Sandell®’s Cork
Sandell®’s Cork is manufactured from all natural components and is available standard or self expanding. Unlike many other products used for expansion and contraction, cork is one of the most durable products on the market today. Cork will not collapse over time like other fibrous materials, but on the contrary, retains it’s shape and structural bond perfectly. Cork is water resistant and always forms a precise seal so that gases and other elements cannot penetrate the joint. Sandell®’s Cork is the proper choice for insulation, in that it is fire resistant, does not absorb dust and is non-toxic when burned. It can retain shock and sound like no other substance and it’s uses are infinite. Sandell®’s Cork has an interlocking design that has a compression/recovery rating of nearly 100%. Sandell®’s Cork conforms to ASTM D-1752 type II and type III, as well as the Corps of Engineers AASHTO-M-153-84, HH-F- 341-F requirements.
