Environment & Sustainability

The environment and sustainability are two areas where the BUBLON® -Technology and the BUBLON® spheres produced with it are really outstanding:

Basic material and BUBLON® spheres

• Basic material and the expanded BUBLON® spheres are 100% natural
• Use of inexpensive and virtually inexhaustible raw materials
• Low dust emissions in production and processing
• 100% recycling of the BUBLON® spheres into the eco cycle at the end of the
  product lifespan
• Low water absorption of the BUBLON®  spheres means cost-effective use
  and ideal suitability for further processing to slabs, plasters and moulded parts
  (requires less binders as well as less energy and time for drying)
• The higher mechanical strength of the spheres ensures that they are not
  destroyed during further processing and keep their original insulating
  properties (e.g. in the plaster)
• BUBLON® spheres are used as a natural, non-combustible organic filler,
  as an additive in plastics, paints and varnishes.or as
• an inexpensive, environmentally friendly alternative to conventional microspheres.
   

BUBLON®-Technology

• Optimum utilization of the raw material thanks to customized processing
• Zone-controlled electrical heating of the expansion furnace and energy
  transfer through heat radiation only, therefore
  o 50% energy savings and more
  o no flue gas
  o significantly lower noise levels
  o controlled expansion thanks to defined processing parameters, resulting in lower dust generation
