Cork gaskets
Cork gaskets provide excellent sealing, resistance to oils, as well as effectively dampen noise and vibrations, which is why they are used in various industries, including automotive, construction, and gardening. They are used for sealing covers, tanks, or housings of lighting elements, where high pressure or temperature is not present.
At Power Rubber, we offer custom cutting of cork gaskets, ensuring precise fitting to technical requirements and durability in industrial conditions.
What are cork gaskets and what are they used for?
Cork gaskets are technical sealing elements that ensure tightness between two components. Cork is an impermeable, resistant material known for its high resistance to oils, solvents, and fuels. It allows for sealing surfaces and prevents damage. The material has the ability to absorb vibrations and impacts. It is resistant to high loads, ensuring long-lasting and durable sealing.
What are the benefits and properties of cork gaskets?
Cork gaskets are used in many automotive and sealing applications. They are characterized by high flexibility, allowing them to maintain their original shape under pressure or stretching. This makes them perfect for creating airtight seals in engines across various industries. Their ability to resist deformation under pressure, high compressibility, and elasticity enable them to create tight seals on uneven or diverse surfaces. Additionally, cork gaskets have hydrophobic properties, are lightweight, and resilient. Due to their structure, they are essentially impermeable to liquids and gases. Cork is an extremely durable material, resistant to wear and impact, retaining its sealing properties even after prolonged use. Moreover, it is an excellent insulating material, providing protection against noise and vibrations, which is beneficial in various industries such as railways, construction, and industrial applications. It is also useful for acoustic and anti-vibration applications.
Where can I buy cork gaskets?
Professional cork gaskets are best purchased directly from the manufacturer or a supplier specializing in technical materials, such as POWER Rubber. The company offers cork and rubber-cork gaskets made from high-quality raw materials, designed for use in industry, automotive, construction, and machinery production.
At POWER Rubber, both pre-made cork gaskets and custom-cut elements according to the client's technical documentation are available. Thanks to precision CNC cutting, it is possible to achieve a perfect fit to the required shape and material thickness. The products offered feature resistance to oils, fuels, water, and vibrations, ensuring their durability and sealing in industrial conditions.
