INTEGRATED ADDED VALUE FOR YOUR APPLICATIONS
WITH PORAVER® EXPANDED GLASS
The many benefits make Poraver® expanded glass a proven raw material for high-quality building materials and industrial products. Poraver® can be used as a lightweight aggregate in dry mortars, tile adhesive and lightweight concrete, as the basis for acoustic and lightweight panels, or as insulating material. We are here to help you!
APPLICATION
FILLS
Poraver® can be used loose, as thermal insulation fill for non pressure load requirements. The granules can also be used cement- or resin-bound as leveling fill for pressure load requirements. The spherical granules are very lightweight and non-combustible. They are completely free of harmful materials, do not settle, can be easily handled and do not offer a breeding ground for pests and mold.

APPLICATION
PLASTER AND DRY MORTAR
Our proven lightweight filler with its many positive characteristics meets the most demanding product requirements. Poraver® is ideally suited for combination with lime, cement and other binders. Its spherical grain shape and low density optimize the formulation as well as the material properties of the final products.

APPLICATION
MINERAL CASTING AND POLYMER CONCRETE
When Poraver® is used, the density of mineral casting components can be reduced by up to 70 percent. Less binder is needed and good mechanical properties are achieved.
