INSULATION CORK

Amorim Industrial Solutions R&D strategy is based on highly skilled engineering processes coupled with a keen awareness of the rapidly changing needs and demands of the market. The latest developments in technology and materials, as well as related processing techniques, are some of the key elements that are studied and analyzed in order to insure innovative, ever-improving and high quality products.

Among the projects developed, the homologation and development of new products stand out in particular, namely:

• development and approval of the fourth moulded gasket for Heavy Duty Diesel (fourth gasket in the space of three years of cooperation with the client);
• extension of the range of acoustic insulation products to means of transportation – by land and by sea – with the introduction of high performance fire resistant materials;
• development of the CPGC – Cork Pu Gel Composite – range of products, with a view to their use in medical applications;
• continued development of components for integration into the “Seats” module under development by the Complementary Grouping of Companies ACECIA: this project has demonstrated that cork can make it possible to reduce the volume of seats to less than half, offering the same comfort. In addition to being recyclable, it contributes to reducing automobile consumption and emissions.
