Cellular glass blocks and plates for facing

The product key characteristics are the following:

The product differences from analogues

The facing plates made from polymer or ceramic are the nearest analogue of the proposed product.

The proposed production has the following differences from the known facing plates:

• Everlasting color produced by inorganic pigments in contrast with polymer plates
• Low weight in contrast with ceramic and concrete plates
• Fireproof
• Material accurately specified size directly in the furnace manufacture is possible that eliminates the sawing of finished products and leads for the smooth face surface
• Increased strength of the material allows its using as self-supporting
• The resulted product manufacture of exactly sizes and of relief and bulk share without additional machining
• Possibility of special colored or high strength thin glass-type layers upon the face surface

The proposed technology differences of from analogues

• Various types of raw materials such as glass cullet (including off-grade) and natural silicate (diatomite, tripoli, flask, zeolites) are possible
• The metal forms absence during heat treatment significantly reduces the energy intensity and excludes the defect product
• Available and maintainable equipment is applied
• High cost and hard-to-reach components are absence in raw materials, waste glass reusing
• The relatively low cost of the products obtained in the range from 3 up to 20 €/m² (it depends on raw materials type, manufacture productivity, cost of pigments and type of products)
• The author's experience in installation and starting the manufacture of similar materials in combination with one of the highest h-index among the experts in this field
