How to choose a gas sealing solution?
To select the best sealing material for a gas system its constituent factors must be considered, such as the type of gas, necessary compressibility, required sealing load or seal thickness.
Injection molding for cork seals
The injection process consists of introducing a specific mixture of material into a mold, which is then subjected to controlled pressure and temperature. It is thereby possible to guarantee that the final product has precise dimensions and consistent technical characteristics, eliminating the need for any additional operations. The flexibility of the moulds also makes it possible to create complex, customized shapes, in function of the specific requirements of each application.
Unlike traditional methods, which require separate stages of vulcanization, lamination to ensure the right thickness and cutting for the final shape, the injection process simplifies the workflow by combining these phases in a single mold and work flow. This delivers advantages such as optimization of production time of the joint and less waste of materials, thereby reducing production costs.
Amorim Cork Solutions has invested in integrating and perfecting the injection molding process for the production of cork composite joints in order to respond effectively to growing market demands. This investment reinforces the company's goal of creating unique and ground-breaking solutions by combining the unique properties of cork with advanced technologies. Continued investment in innovation and technological development not only strengthens the company's ability to meet specific customer needs, but also helps position cork as a high-performance material.
Use of the injection process in cork composite joints, not only modernizes production but also offers an efficient solution, by reducing operating costs, eliminating complementary processes and guaranteeing high-quality finished products.

When it comes to domestic gas applications it is essential to ensure effective and reliable sealing solutions. Amorim Tech Seal has been offering innovative and sustainable sealing solutions for such applications for several years.
To guarantee impermeability to hydrogen, Amorim Cork Solutions has tested two cork-based materials: cork&EPDM and cork&NBR. The tests revealed that both seals provide excellent sealing in a 100% hydrogen environment.
