Foam glass is a porous glass foam material. Its benefits as a building material include its lightweight, high strength, and thermal and acoustic insulating properties. The physical characteristics of water absorption and moisture absorption create the advantages of nonthermal insulation, no corrosion, and no leakage, and extend the service life of the whole system.

It is prepared by heating a mixture of crushed or granulated glass and a blowing agent (chemical foaming agent) such as carbon or limestone. Near the melting point of the glass, the blowing agent releases a gas, producing a foaming effect in the glass. After cooling, the mixture hardens into a rigid material with gas-filled closed-cell pores comprising a large portion of its volume.

Foam Glass Market Dynamics and Trends

Protection against fire and longer life and favorable environmental regulations are the driving factors for the growth of the market globally. The control of the heating rate is one of the most important factors in optimizing the foam glass product. The foam glass wall insulation material is one of the new environmental protection Insulation Materials, which has the characteristics of environmental protection, safety, comfort, and economy. It not only continues the long-term use of ordinary glass but also brings us more new functions. Usually, foam glass is used on wall decoration, because it can not only absorb heat but also absorb a lot of noise pollution for us, so it is called green environmental protection new material by many industries. The exterior wall Cellular Glass can be quickly ingested when used because the non-toxicity of the material itself is also very popular.

However, the Huge cost of foam glass is the key restraint hampering the market growth worldwide.

Foam Glass Market Segment and Shares
