Introduction
From May 6 to 8, Build4Asia 2026 (Asia’s Premier Exhibition for Innovative Property Facility Management, Security, Building and Electrical Engineering) was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Centered on the theme Integration of Architecture, Property Management and Office Technology, the exhibition gathered over 600 international exhibitors to build an industrial ecosystem covering the entire life cycle of construction. ABA made its appearance at the event with new fireproof building materials, empowering green construction and smart buildings through material innovation and injecting new momentum into the whole life cycle of the construction industry.
I. Focus on Building Fireproof Materials to Respond to Industrial Integration Trends
The wave of green buildings and digitalization is profoundly reshaping the industry landscape. The technological integration of architecture, property management and office scenarios has become a new development trend in the global construction sector. As an active practitioner of this trend, ABA showcased its core products at the exhibition, including smoke control and exhaust air ducts, fire doors, modular partition walls and fire-resistant steel walls, fully demonstrating the innovative achievements of new materials in the field of building fire protection.
At the exhibition site, engineering enterprises, design institutions and developers from Hong Kong, Macao, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and other regions showed strong interest in ABA’s product portfolio. The booth attracted a constant stream of visitors, including technical buyers focusing on passive fire protection systems and project teams seeking prefabricated interior decoration solutions. It fully reflects the wide adaptability of ABA products across diverse application scenarios and proves the company’s accurate insight into market demands.
II. Powered by THE CORAL® Board to Drive the Upgrade of Green and Smart Construction
Taking the independently developed THE CORAL® Board as its core material platform, ABA has built a complete product matrix covering passive fire protection systems and modular component systems for buildings. All exhibited product lines are based on the material properties of THE CORAL® Board, adopting a dry construction mode of factory prefabrication and on-site assembly, which highly aligns with the development philosophy of green buildings and smart construction.
Smoke Control & Exhaust Air DuctMade of THE CORAL® Board as the base material, it features a bulk density of approximately 600kg/m³ and a flexural strength of no less than 18.6MPa. It has passed Class A1 non-combustible material testing, with a fire resistance limit ranging from 0.5 hours to 3 hours. Adopting dry construction with factory prefabrication and on-site assembly, it achieves a gap control accuracy up to 0.2mm with excellent air tightness. The system has been successfully applied in multiple projects such as GAC New Energy Smart Factory, Domestic Transfer Warehouse at South Area of Shenzhen Airport, Three Gorges Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing University, and Shanwei Campus of South China Normal University.
Fire Door SystemWith THE CORAL® Board as the door core material, it features Class A1 non-combustibility, fire resistance limit of 1 to over 2 hours, and free chloride ion content below 0.1%. It resists pulverization and halogen return, reaching ENF formaldehyde-free environmental grade. The product line covers full certifications of Chinese National Standard, US UL Standard and European EN Standard, and has been implemented in projects including Herring Road Student Apartment in Australia, Macao New Town A3 Project, and Hotel Indigo Crossroads in the United States.
Modular Partition WallCentered on lightweight THE CORAL® Board and high-strength THE CORAL® keel system, it delivers a fire resistance limit of 90 to 120 minutes and sound insulation performance of 35–55dB, integrating fire protection and sound insulation in one system. It adopts full dry construction with detachable and rearrangeable features and fast installation speed. The system has been widely applied in numerous projects such as Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong MIC Apartment, Guangzhou Yuexiu Hongqiao Xiaoshiji, Shenzhen Pingshan New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park, and Dongguan Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital.
Fire-resistant Steel WallConstructed with lightweight THE CORAL® Board as the core substrate and covered with galvanized steel sheet on the surface, it achieves a fire resistance rating of 2 to 4 hours. Featuring integrated design and modular assembly, it enables rapid construction and easy installation. More than 95% of its materials are recyclable, combining fire resistance, light weight and environmental friendliness, and can be flexibly cut according to project requirements.
III. Link Global Industrial Ecosystem to Draw a New Blueprint for Construction Technology
Participation in Build4Asia 2026 marks an important step for ABA to integrate into Asia’s industrial network and connect with the global market. Against the backdrop of accelerated integration of manufacturing, construction and operation & maintenance scenarios, ABA will continue to deepen its layout in building passive fire protection systems and modular component systems. It will participate in the global market with more collaborative product solutions, explore new paths for the development of smart buildings together with industry partners, and jointly paint a new blueprint for the future of construction technology.
