Cork-Neoprene
Excellent weather resistance and sealing for industrial applications
View SpecificationsCork-Neoprene
Cork-Neoprene is a composite material that combines the excellent sealing properties of natural cork with the superior weather resistance, ozone resistance, and aging properties of neoprene, creating an ideal material for gasket and packing applications in outdoor and harsh environments.
With excellent weather resistance and good performance across a wide temperature range, this material is perfect for construction gaskets, marine applications, and systems exposed to adverse environmental conditions.
Outdoor Sealing Properties
Cork-Neoprene stands out for its excellent sealing and environmental resistance properties:
- Excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance
- Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to 120°C)
- Good resistance to acids and alkalis
- Excellent sealing capability and compressibility
- Aging resistance and environmental degradation resistance
These properties make it indispensable in construction, marine, architectural applications, and any outdoor environment requiring reliable sealing against adverse weather conditions.
