Translucent concrete has excellent decorative properties. How to combine it with new energy has become a hot research topic.

Translucent concrete uses cement as the raw material and is integrated with different light-guiding materials such as light-guiding fibers and resin materials, ultimately forming a modern technology of translucent cement. The “light transmittance” of light-transmitting concrete is the result of the interaction between concrete, fiber and light. That is, artificial light or natural light shines on the surface of light-transmitting concrete, and the optical fiber is transmitted from one end to the other end through the glass fiber, thereby achieving light transmission. Effect.

Translucent concrete is a new type of building material. Large translucent concrete components are often added with steel bars, stones and other raw materials to increase their strength. Depending on the light source, translucent concrete can emit light of different colors. In addition to retaining the characteristics of traditional concrete such as good formability, durability and weather resistance, good fire resistance, and resistance to deformation, it also has individuality, beauty, multi-function, energy saving, and fun. With its characteristics, it is suitable for making various landscape architectural products, decorative panels, decorative blocks, personalized lamps/furniture, etc.

According to the “2022-2027 China Translucent Concrete Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Translucent concrete appeared earlier, but due to the complex preparation process and high cost, the early development of translucent concrete was slow. After entering the 21st century, with the diversified development of demand, the development trend of new type and energy-saving concrete has emerged. Translucent concrete Application projects increased accordingly. At this stage, domestic translucent concrete suppliers include Zhejiang Sapphire Fair-faced Concrete, Guangzhou Jianhong Building Materials Co., Ltd., China Construction Technology Hunan Co., Ltd., etc.

Translucent concrete is a prefabricated material with a complicated production process. Factory prefabricated products can be divided into two forms: hanging boards and blocks. The installation and construction methods are mainly divided into two forms: dry hanging and masonry. Compared with luminous concrete, the disadvantage of translucent concrete is that it requires the use of power to achieve its own luminescence. Under energy shortages and power curtailment policies, the application of translucent concrete will be subject to certain restrictions.

Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy. In recent years, with technological progress and policy support, my country’s solar energy market has developed rapidly, and the scale of solar power generation has continued to increase. The combination of translucent concrete and solar energy not only solves the problem of power utilization of translucent concrete, but also gives translucent concrete a higher environmental protection concept. At this stage, how to combine solar energy with translucent concrete has become a hot research topic in the industry.

Industry analysts said that translucent concrete is a new type of building material that has characteristics such as personality, beauty, and interest, and is suitable for Suitable for commercial decoration, landscape architecture, personalized lighting/furniture and other scenes. Translucent concrete is superior to self-illuminating concrete in terms of interactivity and fun. In the future, with the in-depth integration of translucent concrete with new energy, the environmental protection of translucent concrete is expected to be further improved.
