A gasket material's degradation resistance to the fluid or fluids being sealed.

Accoseal® products have extensive characterization against automotive application mediums such as fuel, lubricants and coolants. Dedicated grades are UL listed such as NC710, NC711 and NC711G under the UL157 category for fuel. Especially our Epichlorihydrin grade NC711G has been extensively tested in biodiesel and bioe…

• suberin (45%) - main component of the cell walls, responsible for the elasticity of the cork;• lignin (27%) - insulating compound;• polysaccharides (12%) - components of the cell walls that help define the texture of the cork;• tannins (6%) - polyphenolic compounds responsible for the colour;• seroids (5%) - hydropho…

100% free of chemical contamination, in accordance with REACH

No chemical contamination, 100% free according to REACH

The 1,268 solid blocks used in the house were obtained from heating and compressing cork granules, without the use of additives or any chemicals. These blocks were subsequently subjected to a 3D milling process, to fit together, eliminating the need to use glues or cement during construction. The fitting system and lig…

All materials used in the production process of Amorim Cork Composites’ infills are 100% free from any chemical contamination, in accordance with REACH regulations, and do not show any traces of potentially harmful substances.

Amorim Cork Composites develops specific compound formulations for acoustic insulation and vibration isolation which offer highly insulating or dampening materials in compliance with a wide range of environmental conditions and chemical resistance levels.

The application of chemicals to animal hides in preparation for the tanning process.

What is the source of the chemical materials and elements used in plastic- and rubber-based infills? Despite the strict rules on raw materials that can be used to produce synthetic infills, concerns remain regarding the potential use of poorer-quality materials or materials from an unknown source. This is not the case…

A gasket material suitability is defined by a variety of application factors shown in adjacent diagram. The common perception that the temperature and chemical resistance must be assured are only part of the equation. Amorim Cork Composites systems approach ensures joint integrity by considering the multiple variables…

Equipment manufacturers and end users expect sealing systems to operate leak free and to maintain a long service life. TechSeal sealing materials are a bespoke approach to sealing systems having in mind that gasket reliability is defined by a variety of application factors like temperature and chemical resistance, flan…

For specific hardware designs we also provide the possibility of 3D cork rubber gasket materials developed and used for injection and transfer molding. These innovative materials have been used in heavy duty applications for heat resistance and chemical compatibility depending on the environment, whilst maintaining the…

While cork has a higher loss factor than rubber – which is essential to the dampening function and consequent dissipation of energy – anti-vibration rubbers are isolative and offer very little damping. The combination of these two materials as a cork rubber composite brings added characteristics as a vibration isolatio…

Nothing is wasted from the cork oak, all its components have a useful ecological or economic purpose:• The acorn, which is the fruit of the cork oak, is used to propagate the species, as animal fodder and in the manufacture of cooking oils;• The leaves are used as fodder and a natural fertiliser;• The material from tre…

The studies undertaken[1] thus far indicate that the use of turf with artificial infills, specifically SBR rubber, entails no health hazards. However, players and the community are often concerned about the risk of oral intake, inhalation or skin contact with potentially hazardous elements contained in rubber particles…

Discover a specific compound formulations for acoustic insulation and vibration isolation which offer highly insulating or dampening materials in compliance with a wide range of environmental conditions and chemical resistance levels. See below the possible applications of Acousticork materials. Cork absorbs energy due…

The non-living, central wood of a tree. Heartwood is stronger, more resistant to decay, and less easily penetrated by wood-preservative chemicals than sapwood.

The items of the METAMORPHOSIS exhibition, developed by a group of naturally talented persons, open up a new range of products and applications. The invited professionals joined their technical vision with artistic sensibility and the knowledge they have of the market, creating solutions where cork intersects with vari…

There are specific materials that can and cannot be used in museums. The conservation protocol is the key to the preservation of a collection. Generally speaking, it is not allowed to use products, glues, or paints, for example, that may release chemicals as they may damage the exhibition materials. The raw material su…
