Urbanisation is a megatrend, one of the major pathways of development

With it, the importance of quality acoustic environments for human well-being continues to grow. People around the globe are more aware of the impact that acoustics have on their daily lives and expect higher quality acoustic experiences. On the other hand, trends in sustainability, recycling and circular economy require greater focus on minimizing waste and environmental impacts. Amorim’s cork-based solutions for acoustic noise and vibration isolation represent progress in responding to these three megatrends.

 Acousticork Vibration Control materials are engineered compounds of cork, natural and/or recycled rubber. With high loss factors, essential to the damping function - due to cork's closed cell structure filled with air, it dissipates vibration energy into low grade heat in each vibration cycle, resulting in a low amplification at resonance, giving our materials operational effectiveness in a wide range of frequencies.
