Nitrile Bonded Cork Full Face Gaskets

At Industrial Experts, we supply Nitrile Bonded Cork Full Face Gaskets — made from cork granules bound in a nitrile rubber (NBR) matrix. This hybrid gives the gasket the compressibility of cork and the resilience and oil resistance of nitrile. These full face gaskets cover the entire flange, including the bolt holes, making them useful in applications with uneven surfaces, low bolt loads, or general sealing requirements.

Why Choose Nitrile Bonded Cork Full Face Gaskets?

• Good oil & fuel resistance – better than plain cork due to NBR binder
• High compressibility & flexibility – seals under low bolt load, accommodates flange irregularities
• Reasonable temperature range – typically about -10 °C to 120 °C
• Cost-effective & versatile – relatively inexpensive, useful for many general-purpose applications
• Ease of cutting & customization – available in sheets, easy to cut to size

Sizes & Standards

We supply these gaskets to suit:
– Flange Sizes: 15mm to 2400mm
– Thicknesses: 0.8mm to 9.5mm

FAQ – Nitrile Bonded Cork Full Face Gaskets

Q1: What is the composition of nitrile bonded cork?
It comprises cork granules bonded together with nitrile rubber (NBR) to combine compressibility and resilience.

Q2: How hot can they go?
Most grades are rated to ~100 °C to 120 °C (depending on binder and formulation).

Q3: Are they oil resistant?
Yes — much more oil/fuel resistant than plain cork because of the nitrile binder.

Q4: Are they good for high pressure or steam?
Not ideal for high-pressure or steam applications. Better suited to lower pressure sealing where full face coverage is beneficial.

Q5: Can I get a custom shape or flange pattern?
Absolutely — we can cut to any shape, including large diameters and complex bolt patterns.
