Cork characteristics

Cork has very good elasticity, sealing, heat insulation, sound insulation, electrical insulation and abrasion resistance. It is also non-toxic, tasteless, small in specific gravity, soft to the touch, and difficult to catch fire. It is comparable to it.

The microscopic cellular structure of cork is composed of a number of cork cells with a cross-section of a hexagonal column in a honeycomb arrangement, with a density of 40 million per cubic meter. The static human in the cell cavity accounts for 70% of the unit volume, and the specific gravity is 0.24. Therefore, the softwood is a lightweight material, and the adjacent cells are filled with resin, so that each cell becomes a gas-tight, liquid-tight sealing unit.

It is because cork has a special cell structure and chemical composition, which makes it have good air cushion elasticity, shock absorption function, and excellent sound absorption, septum, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance and other properties. The insulation effect and insulation performance of cork are five times that of the original and 20 times that of the brick-concrete structure. The sound insulation of the wall material made of cork maintains the constant temperature and internal static of the room. At the same time, cork is a “B2” grade fire-resistant, self-extinguishing wood material, which has been certified by many countries such as the United States, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Europe, etc., making it a leader in wood-based materials.

It is processed into a piece of cork sheet, and the surface layer is made of resin as a protective layer. It can be similar to marble, cherry, granite, red oak, painted with glue, posted on the wall, ground, naturally The original hard-cold wall and the ground became warm and soft, and the elasticity became more flexible. The distance between people and space became closer.

It is understood that the interior walls and floor decorations selected for the construction of overseas private villas and urban gardens can be generally divided into three categories, latex paint, carpet and wooden floor, and the newly developed cork decorative board is a newly emerging category. The main reason is that there are many decorative features, rich styles, and no negative effects on the human body, so it is welcomed. The cork flooring is very wear-resistant. The cork surface is made up of numerous airbags, which not only prolongs the service life of the floor, but also has the effect of anti-slip.
