Taedonggang Building-materials Factory
Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The Taedonggang Building-materials Factory makes a big contribution to ensuring modernization of construction in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The streamlined factory has workshops for manufacturing blocks and plastic building materials.

More than 10 kinds of blocks, made in the factory, are used for streets, roads, parks, areas along railroads, promenades, etc.

Various kinds of lightweight steel structures lower steel consumption in construction, while raising bearing power of structures.

The factory also turns out varieties of fashionable building fixtures.

Jang Sung Il, an engineer of the factory, told KCNA:

Up-to-date science and technologies have been applied to manufacturing plastic building materials.

For example, glass fiber-added polypropylene plastic pipe (F-PPR) is one of the world's new inventions.

The pipe is very useful for cold and hot water supply.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shuttering board is easy to process, highly resistant to erosion.

It sharply increases both quality and speed of construction, as plastering is unnecessary when it is applied.

It can be used for 30 to 50 times and renewable.

The factory also mass-produces frames of metal roofs and foamed plastics.

The factory strictly adheres to the credit-first principle in production and service.
