Glass containing countless tiny independent bubbles. Also called multi-bubble glass. With a bulk density (apparent density) of 0.13 to 0.16, it is light, has excellent insulation and durability, is non-flammable and non-breathable, and is easy to process, so it has a wide range of uses in the chemical industry and construction. It is particularly used as a non-flammable insulation material indoors and outdoors, and is also used as a cooling material in food refrigeration and freezer warehouses. Glass powder is mixed with a foaming agent such as calcium carbonate or carbon, placed in a mold, heated to expand, and then cut into products. The higher the bulk density, the higher the mechanical strength, but the lower the insulation.

無数の独立した微小な気泡を含んだガラス。多泡ガラスともいう。かさ比重(見かけの密度)は0.13~0.16と軽く、断熱性、耐久性に優れ、不燃性で通気性がなく、加工性のよいところから、化学工業、建築方面に用途が広い。とくに、屋内外の不燃性断熱材として使われているが、そのほかに保冷材として食品の冷蔵・冷凍倉庫などに使われている。ガラスの粉末に炭酸カルシウムや炭素などの発泡剤を混ぜ、型に入れて加熱して膨大したものを切断して製品とする。かさ比重の大きいものほど機械強度は増すが、断熱性は低下する。 [境野照雄・伊藤節郎] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
