Abstract
Abstract The blown granular glass consists of fragments of a blown glass element and comprises at least 100,000, preferably 1,000,000, per cm 3 of bubbles approximately of the same size. It is obtained by grinding the race material into a flour; the flour is mixed into a hot gas by a blowing means; the mixture is blown into a flat base furnace in an amount of blown glass; this amount is cooled after blowing and directly after cooling it is crushed into a granulated material.
