PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a greening material maintaining a predetermined strength even when saturated with water, having high water retention, and being obtained by a low-cost and simple process.SOLUTION: A greening material is made up of a carbonized material of 50-90 mass%, a vegetable cellulose fiber material of 5-40 mass%, and an adhesive of 0.5-5 mass% as solid contents. A method of producing the greening material includes: a step of making a slurry material by adding water to the vegetable cellulose fiber material and crushing them a step of forming a mixture by adding the carbonized material and the adhesive to the slurry material and mixing them a step of filling a mold with the mixture and a step of drying the mixture filling the mold.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】低コストかつ簡易な工程で、水飽和時にも一定の強度を保つ保水性の高い緑化資材を提供する。【解決手段】固形分量として50~90質量%の炭化物と、5~40質量%の植物性セルロース繊維材料と、0.5~5質量%の接着剤とを含んだ緑化資材の構成とし、製造に際しては、植物性セルロース繊維材料に水を加えて粉砕し、スラリー状物にする工程と、スラリー状物に炭化物および接着剤を加えて混合し、混合物を形成する工程と、混合物を型に充填する工程と、型に充填した混合物を乾燥する工程とを含む。【選択図】図1
