From May 18 to 20, the 27th Waterproofing Technology Exchange Conference (the “518 Conference”) was grandly held in Zhuhai, Guangdong. With the core theme of “Innovation-Driven Upgrading, Quality and Efficiency Empowering the Industry,” the event brought together leading experts, industry‑leading enterprises, research institutes, and engineering professionals from across China. Focusing on cutting-edge technological breakthroughs, pathways for industrial upgrading, innovations in rigid waterproofing, and practical applications in construction rehabilitation, the conference established a high‑level, specialized platform for technical exchange and the showcasing of achievements spanning the entire industry chain. It is one of the most influential annual industry events in China’s waterproofing sector.

Zhengzhou Jianwen Special Materials Technology Co., Ltd. actively participated in technical seminars, industry exchanges, and product showcases, bringing with it its core innovative material technologies. During the conference’s flagship technical session, Zhang Shijie, General Manager of Jianwen Technology, delivered a keynote address titled “The Mechanism and Applications of Belite–Sulfoaluminate Cementitious Admixtures in Waterproofing.” With his in-depth technical analysis and practical insights into real-world engineering applications, he earned high praise and widespread acclaim from industry experts and attendees alike.

Drawing on Jianwen Technology’s decades of R&D expertise and practical engineering experience, General Manager Zhang Shijie began by examining the fundamental principles of materials science to systematically elucidate the hydration mechanism, microstructural characteristics, strength‑development patterns, and volumetric stability advantages of belite–sulfoaluminate cementitious binders. He further underscored the material’s pivotal role within waterproofing systems. In his presentation, General Manager Zhang leveraged real‑world project case studies to comprehensively share the material’s successful applications in rigid waterproofing, leak repair, basement seepage control, specialized mortar formulation, and high‑performance repair and reinforcement. By grounding his analysis in field‑tested data, he validated the technology’s value and offered the industry a fresh perspective and an efficient pathway for addressing persistent leakage issues and upgrading waterproofing solutions.

With its rigorous academic argumentation, outstanding innovative value, and strong practical engineering guidance, the paper was successfully recognized as an Outstanding Paper at the 27th Waterproofing Technology Exchange Conference. This honor not only reflects the industry organizing committee’s high regard for General Manager Zhang Shijie’s professional research achievements but also serves as authoritative recognition of Jianwen Technology’s long-term dedication to R&D in specialty building materials and its steadfast commitment to technology‑driven innovation. It marks a significant milestone: the company’s research findings in the waterproofing applications of belite–sulphoaluminate cementitious materials have officially reached an advanced level within the industry and earned widespread acclaim from the professional community.

As an innovative enterprise dedicated to the R&D, production, and application of specialized cementitious materials, Zhengzhou Jianwen Special Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has consistently upheld the development philosophy of “Jianwen Technology: Technology First,” continuously investing in cutting-edge research and driving the industrialization of scientific breakthroughs, the scenario‑based deployment of product technologies, and the standardization of system solutions. Its participation in the 27th Waterproofing Technology Exchange Conference and receipt of an award for an outstanding paper not only recognize its past achievements but also mark the beginning of a new chapter. Looking ahead, Jianwen Technology will remain committed to: deepening R&D in core material technologies and steadily upgrading its Belite Sulfoaluminate Cementitious Admixture product line; collaborating with industry partners to jointly advance innovations in waterproofing technology; and leveraging robust technological capabilities to enhance the quality and efficiency of construction projects—addressing leakage challenges at their source and ensuring the long-term safety and durability of buildings.

Returning in triumph, we press forward without pause. Taking this industry‑leading event as an opportunity, Jianwen Technology will continue to deepen its commitment to innovation in the specialty building materials sector, accelerate the commercialization of cutting‑edge technologies, and, with higher‑standard products, more professional technical solutions, and more pragmatic engineering services, help drive the high‑quality development of China’s architectural waterproofing industry—laying a solid protective foundation for better buildings and superior projects.
