Prefabricated building refers to a building in which some or all of the components are prefabricated in the factory and then assembled on the construction site. Compared with traditional building construction, prefabricated construction can reduce construction waste, energy consumption, noise and dust pollution during construction, which could help improve quality and safety standards.

Given the opportunities from the vigorous development on the prefabricated construction in China, together with the development strategy of the industrial chain extension, China Resources Cement had further optimized resources distribution through its positioning in Southern China and actively promoted its prefabricated construction business.

2017

CR Cement has started to involve in the field of prefabrication.

2018

In May, Dongguan RunYang United Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd., an associate jointly established by CR Cement and Shenzhen Capol International & Associates Co., Ltd., had commenced production and operation. The main products include prefabricated shear walls, prefabricated external slabs, and laminated floor slabs, which can fully cover prefabricated components for buildings, interiors and landscape. The associate is committed to providing customers with systematic solutions to prefabricated buildings which integrate product design, production, manufacturing, construction and installation.

The Company successfully won the bid for the industrial land in Nanning City and Guigang City of Guangxi, and Zhanjiang City of Guangdong respectively for the production of prefabricated construction components.

2020

In January, CR Cement acquired land for the production of prefabricated construction components in Jiangmen City of Guangdong and Laibin City of Guangxi. In April, the Company acquired land for the production of prefabricated construction components in Baise City of Guangxi.

Phase 1 production line of precast concrete components of the Guigang Runhe Project had commenced trail production in June.

2021

Ding'an Runfeng had commenced trial production in April. As of the year end of 2021, we had 5 projects in operation (including trial production) and 2 projects under construction. Following the completion of construction, the designed annual production capacity of precast concrete components is expected to reach 1.6 million m3.

Relevant information of the projects is outlined below:

*The Group holds 49% equity interests of the associate DongGuan RunYang United Intelligent Manufacturing Company Limited.

^According to project type, the dry-mixed mortar and tile adhesive production lines of the project are shown in the chapter of "Functional Building Materials".

Functional building materials refer to non-load-bearing materials with architectural functions such as waterproofing, fireproofing, heat preservation, heat insulation, lighting, sound insulation and decoration. In order to get closer to the end-user and promote the extension of the industrial chain, China Resources Cement has established a functional building materials business unit, responsible for the overall management of engineered stone, natural stone, white cement, tile adhesive and other businesses.

The functional building materials sectionision uses Shenzhen Runfeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. as its investment, research and development and marketing platform and has two subsidiaries, Dongguan Universal Classical New Material Co., Ltd. and Laibin Global Classic New Building Material Co., Ltd.

Shenzhen Runfeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. was established on September 18, 2018. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Resources Cement with a registered capital of RMB 780 million. It acquired 20.0061% of Universal Marble (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. in April 2019 and, together with the 19.9939% shares acquired in January 2019, holds a total of 40% equity stakes of Universal Marble. It also completed the acquisition of Dongguan Universal Classical New Material Co., Ltd. in January 2021. There are two engineered stone production plants in Dongguan, Guangdong and Laibin, Guangxi, one tile adhesive production plant in Fengkai, Guangdong, and one white cement production plant in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The total annual production capacity of engineered stone, tile adhesive and white cement production lines in operation and under construction is 5.1 million m2, 400,000 tons and 400,000 tons respectively.

Utilizing the Italian Breton production line and process technology, engineered stone has six advantages: green and environmentally-friendly, top-of-the-line fire protection, large sizes, good weather resistance, rich colors and processes and easy installation and worry-free installation.

China Resources Cement will focus on the exploration and development of calcium-based materials, basalt materials and silicon-based materials.

Calcium-based materials are used in industries such as plastics, coatings, papermaking, rubber, food and medicine and building materials to produce highly active calcium oxide and provide flux lime products for iron and steel enterprises.

Calcium-based filling materials are split between heavy calcium and light calcium, which are mainly used in industries such as papermaking, plastics and rubber industries. Calcium oxide is mainly used in metallurgical fluxes.

The performance of basalt fiber is better than that of glass fiber, and there is greater room for replacement of steel bars and other fibers. Basalt stone material has the characteristics of high hardness, high strength, good wear resistance, high sliding coefficient and strong adhesion to asphalt. It is one of the best stone materials for high-grade highway surfaces, airport runways and railway ballasts. It is also a raw material for the production of cast stone, basalt paper, lime volcanic cement without clinker, decorative panels and man-made fibers. It is also an energy-saving raw material in the ceramic industry.

Basalt fiber is one of the four major high-performance fibers in China, and it has good chemical stability, chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, excellent mechanical strength, tensile strength and sound insulation and heat insulation properties. It is widely used in fields such as industrial pipes, adsorption, filter materials, construction and transportation.

(1) It is one of the better materials used in the construction of roads, railways, and airport runways.

(2) It is a high-quality raw material for the production of "cast stone".

(3) It is a good building decoration material, and is especially a better choice for floor stone.

(4) Porous basalt is a good aggregate, abrasive material, filter, dryer and catalyst for lightweight concrete in high-rise buildings.

(5) It acts as a "lubricant" in an advanced steel casting process.

From ordinary quartz sand to high-purity quartz materials to high-end single crystal silicon materials, silicon-based materials have a wide range of situations in which they are applicable.

High-purity quartz (>6N*) is a key material for the "stranglehold" key areas of semiconductors and integrated circuits. Silicon-based materials plays an important role in the quality and progress of China's infrastructure construction, the guarantee of raw materials and product quality of China's basic industries such as glass, quartz stone sheet, rubber, casting, tile glue, dry mortar, textiles and chemicals, as well as the development of China's energy and high-tech industries such as photovoltaics, optical fibers and semiconductors.
