The cellular construction of cork, together with the inherent properties of rubber (natural & synthetic) present in "Rubber Cork" closely approaches the perfect gasket material. More than 50% of cork's volume is accounted for by air within the cork cells, hence compression does not produce lateral spread & the high strength of the cell walls ensures good recovery properties. The more flowing characteristics of rubber, it's ability to with stand high vaccums & the action of hot oils, are all desirable features of a good gasket material. All these properties are present in the range of rubber cork products manufactured by H.P. cork.
