Construction Industry Innovation Through ACENANO Technology
The construction industry is evolving toward building sustainable and smart infrastructure by using stronger, longer-lasting, and more energy-efficient materials. However, conventional building materials such as concrete, insulation materials, and glass have various limitations, including cracking, reduced insulation performance, and environmental issues. Our Top-Down Nano technology can process natural substances into uniform nano powders with particle sizes of 30–900 nm (D50 or higher) without altering their original taste, aroma, or color, and provides technology that can precisely classify them to the desired particle size afterward. Through this, various advanced construction materials can be developed, including ultra-high-strength concrete, self-healing coatings, nano insulation materials, and smart energy-saving windows.
In particular, we have succeeded in developing concrete stronger than steel and realized an innovative technology that nano-sizes slag generated from steel production to solve environmental issues, using it as a raw material for ultra-high-strength concrete capable of withstanding earthquakes of magnitude 15.
| Nano-Engineered Concrete | Existing Problems |
| Conventional concrete is prone to cracking and has relatively low durability, requiring continuous maintenance. The cement production process generates high carbon emissions, making it a major contributor to environmental pollution. Conventional concrete also lacks sufficient earthquake resistance, creating a risk of structural collapse during major disasters. | |
| Effects of Applying Nano Solutions | |
| Ultra-high-strength concrete using slag-based nano additives can achieve higher compressive and tensile strength than conventional steel. Nano reinforcement technology prevents micro-cracks and dramatically extends the lifespan of structures. Nano concrete capable of withstanding earthquakes of magnitude 15 has been developed, significantly improving seismic design standards. |
| Self-Healing Nano Coating | Existing Problems |
| Cracks and wear occur on the surfaces of concrete and building materials, requiring continuous maintenance. Moisture penetration and weather changes can cause long-term structural damage. | |
| Effects of Applying Nano Solutions | |
| Self-healing nano coating contains microcapsules that automatically repair cracks when they occur, helping reduce maintenance costs. Building materials with nano water-repellent coating have enhanced waterproofing and corrosion resistance, increasing long-term durability. When nano anti-pollution coating is applied, contaminants and graffiti can be removed more easily, reducing cleaning costs. |
| Nano Insulation Materials | Existing Problems |
| Conventional insulation materials are bulky and their performance deteriorates over time, gradually reducing insulation effectiveness. Insufficient insulation increases heating and cooling costs, leading to higher building energy consumption. | |
| Effects of Applying Nano Solutions | |
| Nano aerogel insulation provides more than five times the insulation performance of conventional materials, maximizing space efficiency as an ultra-thin insulation material. By applying nano phase change materials (PCM), heat can be stored and released to optimize indoor temperature control and reduce energy consumption. Ultra-thin nano insulation coating can be easily applied to existing buildings, maximizing building energy efficiency. |
| Smart Nano Windows | Existing Problems |
| Conventional glass absorbs excessive solar heat, increasing indoor temperature and raising cooling costs. Ordinary windows allow significant heat loss, increasing heating costs. | |
| Effects of Applying Nano Solutions | |
| Smart windows with nano coating automatically control light and heat transmission, reducing cooling and heating costs by up to 40%. Glass with self-cleaning nano coating uses sunlight to automatically remove contaminants, reducing maintenance costs. When electronic nano windows are applied, window transparency can be automatically adjusted according to changes in temperature and sunlight. |
| Nano Eco-Friendly Cement | Existing Problems |
| Cement production accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions, making it difficult to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Large amounts of slag waste are generated during steel production, causing environmental pollution issues. | |
| Effects of Applying Nano Solutions | |
| By nano-sizing slag and using it as a cement substitute, CO₂ emissions can be reduced while strength is improved. When nano-activated cement technology is applied, higher strength can be achieved with fewer raw materials, reducing construction costs. When nano-reinforced geopolymer cement is applied, it can achieve higher strength than Portland cement while securing eco-friendly properties. |
ACENANO’s Top-Down Nano technology enables improved material strength, increased durability, self-healing functionality, and enhanced energy efficiency in the construction industry.
In particular, nano-sized slag utilization technology helps solve environmental issues while enabling the development of ultra-high-strength concrete capable of withstanding earthquakes of magnitude 15, driving innovation in the construction industry.
By controlling the microstructure of concrete at the nanoscale, it achieves tensile strength comparable to steel and realizes an ultra-high-strength seismic design system that is extremely resistant to external impacts such as earthquakes.
By applying intelligent coating technology that detects and heals micro-cracks on its own, it prevents building corrosion, dramatically reduces maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of structures.
By introducing nano insulation materials with up to five times better thermal blocking performance than conventional materials, it helps maintain stable indoor temperatures and dramatically reduces heating and cooling energy consumption across the entire building.
Through nano film technology that automatically adjusts light transmittance according to outdoor temperature and solar radiation, it creates a comfortable indoor environment and realizes energy-saving, eco-friendly buildings.
By dramatically reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions generated during cement manufacturing and construction while increasing resource recycling efficiency, it builds a future-oriented construction ecosystem that minimizes environmental impact.
