Rubber cork gasket material sheets are manufactured on the basis of cork granules and various types of rubber compounds NBR, SBR, EPDM, EVA, Neoprene, ACM, silicone, epichlorohydrin or polyurethane. The material obtained is extremely flexible, durable and resistant to grease, oils, fuels, gases and many other chemicals.
Sheets of cork rubber are dedicated to all applications where low or medium pressure is applied. Depending on requirements, the compounds are modified to obtain a product with optimum technical parameters and strength for a particular application.
The material of rubber cork sheets is produced in a multistage process of combining natural cork aggregate with an appropriate blend. Using special moulds blocks are obtained, from which mats of different sizes and thickness from 1 to 10 mm are subsequently produced.
Depending on the purpose they may have the following parameters:
- density:450-1250 kg / m3
- hardness:30-90 Shore
- compression: 8-60 % (at 400 psi)
- tensile strength: 0,5-3,5 MPa
- operating temperature: -60 – 175 °C
