80 Years of
Industry Knowledge
Cork is still widely used in many applications as an invaluable, inexpensive sealing material often out-performing many modern alternatives. Gaskets made from Cork for instance, are still used in many Automotive applications – such as sump/oil pan gaskets.
Normally used in contact with oils and greases, Nitrile or Neoprene bonded corks are the most common gasket materials used.

The material has many uses – most commonly in Automotive production it has been used for sump gaskets, and in the tank industry, for manway gaskets on fuel tanks. It’s cellular structure produces a compressible material that has very good recovery properties. The material absorbs vibration and sound, so is often found in acoustic applications or as foot-plates under heavy machinery to reduce vibration transfer.
In fact, today the Wine industry is still one of the biggest users of Cork. Even though plastic stoppers are now widely used, Cork is still the preferred material by many ! see naturalcorkcouncil.org/cork-oak-trees
