Natural Compressibility: Cork’s unique cellular structure allows it to compress effectively under pressure, creating a tight seal that prevents leaks and maintains performance.
Good Temperature Resistance: Cork sheet gaskets can typically withstand temperatures ranging from -40°F to +200°F (-40°C to +93°C), making them suitable for various applications.
Chemical Resistance: While not as resistant as synthetic materials, cork offers good resistance to many oils, fuels, and solvents, making it effective in moderate chemical environments.
Lightweight and Flexible: The lightweight nature of cork makes these gaskets easy to handle and install, contributing to quick assembly and maintenance.
Sound and Vibration Dampening: Cork's natural properties help reduce vibrations and noise, making these gaskets ideal for applications requiring sound insulation.
Eco-Friendly Material: Made from renewable resources, cork is an environmentally friendly option that minimizes ecological impact.
