A light weight formed body used for building materials, heat-insulating materials, furnitures, backing materials and the like, and a method for producing the same. In the light weight formed body and in the manufacturing method thereof, the principal material is a surface-reformed slag of which the reforming involves reforming through the dissolution reaction and the hydration reaction of glass and the reforming through dehydration of the surface-reformed slag above mentioned under heating, and one or more of a polymer dispersion, a reinforcing fiber, a coagulant, a light weight aggregate, a thickener, a dispersing agent, a pigment, a synthetic pulp, a needle- to fiber-shaped calcium silicate hydrate and a hydraulic gypsum are further used together with the above principal material. |
