BACKGROUND The Commission, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), instituted this review on November 1, 2016 (81 F.R. 75848) and determined on February 6, 2017 that it would conduct an expedited review (82 F.R. 12465, March 3, 2017). 1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 1 Views of the Commission Based on the record in this five-year review, we determine under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Tariff Act”), that revocation of the antidumping duty order on gray portland cement and cement clinker (“cement”) from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. I. Background A. Original Determination and Prior Reviews In 1990, over a period of several months, the Commission instituted separate investigations on cement from Japan, Mexico, and Venezuela. On April 29, 1991, the Commission determined that an industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of imports of cement from Japan sold at less than fair value.1 In May 1991, the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) issued an antidumping duty order on cement from Japan.2 In the Commission determination, the Commissioners who made affirmative determinations used the “Southern California” region for their analysis. Two of the three Commissioners who made affirmative determinations cumulated subject imports from Japan with imports from Mexico that were subject to a recent antidumping duty order.3 The United States Court of International Trade (“CIT”) reviewed the determination and remanded the plurality’s decision to use a cumulative analysis.4 On remand, the Commission made an affirmative determination with respect to the Southern California regional industry on a non-cumulated basis, which the CIT affirmed.5 In 2000, the Commission conducted a full five-year review of the order on subject imports from Japan. The review was grouped with reviews on cement from Mexico and Venezuela. The Commission made an affirmative determination with respect to subject imports from Japan.6 It conducted a regional industry analysis, with the pertinent region 1 Gray Portland Cement and Cement Clinker from Japan, Inv.

Informed designers rely on careful selection of materials and attention to mixing and placement details to achieve eye-catching architectural and decorative finishes. Because of its versatility, concrete offers endless design possibilities. A wide variety of decorative looks are achieved by using colored aggregates and pigments, and by varying surface finishes, treatments, and textures. Combining white cement with pigments and colored aggregates expands the number of colors available to discerning customers.

  • Cement Data Sheet
    42 CEMENT (Data in thousand metric tons unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, U.S. portland cement production increased by 2.5% to 86 million tons, and masonry cement production continued to remain steady at 2.4 million tons. Cement was produced at 96 plants in 34 States, and at 2 plants in Puerto Rico. U.S. cement production continued to be limited by closed or idle plants, underutilized capacity at others, production disruptions from plant upgrades, and relatively inexpensive imports. In 2019, sales of cement increased slightly and were valued at $12.5 billion. Most cement sales were to make concrete, worth at least $65 billion. In 2019, it was estimated that 70% to 75% of sales were to ready-mixed concrete producers, 10% to concrete product manufactures, 8% to 10% to contractors, and 5% to 12% to other customer types. Texas, California, Missouri, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were, in descending order of production, the seven leading cement-producing States and accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. production.

  • Japan Monthly Highlights Product Manager MONTHLY
    31 August 2015 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Product Marketing Japan Monthly Highlights Product Manager MONTHLY Daisuke Takato 813 4550 9671 [email protected] August 2015 ■ August saw a rout in global equities triggered by concerns over China's economic stability. This came on the back of a prolonged commodities slump, an emerging markets slowdown, and increased currency fluctuations. It is precisely in times of volatility that investment opportunities are created, we highlight stocks that look to have been oversold despite solid fundamentals and that we think investors should hold. Examples include Lion (4912), Shinsei (8303), Nomura Real Estate (3231), Japan Airlines (9201), Fuji Heavy (7270), DaikyoNishikawa (4246), and Murata (6981). ■ The construction sector is poised for long-term growth, owing to the repatriation of Japanese manufacturing capacity amid a weaker yen, the rising need to renovate old buildings, and a slate of large infrastructure projects including the 2020 Summer Olympics. Construction order prices could also rise given the dearth of skilled workers. These factors should lift share prices for construction, cement and steel, writes analyst Masahiro Mochizuki in a Connection Series report with materials analyst Jun Yamaguchi and Shinya Yamada. We upgraded our stances on the construction and cement sectors from Market Weight to OVERWEIGHT and maintained our OVERWEIGHT on the steel sector. We added Shimizu (1803) and Taiheiyo Cement (5233) to the Japan Focus List. ■ Hideyuki Maekawa says semiconductor capacity utilization is at the lowest levels in the post-Lehman era, as additional production cutbacks have been made in August across all applications and process nodes.

  • Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology (9) － Low-Activation Concrete Based on Limestone Aggregates and White Cement－
    Transactions, SMiRT 19, Toronto, August 2007 Paper # HW1/4 Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology (9) － Low-Activation Concrete Based on Limestone Aggregates and White Cement－ Masaharu Kinno1), Norichika Katayose1), Ken-ichi Kimura1), Hirokazu Nishida1), Yusuke Fujikura1), Takao Tanosaki2), Masaki Takimoto2) and Akira Hasegawa3) 1) Technology Development Division, Fujita Corporation, Atsugi, Japan 2) Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, Tokyo, Japan 3) Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan ABSTRACT Manufacturing tests regarding the 1/30-low-activation concrete for a nuclear power plant were performed. Here, “1/30-low-activation” concrete denotes that the activity reduction rate to the ordinary concrete is designed to be 1/30. The detailed data regarding the concentrations of Co and Eu in limestone, white cement, silica fume, and limestone powder were obtained. The low-heat type of 1/30-low-activation concrete was developed by admixing with the low-activation limestone powder, and the low-heat type of 1/50-low-activation concrete was developed by admixing with the low-activation silica fume and/or the low-activation limestone powder. By admixing with the B4C of which concentration is from 1 to 2.5 w%, the total residual radioactivity reduction ratio of the above low-activation concrete to the ordinary concrete, in ΣDi/Ci unit, is estimated to be from 1/100 to 1/1,500. INTRODUCTION Concrete－widely used in a nuclear plant as a neutron shield because of its excellent shielding properties and low cost－includes a large quantity of residual radionuclide induced by neutron irradiation, and this concrete still remains to an enormous degree as radioactive waste after decommissioning.
