The manufacturing of glass foam as insulation was patented as early as 1935. Two years later, in 1937, the founding of the Pittsburgh Corning Corporation by two leading American companies in the glass industry – Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company and Corning Glass Works – followed. FOAMGLAS® is a high-quality thermal insulation material for structural engineering and for technical operating plants. The insulation is manufactured primarily from recycled glass (> 66%) and natural raw materials that occur almost without limit in nature. With the recycling of glass, FOAMGLAS® makes an important ecological contribution.
