Cork Sheet & Cork/Rubber Composites
Cork
Cork is a versatile natural sealing material prized for its excellent compressibility, vibration dampening, and thermal insulation properties. We stock pure cork sheet and cork/rubber composite grades. From general-purpose natural cork through to nitrile- and neoprene-bonded composites that add oil and solvent resistance for demanding automotive and industrial applications.

Available Grades
FH (Fine-Grain Natural Cork)
Fine-grain natural cork sheet offering traditional compressibility and resilience. Suited to low-pressure sealing, thermal insulation, and vibration dampening where oil resistance is not required.
TG70 (General-Purpose Cork/Rubber)
General-purpose cork/rubber composite providing a balance of compressibility and mechanical strength. A cost-effective option for light-duty gaskets and sealing applications.
MR31 (Neoprene-Bonded Cork)
Cork bonded with neoprene rubber for improved resilience, moderate oil resistance, and broader chemical compatibility. Our most popular grade for general industrial gaskets and expansion joints.
ACN60 (Nitrile-Bonded Cork)
Cork bonded with nitrile rubber for excellent oil, fuel, and solvent resistance. Widely specified for sump gaskets, rocker covers, and automotive sealing applications where hydrocarbon exposure is expected.
NP50 (Nitrile-Bonded Premium Cork)
Premium-grade nitrile-bonded cork composite offering superior oil resistance and tighter thickness tolerances. Specified for demanding automotive and industrial applications where consistent sealing performance is critical.
SCC120 (Speciality Cork Composite)
Speciality cork/rubber composite engineered for higher-performance sealing duties. Provides enhanced mechanical properties and improved resistance in challenging service conditions.
TD1120 (Heavy-Duty Cork Composite)
Heavy-duty cork/rubber composite for applications requiring increased load-bearing capacity and long-term resilience under sustained compression.
ATW1 (Cork Composite)
Versatile cork composite grade suited to a range of general industrial sealing and cushioning applications. Provides reliable compressibility and recovery characteristics.
