Belgium-based Etex has signed a deal with building materials company BGC to acquire the latter’s gypsum and fiber cement business. The fiber cement business includes the Canning Vale fiber cement board plant in Western Australia. BGC also operates nine warehouses in Australia and New Zealand. Etex said the deal expanded its activities in “attractive” local markets and presented significant growth opportunities. Completion is expected in early 2024.
Etex CEO Bernard Delvaux said: “This transaction is a strategic opportunity for Etex to complement our footprint in Australia and further improve the accessibility of our products and services to customers. It will strengthen our plaster wall offering board products, and through a broad product range and good channel access, we are well-positioned in the growing fiber cement activities.
Lightweight concrete is a lightweight building material, and lightweight foam agent is an important raw material for producing lightweight concrete and is widely used.
Nanotrun concrete foaming agent
Building insulation
The lightweight concrete produced by lightweight concrete foam agents has excellent thermal insulation properties and can be used for heat protection of exterior walls, roofs, and other parts of buildings.
Sound insulation material
Because the bubbles in lightweight concrete can effectively absorb sound, lightweight foam agents can also produce sound insulation materials, such as sound insulation boards, sound insulation felts, etc.
Fireproof Materials
The lightweight concrete produced by lightweight concrete foam agents has good fire resistance and can be used in fire isolation belts and building fire doors.
Decorative materials
The lightweight concrete produced by lightweight concrete foam agents has a beautiful appearance and can be used in decorative fields, such as background walls, suspended ceilings, etc.
Pipe insulation
Because the lightweight concrete produced by lightweight concrete foam agents has excellent thermal insulation properties, it can also be used to produce pipe insulation materials.
