UHPC Introduction
UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) is a revolutionary building material that can be used to create various flat panels, single-curved, double-curved, and functional special-shaped products, as well as artistic designs. It is currently the most popular next-generation product in the international building materials and decoration industry.
Why use UHPC?
Ultra-high strength, exceptional design freedom
UHPC can be made very thin, making it particularly suitable for modern complex curved hollow designs, architectural decorative facade panels, and artistic sculptures.
With a compressive strength ranging from 150 to 810 MPa, UHPC far exceeds that of ordinary concrete (15-30 MPa) and even cast iron (200 MPa). It also boasts excellent shear strength (≥25 MPa), thermal insulation, and waterproofing properties. Its dense structure effectively blocks the penetration of harmful substances.
Exceptional durability, hassle-free after installation
UHPC delivers exceptional durability
Its ultra-dense structure effectively withstands temperature fluctuations and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting aesthetic appeal. With outstanding crack resistance and self-healing properties for micro-cracks, it significantly reduces maintenance requirements.
The material offers superior weather resistance, making it ideal for long-term outdoor applications. When used in building facades and artistic installations, UHPC reduces lifecycle maintenance costs.
Superior moldability with refined texture
UHPC boasts a smooth, refined surface that blends visually with various vegetation/terrain, enabling highly perforated designs that expand creative possibilities for architects.
With inherent sound insulation and acoustic absorption properties, UHPC is particularly suitable for performance venues like grand theaters and concert halls where premium acoustics are required.
The material’s superior bonding capability allows seamless integration with decorative finishes – including paints, wood veneers, and textiles – enabling diverse aesthetic expressions.
Excellent fire resistance with modular construction efficiency
Certified as Class A fire-resistant material per GB8624-1997 standard, UHPC releases 15-20% of its own weight in moisture during fire incidents, effectively reducing surface temperature and retarding flame spread.
As prefabricated building components, UHPC enables efficient construction without on-site modifications. Simple hoisting installation makes it particularly suitable for time-sensitive projects.
