It is a porous glass foam material commercialized through a clean recycling process that also solves the difficult problem of precious metal leaching.
◎Porous Glass Foam Material "Porous α" ● This product is manufactured by firing glass bottles discharged from general households at approximately 1000°C in the "Porous α" production plant owned by the Tottori Resource Recycling Research Institute. ● This product is a foam material made up of countless voids with a strong silicate wall, consisting of amorphous lumps. ● This product is porous and has a large specific surface area. The dry bulk density can be adjusted to approximately 0.3 to 1.1. It also excels in permeability and water retention. ● In addition to standard specifications, this product can be enhanced with various functions to create "Porous α" tailored to specific applications. ● Since the raw material is glass bottles, there is no leaching of harmful substances such as heavy metals from this product after installation, eliminating concerns about environmental pollution.
