Cork: sustainability and technical performance in expansion joints
Amorim Cork Composites' cork-based solutions for expansion joints in concrete structures, combine performance, low maintenance and sustainability, and also complies with the construction industry’s stringent quality standards.
Expansion Joints
Materials specially developed to absorb expansions and the contractions inherent to concrete buildings.
Materials specially developed to absorb expansions and the contractions inherent to concrete buildings.
Continuous deformations caused by different climate conditions and thermal ranges are a challenge to expansion joints. Expandacork provides the performance, durability and mechanical resistance required. The better the thermal insulation, greater is the amount of energy saved... and the lower the impact on the environm…

Amorim Cork Composites produces cork and Matceramics produces ceramics. Although not immediately obvious, there are many more factors which bring them together, than those which set them apart. Finding links between one material and the other is both a challenging and rewarding exercise since discovery takes us down pr…
Cork Yoga Massage Ball
Just like the yoga roller, the cork yoga ball is suitable for massaging tense areas, relieving pain and bringing well-being. Measuring 2.4" in diameter, it fits perfectly in the hand and is the ideal size for applying myofascial release techniques, which help muscle recovery and improve movement of the joints. Cork m…

Amorim Tech Seal's priority are the automotive, heavy duty and gas industries. As a result of continuous investment in R&D, we have developed a very diversified portfolio of sealing solutions for these areas. We work closely with our customers to develop sealing joints adapted to the requirements of each project. O…
Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a key vector of the energy transition, with over one thousand projects announced worldwide for the develo…
In order to be part of this energy transition, Amorim Cork Composites has invested in various innovation and development projects to extend its Amorim Tech Seal portfolio - a range of cork composite materials for sealing – using materials that meet the demanding requirements of this new energy source. Hydrogen is a fue…
Cork solutions for better sealing performance
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…

Step 1: Go4cork products are produced mainly with unused cork from the cork stopper industry. When we think about cork, we almost automatically think about cork stoppers. However, the production of cork stoppers uses only around 30 % of this raw material. It was precisely to give new life to this industry’s unused cork…
Underscreed 2
This type of noise is generated by the vibrations transmitted through the structural elements of the construction and is likely to reach distant points, which may affect the whole building. In this case, we needed to ensure that vibrations generated by the daily traffic of staff and customers, loading and unloading of…

Decoupling Active Part Design
Due to the fact that every manufacturer has a unique design and clamping requirements, that is then replicated through its product range, every design needs to be uniquely evaluated. The importance of adequate decoupling at the clamping points, significantly enhances the effectiveness of the interior vibration pads, pr…
The Collection Expect the unexpected, Alma Gémea.
"Alma Gémea" is more than a love story. It's a relationship that is improbable yet perfect. It is an experience that elevates all the senses - our human senses and all senses present in Nature - towards complementary universes that unite and prosper. So many unique and beautiful connection points lie in the difference…
intro (1)
For this Venice Design exhibition, the lamps were topped off with casted bronze caps that covers the fittings, to accentuate the colors, add weight, and play with the contrast between materials. The warm matte organic softness of the cork juxtaposed with the cold shiny mineral hardness of the bronze.Curcubita will be i…
