Generated from rice husks! Plant-based silica with heat insulation, flame retardant, and water-repellent properties.
Plant-based rice husk silica primary product "First Silica" secondary product "Ethical Silica"
<Biomass Mark Product Certification> Introducing the characteristics and application examples of plant-based rice husk silica that can be produced from agricultural waste "rice husks"! *Materials available.
"Plant-based rice husk silica" has been confirmed to have the properties of "heat insulation," "flame resistance," and "water repellency." (Based on our research) "Plant-based rice husk silica" is a plant-based silica derived from rice husks, which are agricultural waste, allowing for the reuse of waste as a valuable resource. It serves as an industrial raw material that can contribute to environmental issues and other industrial materials. It truly embodies the essence of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, and is expected to play a significant role as a valuable resource in resource-scarce Japan in the future. Additionally, it has been processed into familiar products such as the dried grass material "Karakusa Manzoku" (Patent No. 6797445) made from rice husk silica and natural salt, and the soil hardening material "Bousou Ichiban." A dedicated catalog for plant-based rice husk silica has also been completed and will be sent upon request. 【Features】 - Heat insulation - Flame resistance - Water repellency 【100% Biomass Mark Certification】 The Biomass Mark is an environmental standard that assesses the conformity of biological resources (biomass) with regulations, standards, and specifications related to quality and safety. There are display criteria based on the degree of biomass contained in the product, and M.I.T's rice husk silica has been certified to have a biomass degree of 100%. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.

Applications/Examples of results
【Use Cases】 ■ "Heat-Resistant Paint" made from silica ash - Can enhance heat resistance by preventing external heat from being transmitted indoors. ■ Water-repellent coating of silica material on fiber surfaces - It has been confirmed that the coated areas repel water that has been sprayed. ■ Flame-retardant processing of urethane material using silica - It did not ignite, leaving only traces of flames. ■ Used as fertilizer mixed with fish meal - Effective in preventing rice lodging and promoting photosynthesis. ■ As a blending material - Improves the durability of concrete and is effective for salt damage countermeasures. ■ As a treatment agent for sediment in seabeds and ponds - By adding rice husk ash, organic matter is decomposed, promoting bottom purification and contributing to environmental improvement. ■ "Karakusa Manzoku" - a straw material containing rice husk silica and natural salt (patented). ■ "Bousou Ichiban" - a weed prevention and soil solidification material utilizing rice husk silica. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
