Cork gaskets are a proven sealing solution for low-to-medium pressure applications where compressibility, vibration damping, and conformability to irregular surfaces are required. CGIM LLC manufactures custom cork gaskets and cork rubber gaskets from sheet material to match your exact dimensions, tolerances, and application requirements. Whether you need a one-time prototype or a recurring production run, our team is equipped to cut, produce, and deliver cork gaskets that perform as intended.<\/p>\n
Cork gasket material offers a combination of properties that make it well suited for a wide range of industrial sealing applications. When bonded with rubber, cork sheet material becomes more durable and resilient, making it one of the most reliable soft gasket materials available for low-pressure environments.<\/p>\n
| Property<\/th>\n | Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n |
|---|---|
| Compressibility and Recovery<\/td>\n | Cork gaskets compress under bolt load and recover when load is released, creating a reliable seal even on flanges with surface irregularities or uneven bolt loading.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Vibration and Noise Dampening<\/td>\n | The cellular structure of cork naturally absorbs vibration and reduces transmitted noise, making cork gaskets a practical choice for mechanical enclosures, covers, and housings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Oil and Fluid Resistance<\/td>\n | Cork rubber gaskets, particularly those bonded with nitrile or neoprene, offer good resistance to oils, fuels, and common industrial fluids.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Thermal Insulation<\/td>\n | Cork has inherently low thermal conductivity, providing a degree of insulation in applications where heat transfer is a concern.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Conformability<\/td>\n | Cork gaskets conform to irregular or imperfect mating surfaces, reducing the need for high bolt torque to achieve a proper seal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Lightweight<\/td>\n | Cork is one of the lightest gasket materials available, which is an advantage in applications where overall component weight is a factor.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nCork Gasket Sheet Options<\/h2>\nCork gasket sheet material is available in several formulations, each pairing cork granules with a different rubber binder to achieve specific performance characteristics. CGIM LLC works with cork rubber gasket sheet in the grades best suited to the requirements of the application. Common options include:<\/span><\/p>\n |
