Rubber cork is a type of material made of cork, which is mixed with rubber. It is a composite with elastic properties, moisture resistance and high mechanical strength. Rubber cork is used in various fields, such as the automotive industry, construction, production of washers, gaskets, as well as in the production of footwear. By combining rubber and cork, rubber cork combines the features of both of these materials: flexibility, abrasion resistance and thermal and acoustic insulation.
Rubber cork, thanks to its unique properties, is used in various fields. Here are some of the most common applications:
Rubber cork is valued for its versatility, flexibility, durability and ability to absorb vibrations and noise.
Rubber cork is resistant to moisture. By combining cork, which naturally has waterproof properties, with rubber, which additionally increases the flexibility and durability of the material, rubber cork is characterized by resistance to water and moisture. This makes it an ideal material for applications in environments where there is contact with water, such as seals, washers or elements in the automotive, construction and many other industries, where moisture can be a factor influencing the durability of materials.
Rubber cork is resistant to oily liquids, the degree of this resistance depends on the exact composition of the material and the type of rubber used. Usually, rubber cork shows good resistance to oils, fuels, greases and other oily substances, because rubber, being part of the composite, is a material resistant to oil.
Additionally, the cork, which is part of rubber cork, also shows some resistance to absorption of liquids, which increases its functionality in difficult conditions.
