For many decor manufacturers, classic cork sheets and rolls are the go-to materials – they work well for cutting simple shapes. But when it comes to crafting intricate details and custom designs, flexibility is key. That’s where a specialized, dry, granulated cork blend for pressure molding changes the game. With this innovative material, you’ll stay ahead of the competition – long before they even discover it!

HOW IS CORK MIX USED?
Cork mix is a pressure-molded cork solution, perfect for shaping custom parts across multiple industries – from construction and furniture to footwear, sports, and decorative applications. If precision and unique designs matter, this is your go-to material.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF FORMING CORK GRANULES?
The process starts with compacting small cork granules into a solid shape using pressure and high heat (activation occurs at 230–266°F).
The granules are placed in a mold, which is heated while pressure is applied. The adhesive then activates, bonding the material into a durable structure. Once the mold is removed, the final product is ready to go.
DOES CORK MIX HAVE AN OPEN TIME?
No, cork mix doesn’t have an open time, which makes it incredibly convenient. The adhesive remains inactive until it reaches the required activation temperature (230–266°F). This means you’re in full control of the process – no need to rush, just work at your own pace.
DOES GRANULATED CORK MIX CONTAIN POLYURETHANE?
No, our formula is eco-friendly. It’s completely free from polyurethane and solvents, making it a safe and sustainable option.
WHAT SHOULD I BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN PRESSURE MOULDING CORK GRANULES?
There are two key factors to focus on:
- Even granule distribution – make sure the cork granules are spread uniformly in the mold to avoid any imperfections in the finished product.
- Correct temperature – ensure the mold reaches the right temperature range of 230–266°F. If the temperature is too low, the adhesive won’t activate properly.
HOW SHOULD CORK MIX BE STORED, AND FOR HOW LONG?
Cork granules can be stored indefinitely, as long as they are kept in airtight packaging. Without proper sealing, the granules can absorb moisture, which may affect their quality.
For optimal storage, keep the mix in a dry place, with humidity levels no higher than 40–50%.
CAN THE CORK MIX BE COLORED?
Yes, you can color cork mix using pigments.
A common mistake is using too much pigment at once, which can lead to uneven coloring. It’s best to add it gradually and mix thoroughly after each addition to ensure an even distribution.
IS CORK GRANULE SUITABLE FOR RECYCLING?
Yes, natural cork is 100% recyclable. You can grind it down and reprocess it through pressure moulding to create new products, reducing waste and avoiding extra costs!
HOW IS CORK GRANULE MADE?
Granulated cork is produced by breaking down the bark of the cork oak tree into small fragments. This transforms the natural material into a loose mix, ready for further shaping.
Time is money, and every production mistake means wasted resources and lost trust. Natural cork helps minimize downtime, cut down on waste, and boost your company’s reputation as a dependable partner.
#1 NATURAL CORK = A BUSINESS ADVANTAGE
Consumers are increasingly looking for eco-conscious products. Natural cork ticks all the boxes, enhancing your brand’s reputation as responsible and environmentally aware. Companies that ignore sustainable solutions risk losing customer loyalty and falling behind their competitors.
Cork mix is an eco-friendly option because it’s free of polyurethanes and fully recyclable. When customers see that you prioritize sustainability, they trust you more. They know choosing your products means making a positive environmental impact, and that keeps them coming back and referring you to others.
#2 QUALITY THAT SIMPLIFIES PRODUCTION
Cork mix is a high-quality, clean material that minimizes contamination and technical problems. With precise granulation, you can be sure that each piece fits perfectly, ensuring smooth production without delays. This means you can focus on expanding your business instead of dealing with troubleshooting.
What does this mean for your team? Production becomes more efficient as the material performs reliably every time. Orders are completed faster, leading to happier customers. You gain more time, take on new projects, and enhance productivity!
#3 RELIABILITY IN EVERY BATCH
Every defective batch means lost time and money, while inconsistent materials damage your brand's credibility. The ready-to-use, dry cork mix guarantees consistency – delivering high-quality results with every batch.
With pressure moulding, you can continue with subsequent batches and achieve the same shapes each time. The consistency of the material ensures every part meets the same quality standards, with no need for adjustments or fixes.
