Advantages
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
- In case of fire it does not place stress on the building structure
- Due to the amorphous glass structure there is no risk of silicosis
It is marketed in a wide range of grain sizes – the basic grain sizes are:
0.040-0.125 mm / 0.1-0.3 mm / 0.25-0.5 mm / 0.5-1 mm / 1-2 mm / 4-8 mm
