Foam glass

After cooling the mixture hardens into a rigid material with gas-filled closed-cell pores comprising a large portion of its volume.

Depending on the properties of the foam glass, it can be used as insulation material in various sectors of construction engineering, as well as in shipbuilding, chemical, cryogenic, and high-temperature technologies.

As a moisture-proof, fireproof, and chemically resistant material foam glass may be used in harsh environments such as in heat insulation and deep cooling in underground and open-air applications such as pipelines and tank foundations.

Expanded glass is mostly used as a insulation material, e.g. in machine room noise reduction and highway sound absorption barrier.

Waste in production – foamed glass powder and scrap can also be used as fillers for decorative light concrete and other applications.

[9] Subsequently, in 1939, the Soviet Union reports experimentally produced foam glass at the intermediate pilot plant of the Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology.

A glass powder screened through a 0.09 mm mesh was mixed with limestone and later on with anthracite and coal as gasifier.

An inorganic non-metallic glass material, it consists of a large number of uniform bubble structures with a diameter of 1 to 2 mm.
