superABSORBER Diagram



This animated diagram conveys the main attributes of the superABSORBER highway wall barrier system. Not only does the wall absorb sound (illustrated in blue), it also absorbs pollution (illustrated in green) with the concrete additive TX Active, as well as absorbing light (illustrated in orange).

TX Active is a titanium dioxide admixture to concrete. When pollution (such as CO2) hits the surface, a photocatalytic reaction occurs, breaking down the pollution into less harmful byproducts.

The superABSORBER, with its sponge-like crevices and openings, increases the surface area of the wall exponentially, allowing more pollution to be absorbed and broken down.
