GLAPOR Glass Foam Boards / Properties
Foam glass boards are characterized by a variety of desirable properties as in no other insulation to be found. This makes the use of GLAPOR foam glass boards unbeatable in many applications.
| THE TOP FEATURES | |
|---|---|
| COMPRESSION STRENGTH | Millions of glass webs in GLAPOR foam glass provide excellent comprehensive strength. Induced compressive stress is absorbed practically deformation-free. |
| CLOSED CELLED | Closed cells ensure that the GLAPOR foam glass board is completely waterproof. |
| ZERO-CAPILLARY | Capillary action is eliminated due to the closed cells and the use of glass as a "raw material". |
| HEAT-INSULATING | GLAPOR foam glass provides excellent insulation due to the air that is locked into the cells. |
| OTHER DESIRABLE PROPERTIES | |
| WORKABILIY | In particular, the ease of handling, workability and high usability of our large-format GLAPOR foam-glass boards at building sites are real advantages and significantly cut time and costs. Our formats set sector standards. |
| PERMANENT | GLAPOR foam glass boards are non-biodegradable, non-aging and resistant to chemical agents as well as insect and rodent infestation. |
| RECYCLABLE / REUSABLE | GLAPOR foam glass boards are made of 100% recycled glass and can be reused or recycled at any time. |
| INERT | GLAPOR foam glass boards neither absorb substances from, nor emit them into the environment. |
| WATER-TIGHT | GLAPOR foam glass boards are completely impervious to water. |
| FROST RESISTANT | GLAPOR foam glass boards resist frost due to their closed cells. |
| BALLAST | GLAPOR foam glass boards have very good mechanical values and therefore form an excellent ballast base. |
| SIZE/FLEXIBILITY | GLAPOR foam glass boards are available in two different formats so as to easily respond to building-site requirements. They are delivered on a pallet. |
| LIGHT / VERSATILE | GLAPOR foam glass gravel has a bulk density of only 100 / 150 kg / m³, depending on the spefication. This is 1/10 to 1/20 of the weight of gravel. It can be delivered in big bags of different sizes, bulk or via a textile chute. |
| NO-COMBUSTIBLE | GLAPOR foam glass boards are non-combustible. The softening point is over 650°C. GLAPOR is classified as class A1 building material. |
| ODOURLESS | GLAPOR foam glass boards are odorless. |
