Exhibition of examples of glass foam lightweight materials! Announcement of technical training sessions/events.
【Exhibiting at the 2024 NEW Environment Exhibition/EE Tohoku '24】 Usable for various purposes such as civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation, tailored to specific objectives.
"Super Sol" is a lightweight material recycled from glass bottles and other sources. It is an artificial pumice made by crushing and sintering waste glass into irregular granules with a particle size of 2 to 75 mm. Utilizing its characteristics such as lightweight, permeability, water retention, non-combustibility, and thermal insulation, it is used in a wide range of applications including civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation. In particular, the "Glass Foam Recycled Material - Super Sol" as a civil engineering material has a unit weight of about 4 kN/m3, which is approximately one-fifth that of conventional fill materials, making it very lightweight. When this lightweight fill material is used on soft ground, it allows for the construction of embankments without the need for foundation improvement, which can be economically advantageous.

basic information
**Features of Super Sol** ■ Eco-friendly and Soil Restorative The raw material of Super Sol is the commonly used "soda-lime glass," with its main component being "silicon," which is abundantly found in Japanese soil. The remaining components are sodium and calcium, which are also used in everyday household products. Additionally, it is fired at a high temperature of about 900 degrees, making it a safe and reliable recycled material in a sterile state. ■ Permeability and Water Retention It helps control the permeability and water retention of the ground. Even during compaction, it excels in drainage. When used as drainage material or in planting soil, it contributes to creating an environment conducive to the growth of plants. ■ Easy to Work With as a Lightweight, Porous Material Super Sol is a porous material, weighing only 1/5 to 1/6 of soil. It allows for the differentiation of bubble types, enabling adjustments in performance and weight. By creating numerous voids, it can be made lighter, making it very easy to handle. It offers high flexibility during installation and does not require special techniques. ■ Non-combustible (Inorganic Mineral) Being inorganic and non-combustible, it also possesses fire resistance and thermal insulation properties. Furthermore, it is chemically stable and does not undergo deterioration or corrosion. *For more details, please download the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.*

Company information
"Super Sol," made by crushing and sintering waste glass, is a lightweight material with countless holes, forming a porous structure. It is an artificial lightweight stone with an irregular shape and a particle size of 2 to 75 mm. There are products with varying specific gravities and water absorption rates to suit different applications. Composed of soil components, it is an eco-friendly product with an eco-mark. **Features of Super Sol:** - **Lightweight:** It is 1/6 to 1/5 the weight of soil, with a proven track record as a lightweight fill material. By combining it with crushed stone, the unit weight can be controlled between 4 kN/m³ and 11 kN/m³. - **Drainage:** It can be used as a drainage material in civil engineering and greening projects. - **Aeration and Water Retention:** It can be used as an inorganic soil amendment for greening. - **Workability:** Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle, facilitating construction in uneven terrains and confined spaces. Like crushed stone, it can be installed through leveling and compaction without the need for curing periods or special techniques. - **Stability:** Being mineral-based and inorganic, it is physically and chemically stable, with no corrosion. - **Safety:** As it is made from naturally derived glass, Super Sol is composed of soil components, making it a highly safe material for the surrounding environment.
