Applications

Endless Opportunities for Innovation 

SiONEER is pleased to offer a wide selection of products for a variety of industries and applications. As our methodology grows and our technology continues to advance, the potential for new and innovative uses for recycled glass products is limitless. While we are currently providing beach sand replenishment, blasting abrasives, cullet, filtration media, glass pozzolan, and organic pesticide, within the coming year we will be releasing 10 new and exciting applications.

Application Spotlight: Glass Pozzolan

Glass pozzolan is a clean, non-toxic replacement to fly ash — a byproduct of coal burning plants containing carbon, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Glass pozzolan in contrast is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material, helping to not only decrease GHG emissions, but due to the chemical composition of the glass powder – amorphous silica – mitigates the risk of Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) while increasing the overall compressive strength of concrete.

Agriculture

Due to its non-toxic and environmentally friendly nature, glass powder can safely be used as an organic pesticide, or as a diatomaceous earth replacement. From large-scale farming to home grown vegetables, herbs, and flowers, easily manage insect control without the harsh chemicals otherwise found in harmful pesticides.

Beach Replenishment

Beaches all around the world are disappearing, and sand is quickly becoming a well sought after resource. Replenishing the dissipating shorelines with recycled glass powder is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to dredging; which can be cost intensive and dangerous to the oceans and beach ecosystems.

Blasting Abrasives

SiONEER's abrasives are virtually 100% free of crystalline silica, and contain no heavy metals, making it the ideal sandblasting substitute. Avoid hazardous traditional abrasives like coal slag, silica sand, and staurolite – all of which contain toxic ingredients. Safe for use on ships, bridges, concrete, and nearly any other blasting surface.

Construction

SiONEER Centurion is a clean fly ash replacement that is completely resistant to chlorine, water, and freeze-thaw cycle. 20-40% less cement is needed in your mixture, and research on our pozzolan alternative has shown it will not only increase compressive strength and create more durable concrete, but its use also mitigates ASR (Alkali-Silica Reaction).

Roads and Surfaces

Crushed glass has been found to work as an excellent aggregate in asphalt pavement. It has already been implemented in multiple states across the country due to its resilient nature. Applications stretch beyond asphalt to bridges, parking lots, cement sidewalks, street repair, and all road work use.

Industrial and Manufacturing

Glass powder can be used as a green alternative for fine grind minerals and fillers in virtually any industrial and manufacturing application. Whether you are producing plastics, rubber, or even paint, recycled glass powder is the optimum filler.

Water

Recycled glass sand is the ideal medium for water filtration media, and with its many added benefits can be used as a direct replacement for silica sand and gravel. From residential and commercial swimming pools to industrial and environmental water facilities, Sioneer glass products come in a variety of sizes to fit all applications, providing the ultimate water treatment solution.
