Under the dual carbon target, brucite powder aluminum-plastic panels have become the new favorite of building environmental protection

In the context of global efforts to address climate change, the "dual carbon" goals (i.e. peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality) have become a common pursuit for governments and businesses around the world. In China, this goal has been elevated to the level of national strategy. As one of the major energy consumers, the construction industry is facing unprecedented transformation pressure and opportunities. In such a large environment, a new type of environmentally friendly material - aluminum-plastic panels containing brucite powder, has gradually become a new favorite in the construction market due to its excellent performance and significant carbon reduction effect.

1、 The 'dual carbon' challenge in the construction industry

The construction industry is one of the main sources of global greenhouse gas emissions, and it is estimated that its lifetime carbon emissions account for nearly 40% of the global total. From the production of building materials to the construction process, to the use and eventual demolition of buildings, every step is accompanied by significant energy consumption and carbon emissions. In order to achieve the ambitious goal of "peak carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060" set by the country, the construction industry must accelerate the pace of green transformation.

However, traditional building materials often have problems such as low resource utilization, high energy consumption, and difficulty in recycling, making it difficult to meet the requirements of low-carbon development. Therefore, it is urgent to find a new type of material that can meet the needs of modern architecture and effectively reduce carbon footprint.

2、 Magnesite powder: assisting in the green upgrade of aluminum-plastic panels

Magnesite powder is a natural mineral powder mainly composed of magnesium hydroxide, which has been widely used in the field of architectural decoration in recent years. Adding it as a flame retardant to the core material of aluminum-plastic panels not only significantly improves the fire safety of the product, but also brings a series of environmentally friendly features:

·Zero halogen environmental protection: does not contain any halogen elements, does not release toxic or harmful substances during combustion, and complies with international environmental standards such as RoHS.

·Efficient heat absorption: Absorbs a large amount of heat during the thermal decomposition process, reduces the surface temperature of the material, and delays the combustion process.

·Low carbon manufacturing: Compared to traditional synthetic flame retardants, the mining and processing process of brucite powder is more energy-efficient and has lower overall carbon emissions.

·Easy to recycle: The unique physical and chemical properties make aluminum-plastic panels containing magnesia powder easier to separate and process, which helps to improve the reuse rate of waste materials.

These advantages make brucite powder an important force in promoting the development of aluminum-plastic panels towards green and environmentally friendly direction.

3、 Multiple benefits of brucite powder aluminum-plastic panel

By applying brucite powder to aluminum-plastic panels, not only can its safety and durability be improved, but it can also contribute to the sustainable development of building projects in multiple aspects:

1. Significantly reduce carbon emissions

Research has shown that replacing traditional halogenated flame retardants with brucite powder can reduce the carbon emissions of aluminum-plastic panels by about 50% throughout their entire lifecycle. This is mainly due to the following aspects:

·The preparation process of brucite powder has low energy consumption;

·Reduced the demand for petrochemical based resins, thereby lowering the carbon footprint during the production phase;

·During combustion, no secondary pollutants such as dioxins are produced, reducing the environmental burden after a fire.

2. Improve product lifespan

Magnesite powder has certain UV resistance and antioxidant properties, which can effectively delay the aging rate of aluminum-plastic panels and extend their service life. This means that the frequency of material updates required per unit time decreases, indirectly reducing the additional carbon emissions generated by frequent replacements.

3. Promote the circular economy model

Due to the presence of brucite powder, discarded aluminum-plastic panels are easier to physically sort and recycle. For example, metal aluminum can be separated from plastic core materials through mechanical crushing, magnetic separation, and other methods, and used for regeneration granulation or direct reuse, forming a closed-loop supply chain and further reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

4、 Practical application case sharing

Several well-known construction companies and design institutions have begun to explore and apply aluminum-plastic panels containing magnesia powder. For example, in a large commercial complex project, the designer chose this environmentally friendly aluminum-plastic panel as the curtain wall material, which not only enhances the overall beauty of the building's appearance, but more importantly, through evaluating the carbon emissions of the entire project, it was found that compared to using traditional materials, the project successfully reduced carbon emissions by more than 30%.

In addition, some local governments also prioritize the use of aluminum-plastic panels containing magnesia powder in public facility construction to demonstrate support for green development concepts and encourage more private sector participation.

5、 Future Development Direction and Prospects

With the continuous promotion of the "dual carbon" target and the continuous improvement of related policy measures, it is expected that in the next few years, aluminum-plastic panels containing magnesia powder will occupy a larger share in the construction market. At the same time, research on this new material will continue to deepen, which is expected to bring more technological innovations:

·The application of nanoscale brucite powder will further enhance its flame retardancy and dispersion uniformity, thereby improving product quality.

·Research and development of multifunctional composite materials: Combining other high-performance additives, we have developed a new type of building material that integrates functions such as fire prevention, waterproofing, and sound insulation.

·Intelligent management system: With the help of IoT technology, real-time monitoring of energy consumption in various parts of the building, optimization of resource allocation, and maximum reduction of carbon emissions during operation.

In short, with its excellent environmental performance and economic benefits, brucite powder aluminum-plastic panels will become a powerful tool to promote the construction industry towards a green future.

In the context of global climate change, the proposal of the "dual carbon" target has pointed out the direction for various industries to move forward. For the construction industry, choosing suitable environmentally friendly materials is a crucial step in achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. Water magnesium stone powder aluminum-plastic panel stands out among many competitors with its unique advantages and has become the new favorite of building environmental protection.

For the majority of construction enterprises, actively embracing new technologies and materials is not only a concrete action in response to the national call, but also an effective way to win market competition and shape brand image. Let's work together to create a greener and healthier building environment.
