| Produced
from high grade cork granules with a synthetic rubber binder (Nitrile,
Neoprene or SBR). This combines the resilience of rubber with the
natural compressibility of cork, producing a material which has high
compressibility and high mechanical strength.
Available in
numerous grades for many different applications, including automotive,
electrical transformers, control gear, switch gear, cable boxes
etc. (Comprehensive data sheets available on request).
Material can
be supplied in rolls, sheets, strips or as cut gaskets to customer
individual requirement.
Available in
thicknesses 0.75mm -12.0mm as standard. A pressure-sensitive adhesive
backing can be supplied on request.
The chemical
resistance of these materials is determined by the grade of the
rubber binder used. Cork is largely unaffected by petroleum derivatives,
but should not be used where strong alkaline or acidic conditions
occur.
As well as a
rubber binder, grades with protein or resin binders (agglomerate
cork) are available. These can also have the addition of a linen
reinforcement if required. |
