Cork
Cork is an excellent natural raw material. It is obtained by peeling the bark from cork oak capable of bark-regeneration. It allows its peeling without damaging the tree itself.
Thanks to its cellular structure it is the perfect sound, thermal and anti-vibration and anti-bacterial insulator.
The other advantages of cork are: low absorptivity, thermal and air humidity balancing in interior, no environment for mites, prevention of moulds and high resistance against the structure changes and ageing.
Just these properties predetermine cork for being the demanded material in various industrial fields.
Cork properties
The cork properties are implied by its structure and the chemical composition of cellular membranes. Its unique physical structure provides for the extraordinary compressibility and flexibility at one time.
Cork expanded insulations are made of cork chippings, the individual granules are interconnected without using foreign binding agents.
Cork is a resistant material with a long life. Temperature rotation, drought, moisture is no matter for it even when it is subjected to water for a long time.
Cork plates are suitable for facade thermal insulation systems. They are used as thermal insulation in lightweight assembled structures, outbuilding, ceiling and wall insulation or as the door filler insulation.
