Glass-foamed lightweight material "Super Sol"
For civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, insulation, etc.! A "soil-reducing" lightweight material made from 96% recycled glass.
"Super Sol" is a lightweight material recycled from glass bottles and other sources. It is an amorphous gravel-like artificial pumice made by crushing and sintering waste glass into particles ranging from 2 to 75 mm in size. Composed of soil components, it is environmentally friendly and allows for control of specific gravity and water absorption rate according to its intended use. Utilizing its features such as lightweight, permeability, water retention, non-combustibility, and thermal insulation, it is widely used in various applications including civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation. 【We are currently offering a catalog of products by application as a gift!】 ■ Lightweight fill material "Super Sol L2" ■ Greening material "Super Sol L1" ■ Agricultural material "Super Sol L1" ■ Purification material "Super Sol L2・L4" ★ We will be exhibiting at the "2023 Global Warming Prevention Exhibition/NEW Environmental Exhibition"!

basic information
**Features of Super Sol** ■ Environmentally Friendly (Soil Restoration) The raw material of Super Sol is a common "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 planting soil, it contributes to creating an environment conducive to the growth of plants. ■ Easy to Work With as a Porous Ultra-Lightweight Material Super Sol is a porous material, weighing only 1/5 to 1/6 of soil. It can be adjusted for performance and weight by varying the types of air bubbles created. Furthermore, by creating numerous voids, it can be made lightweight, making it very easy to handle. It offers high flexibility during installation and does not require special techniques. ■ Non-Flammable (Inorganic Mineral) Being inorganic and mineral-based, it is non-combustible and possesses both fire resistance and thermal insulation properties. Additionally, it is chemically stable and does not undergo alteration or corrosion. *For more details, please download the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.*

"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.
