Final Decking Materials
Amorim Decking Materials are a combination of incomparable functionality and luxurious aesthetics, bound together in a natural cork composite.
IMO/MED Certified
With the development of the breakthrough ACM30 material, our engineers have brought a radical new product to life.
ACM30 is a product certified with the Wheel mark symbol. The IMO/MED Wheel mark & USCG certification applicable to flagged ships and sea-going vessels such as yachts, passenger and cruise ships.

The decking of the future
ACM30 is a cork composite, a material specially formulated to be used as an exterior primary deck covering for leveling and fairing with additional features
Due to the materials composition it significantly benefits weight reduction, being 2 to 5 times lighter than available primary decking’s therefore improving vessel performance and rating and consequently energy savings. It also serves as a structural damping soundproofing and thermal insulation barrier of the deck.

IMO/MED Certified
Certified to IMO resolution MSC.307 (88) - FTP Code 2010 against fire protection requirements, ACM30 is certified in accordance with the MARINE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE 2014/90/EU (MED) and EU-US MRA (MED category A. 1/3.1 & USCG category 164.106, including MCA & Transport of Canada), bearing the MED Wheelmark of conformity.
-
Acoustic insulation
Cork's air filled closed cell structure allows for inherent damping of structural noise transmission such as step noise and impacts throughout the decking surface and consequently increased acoustical performance.
-
Thermal insulation
ACM30 structure has a low thermal conductivity of 0,065 W/mºK throughout a wide temperature range, resulting in energy savings and reduced condensation. This attribute contributes to passenger comfort like no other primary decking material.
-
Lightweight
Due to the materials composition, besides its leveling and fairing function it significantly benefits weight reduction, being 2 to 5 times lighter than conventional primary decking’s having a direct impact on final vessel weight, stability and therefore improved vessel performance and rating.
-
Green construction
The main constituent of ACM30 is cork which is 100% natural, reusable and recyclable, it is a sustainable product that guarantees protection against risks to human health and the environment, complying to current REACH regulation, contributing to energy savings.
-
Versatile
ACM30 is suitable to be bonded using existing industry adhesives and technologies to all metallic deck substrates.
It's produced in sheet format that can be trimmed, sanded and machined with regular tools or equipment to obtain the desired finish or contour of the primary decking, beforehand or after installation therefore decreasing assembly time.
