Long-term ageing assessments have revealed that rubber seals often suffer from local fractures, bending and warping, due to lateral flow and thermal expansion. By contrast, Amorim Tech Seal cork composite joints retain their shape and have very low extrusion, preserving the integrity of the seal over time. This durabil…

Amorim Cork Composites is part of various working groups that aim to develop new industrial processes that will ensure the applicability and extensive provision of hydrogen solutions.

How Amorim Tech Seal contributes to a more efficient sealing, while improving the system’s overall sustainability?

To guarantee impermeability to hydrogen, Amorim Cork Composites has tested two cork-based materials: cork&EPDM and cork&NBR. The tests revealed that both seals provide excellent sealing in a 100% hydrogen environment.

Cork’s thermal and chemical resistance and impermeability to liquids and gases make it the ideal raw material to develop sealing solutions. In addition to complying with the different technical specifications of gas systems, cork helps reduce the system's carbon footprint, which is essential in order to attain sustaina…

The range of solutions developed by Amorim Cork Composites focuses on sealing, housing and cell spacers applications, to prevent temperature propagation during thermal runaway episodes.

By choosing cork composite solutions instead of 100% rubber solutions, we not only contribute to a more environmentally friendly system, but also add the specific benefits of cork to the solution - such as natural resilience, flexibility and low lateral extrusion. By opting for Amorim T&D solutions, manufacturers c…

National is a Swedish partner company of Amorim Cork Composites for sealing solutions focused on the automotive industry. As it specialises in heavy machinery, selected Amorim Tech Seal solutions to seal the fuel tank caps of tractors, trucks, and other heavy vehicles. ​ The rubber-applied cork gaskets fully matched th…

Unique blends of cork and select rubbers produce materials indicated for flat sealing applications, that due to reduced side flow, allow for larger contact areas and higher compression ratios which guarantee an effective sealing barrier against potential flange surface imperfections, distortions and leakage paths. Exte…

This and other low-carbon gases r…

The use of cork in the field of electric mobility is one of Amorim Cork Composites' most recent ventures, taking advantage of its know-how in developing high-performance solutions for such demanding sectors as the aerospace industry. Our priority is to offer solutions that protect the key component of electric vehicles…

Its negative carbon footprint, low thermal conductivity and sealing capacity, together with resistance to extreme temperatures and a high damping capacity are characteristics that make cork a raw material with enormous potential for this sector.  From electric mobility to wind and solar energy, Amorim Cork Composites e…

Amorim ETP700 is a combination of cork and silicone, that has been developed to achieve exceptional fire retardant and a low compression coefficient, while helping to reduce the system's environmental impact. These properties make it an ideal solution for sealing electric batteries that require enhanced safety measures…

Exactly. Cork has been used in the Energy sector for a long time, in particular in the T&D Transmission and Distribution area (Power or Distribution Transformers). Cork is used as a sealing element, where unique combinations of cork and selected rubber create materials suitable for flat sealing applications which,…

When Amorim Cork Composites added cork and rubber as the core material applied to sandwich wood panels (CPA - acoustic plywood) this was an innovative solution to reduce noise and vibration in interior floors for trains. The combination of viscoelastic material (such as cork) in a sandwich panel contributes greatly to…
