400;"><em><strong>The construction industry is experiencing a transformative phase, driven by advances in construction chemical technology. As we navigate through 2024, it’s clear that innovations in this sector are setting new standards for performance, sustainability and efficiency</strong></em> <h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Sustainable and eco-friendly chemicals</strong></h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sustainability remains a central theme in construction and chemical technology is no exception. In 2024, the emphasis on eco-friendly solutions has intensified, leading to the development of several innovative products: <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Bio-Based Admixtures: A new generation of bio-based admixtures, derived from renewable sources like plant extracts and agricultural by-products, is gaining traction. These admixtures not only reduce the carbon footprint but also enhance the properties of concrete, such as strength and durability.</li> <li>Low-VOC and Zero-VOC Products: The push for healthier indoor environments has led to the creation of low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and zero-VOC coatings, sealers, and adhesives. These products minimise harmful emissions and contribute to improved air quality, making them ideal for use in residential and commercial buildings.</li> <li>Recyclable and Biodegradable Materials: Advances in polymer chemistry have resulted in the development of recyclable and biodegradable construction chemicals. These materials reduce environmental impact and address the growing concern of waste management in the construction industry.</li> </ul> <h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Enhanced concrete performance</strong></h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Concrete remains a cornerstone of construction, and innovations in chemical technology are continually enhancing its performance. In 2024, several key advancements stand out: <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>High-Performance Superplasticisers: New formulations of superplasticisers are improving the workability and strength of concrete. These advanced admixtures allow for lower water content while maintaining or even enhancing the flowability and strength of the mix.</li> <li>Self-Healing Concrete: The concept of self-healing concrete has moved beyond the research phase and is now being implemented in real-world applications. New self-healing technologies incorporate bacteria or capsules containing healing agents that activate when cracks form, automatically repairing minor damages and extending the lifespan of concrete structures.</li> <li>Nanotechnology in Concrete: Nanotechnology is making waves in concrete chemistry. Nano-silica and nano-titanium dioxide are being used to enhance the mechanical properties, durability, and resistance to environmental factors like UV radiation and chemical attacks.</li> </ul> <h3>READ MORE:</h3> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="1bpzckNdW0"><p><a href="https://www.polymerspaintcolourjournal.com/the-coatings-industry-is-facing-many-challenges-some-of-which-can-very-well-become-opportunities-ppcj-speaks-to-chemquests-latest-vice-president-sharon-feng/">“The coatings industry is facing many challenges, some of which can very well become opportunities”: PPCJ speaks to ChemQuest’s latest Vice President, Sharon Feng</a></blockquote> <p><iframe class="wp-embedded-content lazyload" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;" title="““The coatings industry is facing many challenges, some of which can very well become opportunities”: PPCJ speaks to ChemQuest’s latest Vice President, Sharon Feng” — Polymers Paint Colour Journal" data-src="https://www.polymerspaintcolourjournal.com/the-coatings-industry-is-facing-many-challenges-some-of-which-can-very-well-become-opportunities-ppcj-speaks-to-chemquests-latest-vice-president-sharon-feng/embed/#?secret=M1NOYMVjLq#?secret=1bpzckNdW0" data-secret="1bpzckNdW0" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-load-mode="1"></iframe> <h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Smart and intelligent coatings</strong></h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The advent of smart coatings is revolutionising the approach to maintenance and protection in construction: <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Self-Cleaning Coatings: Using photocatalytic materials like titanium dioxide, self-cleaning coatings are now available that use sunlight to break down dirt and pollutants on building surfaces. This technology reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance, ultimately extending the lifespan of exterior surfaces.</li> <li>Thermochromic and Photochromic Coatings: These innovative coatings change colour in response to temperature (thermochromic) or light (photochromic) changes. They offer potential benefits for thermal regulation and aesthetic customisation in buildings.</li> <li>Sensor-Embedded Coatings: The integration of sensors into coatings allows for real-time monitoring of structural health. These sensors can detect stress, moisture levels, and temperature changes, providing valuable data for predictive maintenance and ensuring the longevity of structures.</li> </ul> <h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Advanced sealants and adhesives</strong></h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sealants and adhesives play a crucial role in ensuring structural integrity and efficiency. In 2024, several advancements are improving their performance:</div><div class="editor-content"> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Hybrid Sealants: Hybrid sealants, combining properties of silicones and polyurethanes, are offering enhanced adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to weathering. These sealants are suitable for a wide range of applications, including joints, seams, and glazing.</li> <li>Fast-Curing Adhesives: New formulations of fast-curing adhesives are reducing construction time by significantly decreasing setting and curing times. These adhesives are particularly useful in high-traffic areas or projects with tight deadlines.</li> <li>Fire-Resistant Sealants: The development of fire-resistant sealants that can withstand extreme temperatures without degrading is enhancing safety in buildings. These sealants are critical for maintaining fire barriers and preventing the spread of flames and smoke.</li> </ul> <h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Green chemistry and circular economy</strong></h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The principles of green chemistry and circular economy are increasingly influencing the development of construction chemicals: <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Cradle-to-Cradle Design: Chemicals and materials designed with cradle-to-cradle principles ensure that they can be fully recycled or safely returned to the environment. This approach minimises waste and promotes the use of materials that do not deplete natural resources.</li> <li>Closed-Loop Systems: Advances in chemical technology are enabling the creation of closed-loop systems where waste products are reprocessed and reused in the production of new materials.
