Perlcon GIB is a light weight material produced by special process. The material is in the form of glass bubbles. These are closed cell particles with high mechanical strength, very low water absoption & very high fire resistance.

Perlcon GIB being chemically inert has excellent heat & acoustic insulation characteristics & once mixed with cement, very high thermal resistance value can be achieved. GIB is widely used in building construction industry as a light weight aggregate. When combined with Portland cement and water it produces as ultra light weight concrete. GIB is a very unique insulating material.
