Cork & Rubber Gasket Materials
Known for its flexibility and resistance to oils, fuel, and other chemicals, cork rubber is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial industries. Accurate Felt & Gasket (AFG) manufactures custom gaskets using a variety of high-performance cork and rubber materials. We are also a materials master distributor and can provide bulk cork and rubber materials for any application and in any quantity you may need. We offer die cutting, slitting (coils and small rolls), and other services, including laminating pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), to provide gaskets and cork and rubber materials that meet our customers’ unique requirements.
Our custom gasket experts can help determine which cork and rubber material is best suited for your application requirements. Contact us with your project requirements.
Amorim Cork & Rubber Materials
AFG stocks a variety of products from Amorim. Amorim is the world’s largest producer of cork products. With nearly 150 years of experience, this Portuguese company distinguishes itself through the quality and innovation that goes into its products and its ability to anticipate and respond to market needs.
ACCOSEAL® Products
ACCOSEAL® products are especially effective in metal-to-metal joints where a gasket fits into a machined groove in a flange. Because of cork's inherent cell structure, no allowance for side flow is needed. Compressible ACCOSEAL cork and rubber materials can take the place of more expensive (and non-compressible) molded rubber O-rings. Additional benefits of Accoseal® products include:
- ACCOSEAL® materials retain some of the friction of cork, which helps to reduce slippage or extrusion of gaskets.
- ACCOSEAL® cork and rubber materials will easily conform to poor surface conditions and compensate for minor flange irregularities. This is especially helpful for applications where the bolt load is low.
- ACCOSEAL® materials exhibit excellent resilience, which provides resistance to compression set and other fatigue effects. ACCOSEAL cork and rubber gaskets are more resistant to aging than standard rubber gaskets.
