Compounds CORK
Based on TPE, TPO
Cork compounds consist of natural cork granules incorporated in various thermoplastics in high concentration. The resulting finished parts or semi-finished products have a cork-like surface. They are soft and flexible and possess a range of beneficial properties, including pleasant tactile feel, good cushioning, excellent abrasion resistance, and good UV stability.
Cork compounds are used in the sports industry, for example, for bicycle grips, ski pole grips, or in the footwear industry for shoe soles or insoles. They can also be used to make handles for irons and screwdrivers.
