Fly-ash Bricks

We produce fly-ash bricks through Yulong Bricks, which operates our brick plant located adjacent to our headquarters in Pingdingshan. We currently produce 13 standard sizes of bricks, ranging from 0.012 to 0.054 m³.

Traditional bricks in China are made up primarily of cement, which is mixed with water and silt, pressed into a mold for shaping, and then fired in a kiln, or furnace, at temperature of between 900 and 1000 degree Celsius to harden and achieve strength.

We use reclaimed fly-ash primarily as a substitute for cement, and at least 30% of each of our bricks is fly-ash. We believe that fly-ash reduces both the density and heat conductivity of our bricks without sacrificing their durability and strength.

In addition, because the fly-ash is reclaimed waste, our bricks are consistent with government policies such as the national energy conservation policy that the Chinese central government announced at the beginning of calendar year 2013. By recycling fly-ash for our bricks, our brick-making process is a viable and environmentally friendly solution to the fly-ash disposal problem by helping to reduce landfill space.

Our bricks are primarily used in and around Pingdingshan, in industrial, commercial and residential construction for foundation and structural walls.

Our production process is ISO:9000 certified by Beijing ZhongDaHuaYuan Certification Center, which certification is nationally recognized, including by the Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision of Henan Province.
