WHAT ARE NATURAL CORK GRANULES USED FOR?
Our cork granules are specifically designed for use in press-molding applications. They’re ideal for producing custom-made parts in industries such as construction, furniture design, footwear, sports equipment, and decorative objects. Wherever precision and distinct shapes are needed, this mix gets the job done.
HOW DOES THE PROCESS OF MOLDING CORK GRANULES WORK?
The process involves compacting small cork granules under the influence of heat and pressure. The adhesive is activated within a temperature range of 230-266°F (110-130°C).
Granules are placed into a mold, which is then heated while pressure is applied. The adhesive bonds the granules, creating a solid structure. After cooling, the product is ready to be used.
DO THE CORK GRANULES HAVE AN OPEN WORKING TIME?
No, and that’s a major advantage. The adhesive only activates when it reaches the necessary temperature, allowing you to work at your own pace without the stress of limited working time.
IS POLYURETHANE USED IN THIS CORK MIX?
No, this mixture is entirely eco-friendly. It’s free from polyurethane and harmful solvents, making it a responsible and sustainable option.
WHAT SHOULD I KEEP IN MIND WHEN PRESS MOLDING CORK?
There are two key aspects to consider:
- Even distribution of the granules – make sure the granules are spread uniformly inside the mold to prevent imperfections in the final product.
- Proper heating – the mold needs to be heated to 230-266°F (110-130°C). If the temperature is too low, the adhesive won’t bond effectively.
HOW LONG CAN THE CORK MIX BE STORED?
Indefinitely, as long as it’s sealed properly. Exposure to moisture will degrade the material over time.
Store it in a dry place where the humidity level remains below 40-50%.
CAN THIS CORK MIX BE DYED?
Yes, it can be tinted using pigments.
For the best results, add the pigment gradually while mixing to ensure even color distribution. Adding too much at once may result in uneven shades.
IS CORK GRANULATE REUSABLE?
Yes, natural cork is completely recyclable. It can be broken down and reshaped through press molding, helping you reduce waste and cut costs.
HOW IS CORK GRANULATE PRODUCED?
Cork granules are produced by processing the bark of cork oak trees. This results in a loose, highly adaptable material perfect for shaping.
Mistakes during production can cost time and damage your reputation. Natural cork improves your workflow, reduces material waste, and strengthens your company’s position as a reliable partner to your clients.
