Cork-Rubber Construction
Binder selection influences the suitable environment and handling characteristics. Identify the fluid and temperature conditions for review.
DRAWING-BASED CUSTOM PARTS
Custom Cork Gaskets
Compressible cork-based gaskets for covers, flanges and equipment interfaces where conformability matters.
Include the fluid, flange condition, clamp load and drawing so the cork gasket construction can be reviewed.
Made for Your Application
Cork gasket material combines cellular cork with a rubber binder to make flat seals that accommodate cast-surface variation and moderate bolt loading. Die cutting permits economical custom outlines, holes and narrow webs for maintenance parts and production assemblies.
Material approach
The granular structure conforms to irregular flange faces while the elastomeric binder improves handling and resilience.
Key features
- Conformable granular surface
- easy die cutting
- moderate oil resistance options
- custom bolt-hole patterns
- low tooling cost.

Engineering Guide
Practical points to include when selecting foam and preparing a drawing for review.
Flange Surface and Clamp Load
Cork gaskets are selected around surface irregularity, flange width and even clamp load. Include these details with the drawing.
Thickness and Compression
Specify the available gap and desired compressed condition. Final thickness depends on the selected construction and joint design.
Fluid Exposure
Do not assume a cork construction is compatible with a fluid. Confirm the actual media, temperature and exposure duration.
Applications / Where It Fits
Cork gasket construction should be reviewed with the fluid, flange surface, clamp load, required conformability and the selected cork-binder system.
When This Part May Not Be the Best Choice
Strong solvents, high-pressure chemical process lines, steam service, or long exposure above the material heat limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is cork suitable for a gasket?
Cork constructions are reviewed around the flange surface, clamp load, fluid exposure, temperature and required conformability.
How do I specify a custom cork gasket?
Provide the outline, thickness, bolt pattern, fluid exposure, flange condition and quantity.
Can cork gaskets include bolt holes and cutouts?
Yes. Include all holes, cutouts and critical sealing dimensions on the drawing.
Can cork be used with oil or fluids?
Compatibility depends on the binder, actual fluid, temperature and exposure duration; it must be reviewed for the application.
How should cork gasket thickness be chosen?
Thickness is considered with surface irregularity, available gap, clamp load and the selected cork construction.
Can cork gaskets be supplied in kits?
Individual parts, nested sheets and kit packing can be reviewed around the service or assembly workflow.
Can prototypes be reviewed?
Prototype feasibility depends on construction, profile, quantity and delivery requirements.
Can you make cork gaskets to my drawing?
Yes. CAD files, PDFs, dimensioned sketches and clear reference images can be reviewed for a custom quotation.
What information is needed for a quote?
Include the drawing, material preference if known, critical dimensions, quantity and the application environment.
How is a production route selected?
The manufacturing route is reviewed against the material, profile, critical requirements, quantity and delivery format rather than assumed from the part name.
