We started by studying the new base material in its possible variations, density, granule size and shape, binder ratio, rigidity, among others. After this first stage, we aimed to obtain from the cork its best known characteristics, studying incorporation of different cork densities, granule sizes and shapes. Finally we optimized the cork ratio in order to deliver an optimal final product. At the end - when comparing the results from the final recycled polyurethane formula (without cork) and the final product (with cork), with the correct percentage, type, size and density of cork - we were able to triple its load capacity!

By mixing cork with recycled soft materials, Amorim Cork Composites is not just complying with the company’s highly sustainable policies, we are also maximising performance, by achieving the lowest dynamic stiffness without undermining the underscreed’s load capacity, thereby guaranteeing the lowest possible creep and highest possible recovery.

Amorim Cork Composites aims to implement its global strategy locally. To this effect, we attend specific events and/or conferences, such as the Middle East Acoustic Society meetings, based on our material development capacities. We are also developing partnerships, based on uniqueness and trust, that will allow us to collect the necessary inputs from the market and applications needs and/or trends to develop new cork materials, and adapt our product portfolio and certifications.

We aim to highlight our capabilities, and thereby allow our current and future partners and the market in general to get to know us, and help us expand boundaries even further, through discovery of new cork applications and new ways to explore cork’s characteristics, and above all to contribute to a better world!
