Cork is a popular material. It has good environmental performance and can be recycled. Some people do not know much about cork, so what is cork? What can it be used for?
1. What is cork
Cork is also known as cork, it is made from the bark of cork oak. Quercus variabilis can only be stripped when it grows for more than 20 years, and then stripped every ten to twenty years. It is mainly distributed in subtropical and temperate climate regions, such as Portugal, Spain, and our Qinba Mountains, etc.
2. The advantages of cork
a. Cork is a light-weight material. It has a special cell structure. There are 40 million cells per cubic meter. They are arranged in a honeycomb shape. The cells are filled with resin, so it has a great reduction. Shock and sound insulation.
b. Cork also has good heat insulation effect, and it is a fire-resistant material with B2 grade. Its thermal insulation performance is about 20 times that of brick-concrete structure.
c. Because cork is composed of cells, it has good elasticity and can adapt to different pressures, and its cells are filled with cork resin and other components, which can well block the penetration of liquids and other substances.
d. Cork is also a degradable material, which can be recycled and reused. It has good environmental performance. In addition, it also has good corrosion resistance, electrical insulation performance and so on.
3. Disadvantages of cork
Compared with other materials, cork has poor compression resistance. If the pressure of an object exceeds its elastic range, it cannot be restored to its original shape, and its cleaning is more troublesome and its price is more expensive.
2. What are the uses of cork
1. One of the more common uses of cork is to make cork stoppers. It has always been considered an ideal wine stopper. Its elastic characteristics can seal the bottle well, and it does not completely isolate the air, which can make the wine taste more mellow.
2. Cork can also be made into various building materials, such as cork floors and wall panels. The structure of cork is stable, with good elasticity, sound insulation performance, etc. The floor made of it has a comfortable foot feel, which can reduce noise and create a comfortable and quiet environment for us. In addition, cork can also be used to make life buoys, cork insoles, wallets, mouse pads, etc. It is very versatile.
