Product Description
Our low compression cork sheeting is a medium density material that we manufacture using a Nitrile rubber binder. This particular material is ideal for use in noise and vibration control applications. It also features excellent oil and fuel resistance for a superior life expectancy in specialised environments. Our low compression rubber bonded cork is highly flexible and durable featuring high recovery and tensile strength properties. 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 to your exact requirements.
The Rubber Company supply low compression cork sheeting for a variety of applications and industries. Our customers commonly use this material as vibration isolation for a range of machinery including: Pumps, Presses, Looms & Motors, Runways, rail & subway isolation pads. It is also suitable for use in building and construction applications such as: acoustic suspension elements & systems for walls, Ceilings, Pipings, etc.
