering of wall material innovation and promotion of energy-saving construction. This project is an effective way with policies and regulations as a guide, building applications as a leader, technological transformation as a means, and comprehensive utilization of resources, multi-sectoral cooperation, multi-level support, organized, targeted, measures, and technical support. System Engineering. This project will first solve the problems of destroying land, burning bricks, wasting energy, and polluting the environment. To solve these problems, it is necessary to formulate policies and regulations, that is, to solve problems by legal means, and at the same time, to organize and coordinate the implementation of the organization. Therefore, the four departments jointly set up a “wall reform office.”

Although the constituent departments have changed due to organizational reforms and other reasons, this organizational form still exists and still plays an important role. While solving the problem of destroying land and firing bricks, it also develops new types of building materials according to local conditions and uses industrial waste. Develop new materials (especially wall materials). After 20 years of hard work, the phenomenon of destroying and burning bricks has been well resolved. The proportion of new wall materials has increased from less than 5% at the beginning to more than 50% now, and the development of new wall materials has embarked on energy saving and emission reduction. , Green ecological track, the rapid development of new multifunctional wall materials, and has gone from simple material production to the production of parts.

The task of structural adjustment of the cement industry is based on the elimination of "little cement." In 1996, the National Building Materials Bureau proposed the “Limit, Elimination, Renovation, and Improvement” eight-character principle. At the same time, it proposed the “Greater and Smaller” and the development of new dry-process cement (at that time, the proportion of new dry-process cement was about 10%). At that time, the investment in the new dry process cement was too large, and the main technical equipment relied on imports. This brought financial difficulties to the “Shangda”. Therefore, the National Building Material Bureau proposed “low investment and localization” measures based on the actual situation at that time. In the 21st century, cement technicians have formed integrated, innovative technologies with independent intellectual property rights through the introduction, absorption, digestion, and re-innovation methods, so that the cement industry in China is equipped with independent knowledge represented by Jidong Cement and Ningguo Cement. The technology and equipment of property rights are cement technology equipment of Jiangxi 2000t/d to localized cement technology equipment of less than 5000t/d, and from import to export, the technical and economic indicators have reached the international advanced level. At present, the proportion of new dry process cement has reached 72%. This is a major breakthrough in the adjustment of China's cement structure. However, at the same time, the cement output is still in surplus, and the quality of cement remains uneven. Therefore, the structural adjustment of the cement industry still has a long way to go.

The glass industry has basically eliminated backward technologies such as lead-up and flat-pulling, adopted glass production technology represented by float glass technology, and developed electronic ultra-thin glass, Low-E glass, etc., and produced and developed vacuum glass and white glass on a large scale. We are actively developing glass-based materials for solar energy use.

Ceramic industry has entered the stage of self-development, and has formed a variety of building sanitary ceramics of various specifications, serialization, functionalization, water saving, etc., to meet the building sanitary ceramics for housing and public facilities in various fields, now saving water, saving resources and Energy thin construction ceramics and environmental sanitary ware development.

Since the reform and opening up, especially through the rapid development during the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period, “Tenth Five-Year Plan” and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the output of main products of building materials industry has basically met the needs of national economic construction, and the production technology level of major industries has approached. Or reached the world advanced level, the industrial structure adjustment has achieved remarkable results. While we rejoice at the tremendous changes taking place in the building materials industry, we should also soberly recognize the gap between China's building materials industry and the world's advanced level. Although China has become a major producer of building materials, it is not yet a strong building material manufacturer. Compared with the world's leading level, China's building materials processing products industry is slow to develop, lack of independent innovation capabilities; product quality is not high enough, lack of all types of high-level talent, there is no internationally renowned building materials brand products and manufacturing, service providers; industry-wide economy There is a clear gap between the technical indicators and the level of operation and management compared with the world advanced level.

Standing at a new historical starting point, looking back at the trans-century development of building materials and looking into the development prospects of the new century, we still have to adhere to the principle of “relying on new and stronger” and highlight the theme of “innovation” in the State Council and the State Department. Under the correct leadership, the wisdom and strength of the entire industry should be pooled to promote the sound and rapid development of the building materials industry.
