Glass foam lightweight material "Super Sol" *Exhibited at the Environmental Exhibition!
For civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water quality 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 application. Utilizing features 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. 【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 Environment 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 regular soil. It allows for the creation of different types of air bubbles, enabling adjustments to performance and weight. 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. Furthermore, it is chemically stable, with no risk of alteration 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, characterized by its porous structure. It is an artificial lightweight aggregate with an irregular particle size ranging from 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 distorted terrains and narrow spaces. Like crushed stone, it can be installed through spreading and compaction without the need for curing time or special techniques. - **Stability:** Being mineral-based and inorganic, it is physically and chemically stable and does not corrode. - **Safety:** Since it is made from naturally derived glass, Super Sol is also composed of soil components, making it a highly safe material for the surrounding environment.
