Research Summary: The Pearl Method (Cremains Granulation)

One-Line Summary

Transforming cremains into waterproof mineral pearls via tabletop pan granulation to ensure structural integrity and premium aesthetics.

Full Summary

The Pearl Method is a proprietary granulation process that solves the "DIY grey slurry" problem inherent in traditional ash-casting. By using Liquid Sodium Silicate (Water Glass) as a binder in a tabletop Pan Granulator, raw bone ash (calcium phosphate) is chemically fused into uniform, BB-sized mineral pearls. These pearls are high-PSI, waterproof, and chemically stable.

Connection to Master Business Plan

• Stream A (Memorial Stones): Directly validates the 72% gross margins by allowing for high ash-to-concrete density without sacrificing strength.
• Product Differentiation: Provides "Aesthetic Dominance" for the luxury memorial market; pearls can be beautifully suspended in clear resin Worry Stones, elevating the brand from a craft project to a high-end memorial service.
