Visual materials
Interior components for vehicles where cork is used as a visual solution. MobilityWith an attractive look and a warm and soft touch, cork is an innovative option for interior vehicle components that combine the beauty of a natural material with passenger comfort and well-being.
Cork can take on many different shapes, from the simplest to the most complex, to meet the manufacturers' design requirements and create sophisticated and elegant interiors, using, for example, moulding, lamination, extrusion and injection processes.
Lightweight, durable and with a high thermal insulation and anti-vibration capacity, cork offers the technical performance demanded by the market. Furthermore, as it is a natural and sustainable raw material, it also responds to the environmental concerns of the industry and consumers.

Visual cork materials
Cork is a natural and sustainable option for the various elements that make up the vehicle's interior, such as door linings, the interior console or the dashboard.
In addition to their sophisticated look and the comfort they provide, our materials are able to respond to the wear and tear caused by everyday use. Thanks to a coating, cork resists water, stains and UV rays.
Even when it is not visible, cork contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of the car production industry and to the decarbonisation of the mobility sector.

Polymeric cork compounds
Cork can be combined with different thermoplastic materials, partially replacing plastic and creating more sustainable end products.
These materials can be processed using different production techniques - such as extrusion, injection moulding, thermoforming, blow moulding or continuous press - creating components that are fully adapted to the customer's technical requirements.
Polymer cork composites (CPCs) can also be visually adjusted to match the aesthetic needs of the final project.
Case studies
Amorim cork used inside the MINI Strip
Integrated in the dashboard, sun visors and doors, cork is a natural raw material that provides the German brand's car with comfort, water resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, and anti-vibration.
