VERSATILE LIGHTWEIGHT
AGGREGATE MADE FROM
POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED GLASS
Poraver® expanded glass is a versatile lightweight aggregate for high-quality building materials and industrial products. PORAVER® offers a mix of outstanding characteristics which no other product in this spectrum has. Despite its low density, Poraver® is very resistant to pressure. It not only acts as thermal insulation but also absorbs sound, dimensionally stable over the long term, and resistant to fire, moisture and chemicals. Poraver® consists of recycled glass and is 100 % mineral.
In 1983, Poraver® was the first expanded glass granule made of post-consumer recycled glass on the market. The development of the manufacturing method was the basis of the success story which is still going on today. Since then, we have been manufacturing lightweight aggregates at our production sites in Germany and Canada for customers and distributors throughout the world. We are the largest expanded glass granule manufacturer and market leader worldwide.

REDISPERSABLE POWDERS & POLYMER EMULSIONS
We have been employing the power of science and customer intimacy since our humble beginnings and we started our polymer emulsions production in 1965 with this notion.
Besides our Istanbul polymer emulsions plant with 120,000 tpa production capacity, we invested in a new plant with an 80,000 tpa production capacity in Rotterdam in 2007. With our perpetual ambition to grow our business, we increased our production capacity over 30 times in the past 30 years to reach 200,000 tpa. Serving more than 2,000 customers in over 80 countries, Orgal® is the brand that customers know and trust when it comes to polymer emulsions.
Leveraging our expertise in liquid polymer emulsions, Organik Redispersible Powders, ORP®, was established in 2011 with a diverse range of products in powder form to address the needs of the construction chemicals industry. Our redispersible powder polymer plant with 20,000 metric tons of production capacity was built in Tuzla, Istanbul to fulfill this mission.
