Cork gasket sheets
Cork gasket sheets are sealing materials made from a blend of cork particles and rubber or synthetic binders. These sheets are highly flexible, compressible, and offer good sealing properties, making them suitable for various industrial and automotive applications. Cork gaskets are ideal for sealing joints and preventing leaks in systems where moderate pressure, temperature, and vibration are present. Below are short descriptions of common types of cork gasket sheets:
- Standard Cork Gasket Sheet: A basic cork sheet composed of natural cork granules mixed with rubber binders. It offers good flexibility and sealing properties for general industrial use, including in pumps, valves, and machinery.
- Cork Rubber Gasket Sheet: A blend of cork and rubber, this sheet provides improved resistance to oils, fuels, and solvents. It is commonly used in automotive, engine, and fluid-handling applications, where resistance to chemicals is needed.
- High-Temperature Cork Gasket Sheet: Designed to withstand higher temperatures (up to 350°F or more), these sheets are suitable for sealing applications in engines, exhaust systems, and other high-heat environments.
- Oil-Resistant Cork Gasket Sheet: Formulated with specific rubber compounds, this cork sheet provides enhanced resistance to oils, grease, and lubricants, making it ideal for sealing applications in automotive, machinery, and hydraulic systems.
- Premium Cork Gasket Sheet: Made from high-quality, finely ground cork particles and a superior rubber binder, this sheet offers exceptional compressibility, durability, and sealing performance for critical applications in high-pressure and high-vibration environments.
- Water-Resistant Cork Gasket Sheet: Designed for sealing water-based systems, these cork sheets offer good resistance to water and moisture, commonly used in plumbing, water pumps, and heating systems.
- Flexible Cork Gasket Sheet: Known for its high compressibility, this type of sheet easily conforms to uneven or irregular surfaces, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal, and is often used in flange joints and automotive applications.
- Reinforced Cork Gasket Sheet: Cork sheets reinforced with synthetic fibers or mesh for increased strength and durability, ideal for heavy-duty applications like industrial machinery, compressors, and pumps under higher stress conditions.
