Technical Data Sheet - Nitrile Bonded Cork
General properties and application
Nitrile Bonded Cork is a high-grade composition of cork granules and a Nitrile
binder. The sheet is flexible and oil resistant, making it an ideal gasket material.
This grade of cork is particularly suited to applications where it is impossible
to get a bolt torque to create a minimum sealing stress. The Nitrile binder
makes it suitable for use with hot oils for transformer applications. The suitability
for particular oils at specified temperatures should be confirmed.
Temperature - Recommended maximum - 120°C
Pressure Recommended for low pressure with bolt torque
