What is cork powder?
Cork powder is the best pulverised and natural material! Extracted from agglomerated cork and obtained from carefully selected and clean pieces of this raw material. Powder form cork is made by a mechanical grinding. The parts used in the process are most often acquired in the production of cork stoppers – such activity allows the cork to be used in its entirety, including post-production waste. Cork powder is especially recommended for people who are searching for a very fine cork material which is lightweight, compressible and flexible. Cork in this form can be used in applications that are not possible with the traditional form of the material (e.g. cork board sheets).What is the size of cork powder?
Due to the multitude of applications, you can find cork powder in two sizes. Both products are available in the size of 10 kilograms. The purchase of a smaller quantity is only possible on request (via e-mail) – please contact us. The selected product is 0 - 0.5 mm (the average density of 90-110 kg/m³) in size.What are the characteristics of cork powder?
Cork powder presents a raw brown colour (see photos). Bear in mind that cork is a natural product and its individual parts may slightly differ in colour. The product is loose, lightweight and very pleasant to touch. Cork powder's appearance is very similar to sand, so it can be used as an effective imitation, mainly for artistic purposes.What is cork powder used for? Practical material for various industries!
Due to its good insulating properties and powdery form, very small particles of natural cork are ideal for processing and use in the production of the most demanding industries like construction or building industry (e.g. effective material for diaphragm walls). Thanks to the functional size and form of cork powder, the material is also useful in creating numerous professional sport gadgets, in the production of batteries and accumulators or moulded rubber products. Due to its flammability, cork powder is often used in pyrotechnics. And this is just the beginning of the story!Looking for effective insulation?
Natural cork is the best natural insulating material! Adding cork powder to your building materials ensures improved insulation and a longer lifespan of the materials. Natural cork is a very good heat insulator – all thanks to the cork structure, which consists of tiny cells filled with air. The structure effectively blocks heat transfer through the cork layer. Natural cork also has sound absorbing properties.Discover more useful properties of cork powder!
Powder made from tiny in size pieces of cork does not conduct electricity. Cork powder is chemically inert and does not react with gases and liquids. Additionally, cork is resistant to UV radiation and biological corrosion. Natural cork is light, resistant to fire, moisture and weather conditions. This is a material that will serve you for many years!Searching for cork powder for carp fishing pop-ups?
Very fine particles of the cork powder are recommended for anglers who wish to create effective fishing cork balls pop-ups. Natural cork is lightweight and guarantees very good buoyancy. Add cork powder to your bait mix – the inclusion of cork powder in the base mix allows the creation of slowly sinking hook baits.Cork powder for arts and crafts
When mixed with the right binder, cork powder is ideal for shaping and designing professional historical or architectural models. Ideal for companies engaged in creating decorative gadgets, e.g. Christmas cribs, dioramas, scenography (e.g. as filler material for decorative objects) or floristic articles. Cork powder is often used as a substitute for sand (theatre and artistic events). After shaping it, natural cork can be painted with acrylic paint, which allows personalising the final products in a variety of ways.How to safely use cork powder and store it?
Using cork powder may be irritating to the respiratory system – we recommend using a face mask. Also remember to avoid contact with the eyes and do not ingest the product. The excessive amount of the material can be collected by hand or with a vacuum cleaner and floor brush. Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Protect against direct sunlight, moisture, and keep the product away from heat sources.Natural cork - sustainable material is a winner!
Cork is a completely ecological material obtained from raw material – cork oak bark. The bark of the cork oak is harvested without damaging the trees, and the top layer renews itself every 9 years – no negative impact on the environment! A great advantage of natural cork is that it combines ecological material with unusual properties, and does not use high-energy processing. The product is safe for your health. Cork powder can also be used as an energy material – natural cork used for biomass is a response to today's emission standards, as natural cork is a renewable raw material.Technical data
