Rubber cork. High performance for the manufacture of gaskets

Rubber cork sheets are used in the construction and engineering industry to seal joints and prevent the infiltration of industrial oils, hydrocarbons, air, water and gases. It is a material that is made from granulated natural cork and synthetic rubber, which are mixed and pressed, resulting in a resistant and dense compound.

It is a flexible, waterproof, durable compound that provides thermal insulation, cushioning, resilient — so it recovers easily after being compressed or deformed —, chemically stable (so it is not affected by common chemicals) and recyclable.

Some of its applications are the following:

• Damping: Absorbs impacts, vibrations and noise in buildings, bridges and other structures.
• Joint sealing: of all kinds, in buildings, bridges, roads and other structures. This is possible thanks to its flexibility, impermeability and durability.
• Pipe sealing: To prevent the infiltration of water or gases thanks to its flexibility, impermeability and durability.
• Door and window sealing: To prevent air infiltration thanks to its flexibility and durability.
• Shoe soles: Thanks to their flexibility.
