Cork Rubber Gasket

Cork Rubber Gasket & Sheet
An excellent gasket material, cork rubber can be supplied as a blend of Cork and Neoprene, Cork and Buna-N, Cork and Hypalon, and Cork and Silicone. The selection of the best blend of cork and rubber and the correct density will ensure that the finished gasket or part will last for years in your application.

Cork Rubber is a product with unique characteristics and applications in a wide range of industries, notably automotive, electrical equipment, gas, construction, surfacing, industrial equipment, transport and railway industries.

Cork Rubber combines the compressibility and recovery characteristics of cork with the flexibility and shelf life of rubber, making it an excellent product for sealing applications. The materials are manufactured with various binders in a banbury process. Nitrile and neoprene are common binders used, but special synthetic rubbers like, Silicone can further enhance material performance.

Cork Rubber Advantages:

	Wide range of fluid compatibility (high chemical resistance over long periods)
	Compressible with negligible lateral flow (low Poisson's ratio by comparison to solid elastomers)
	Reduces levels of transmitted vibration (acoustic insulation)
	Excellent conformity with surfaces to be sealed
	High resistance to compressive loads over long periods
	Anti-slip and impact-resistant (shock absorber)
