SCG officially launched SCG Smartboard Ultra in the Vietnamese market to offer an environmentally friendly construction solution. This premium product line has achieved the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification, an Environmental Label Type III that is equivalent to ISO 14025 certification for meeting sustainability criteria throughout its production process. With the new formula, SCG Smartboard Ultra not only provides high durability and flexibility in application but also helps minimize CO2 emissions throughout the product's life cycle. This is a strategic move by the group to green the building materials industry through the production and distribution of sustainable green products, aligned with a strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy and a commitment to promoting Inclusive Green Growth.
SCG Smartboard Ultra reflects SCG's vision of providing green building solutions for Vietnamese people. Specifically, the emission level of SCG Smartboard Ultra throughout the entire production process is approximately 0.374kg of CO2/kg, lower than other products in the same industry, from raw material processing to material transportation to the factory and the finished product stage. The product's environmental impact is also meticulously assessed using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, achieving ISO certifications. Based on these assessment results, SCG Smartboard Ultra fiber cement board has been granted the international EPD certificate for environmentally friendly products.
In addition, SCG also applies advanced technology to improve product quality, offering an optimal solution with three outstanding advantages: 20% higher durability - Superior mold resistance - And environmentally friendly. Specifically, SCG Smartboard Ultra not only inherits the Group's exclusive Firm & Flex technology but has also been improved to increase durability by 20% compared to previous product lines. The components, including Portland cement, cellulose fibers, and super-fine sand, are evenly mixed in a specific ratio and produced on a modern production line. With this formula, SCG Smartboard Ultra is not only strong but also more flexible during construction, optimizing efficiency for ceiling, wall, and floor applications.
Notably, SCG Smartboard Ultra has a load-bearing capacity of up to 500kg/m², suitable for use in both residential and industrial construction projects. With this characteristic, the product is a top choice for homeowners and contractors for construction projects requiring high stability and safety.
In Vietnam, the tropical monsoon climate with hot, humid, and rainy characteristics creates favorable conditions for the growth of mold. This is a major reason why many buildings quickly degrade after mold easily penetrates building materials. Therefore, effective anti-mold solutions are always a priority in the Vietnamese market. Integrating Anti-Mold technology, SCG Smartboard Ultra can prevent the growth of common mold species such as Aureobasidium pullulans, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium citrinum.
The product's mold resistance has been laboratory tested. The results show that SCG Smartboard Ultra meets the ASTM D3273-16 standard, demonstrating effective mold resistance for 4 weeks, helping buildings last over time and ensuring the health of users.
SCG Smartboard Ultra not only meets the demand for greening construction projects but also affirms SCG's pioneering role and a strategic step of the group, in line to green the construction materials industry through the production and distribution of sustainable green products, while creating a sustainable and comprehensive development future for the community.
