High-Compressible Cork Sheeting
Key Features
- High-
quality material - Excellent fuel & oil resistance
- Highly flexible & durable
- Range of thicknesses available
- Easy to cut to size
- Available in sheets, cut strips & bespoke gaskets
Product Description
Our high-compressible cork sheeting is suitable for use in low to medium bolt pressure applications.
This material features excellent anti-vibration properties for use as a gasketing material or as isolation pads. This particular rubber bonded cork material combines durable mechanical properties with flexibility in a single package. It provides compression rates between 30-50% while under 400psi of pressure. It also quickly recovers by over 80% after the pressure has been released.
We supply this material in 1m x 1m sheets, as standard, in a variety of thicknesses from 1.5mm to 25mm. We can also cut the material into strips or manufacture bespoke gaskets. The material is lightweight and easy to install and handle. It can be cut on site using a utility knife or more heavy-duty cutting tools, depending on the thickness.
Due to the combination of physical properties and excellent oil and fuel resistance, this cork sheeting is a highly versatile material, suited for use in automotive and manufacturing industries.
