Poraver
Porous glass granule is used primarily in the construction material industry and architecture. These amount to almost 90% of the various fields of application.
Recently it has become more widely used in other fields as well, as it has many advantages.
- Resistance to UV radiation and microbes
- Long service life
- Low density coupled with excellent compressive strength
- Excellent and easier processablity
- Excellent resistance to chemicals
- The light-coloured grains allow use in light-coloured plasters
- Low water absorbance
- Good sound and heat insulation properties – noise protection
- Environmentally friendly, odourless, non-allergizing
- Each grain has a regular sphere shape, with no broken grains
- Good heat insulation
- Good noise absorption properties
- Inorganic
- Non-combustible – meeting the requirements for the highest fire protection classification A1 / DIN 4102
- Solvent free, with neutral odour
- Chemically stable
- Due to the amorphous glass structure there is no risk of silicosis
It is marketed in a wide range of grain sizes:
Fields of application:
Lightweight concrete (structure) - PORAFORM
The glass granule is suitable for the production of all types of concrete. Four categories are differentiated:
- Amorphous structure lightweight concrete
- Porous soft concrete
- Self-densifying soft concrete
- Self-levelling soft concrete

Facade decorative elements, such as
e.g. decorative sculptures, ornamental decorative elements
Indoor decorative and architectural elements, such as
e.g. decorative sculptures, ornamental decorative elements, plaster stuccos, lightweight concrete stairs, attic partition walls, filling material – floor heating, tubings.
Lightweight plaster
The advantages of lightweight plaster:
- User-friendly
- Quick drying
- Thick layers can be applied
- Better heat insulation
- Low thermal conductivity
Ultra lightweight plaster
Fireproofing plaster
Cellar renovating plaster
no mould growth
Floor mass renovating concrete
 Sound insulating – acoustic boards
Noise stops in the porous part of the grains. Noise is reduced by converting the energy of the sound into heat on the surface of the grains. Both organic (epoxy resin) and inorganic (e.g. waterglass) binders can be used.
Heat insulation
It can be used with a binder (cement, glass, clay, etc.) as a load bearing levelling fill, or as insulating concrete for pavement construction.
Tile adhesive
It is easy to apply, even in thick layers to vertical surfaces without falling off.
 Optically very decorative coloured beads
Application: as a coloured structural element in wallpapers, or dispersion paints applied to walls.
 Aggregate mixed with various organic materials
- Polymer concrete
- Synthetic resin binders: e.g. epoxy resin, polyurethane, or acrylate for e.g.
- kitchen worktops
- ship hulls
- wind wheel blades
- marble stair bases
