As 100 % natural, reusable and recyclable, cork is one of the world’s most versatile materials from an environmental, social or economic perspective. Cork solutions contribute to a more sustainable future and have been used for several years in industries such as aerospace, automotive or energy.
Amorim Cork Composites has developed a range of cork composite solutions specifically for the power industry, under the Amorim T&D brand. This range of solutions can be applied in different parts of an electric transformer, thereby contributing to better sealing and control of vibration and noise, while improving the system’s sustainability, when compared to 100 % rubber solutions.
