Porocom

Porocom – short for ‘porous construction material’ – is an environmentally friendly product that reduces noise pollution. It consists of granules of recycled materials (sintered coal ashes, clay, glass shards, eco grid and so forth) heated to about 200°C before being brought into contact with thermosetting powder paint, a residue of the manufacture of coatings. The paint quickly covers the granules, but does not completely harden at this point. The coated granules, a semi-manufactured product, are marketed as Porocom. The end product is made by sintering the granules in a mould, causing them to stick together and achieve maximum hardness.
