MOW1 Rubberised Cork Sheet

The MOW1 rubberised cork sheet (also called nitrile cork or cork/NBR sheet) is a specialized composite formed from medium‑grain cork particles bonded with premium nitrile rubber (NBR). This combination balances cork’s compressibility with nitrile’s resilience and chemical tolerance. Industrial Experts supplies this material in standard sheet sizes and thicknesses, and also cuts gaskets, strips, pads, and custom profiles from it to meet your sealing needs.

Why Choose MOW1 Rubberised Cork Sheet?

• Good balance of compressibility and resilience – seals irregular surfaces but springs back after load
• Moderate oil resistance – suitable for general sealing in mild petroleum environments
• Relatively low cost – more economical than pure elastomer sheets for many applications
• Easy to cut & process – readily machined into gaskets, strips, and pads
• Good thermal insulation and damping – cork adds insulating and vibration damping qualities
• Wide thickness selection – supports flexibility in design

Applications

– Automotive gaskets (oil pans, covers, fuel systems)
– Isolating or insulating pads in mechanical assemblies
– Vibration damping, cushioning strips or pads
– Electrical isolation or separator barriers
– General sealing in moderate conditions (light oil, moderate loads)
– Gasket stock for cutting custom shapes in equipment or machinery

FAQ – MOW1 Rubberised Cork Sheet

Q1: What makes MOW1 different from plain cork or rubber?
Rather than pure cork (which lacks resilience) or pure rubber (which is harder and costlier), MOW1 combines compressibility, flexibility, and moderate oil tolerance.

Q2: Is MOW1 suitable for high-pressure applications?
It is intended for low- to moderate-pressure sealing. For high-pressure systems, more robust materials (e.g. elastomers, PTFE composites, metallic gaskets) may be preferred.

Q3: Can it handle fuel or engine oil exposure?
Yes — MOW1 shows moderate resistance to oil and petroleum products, but in aggressive chemical or prolonged exposure, specialty cork or elastomer materials may perform better.

Q4: What is the maximum usable temperature?
The rated service range is approximately –10 °C to +80 °C. Above this range, performance (e.g. recovery, compression set) will degrade.

Q5: What thicknesses can I order?
Standard stocked thicknesses include 1.6 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.8 mm, 6.4 mm, and 9.5 mm. Other thicknesses may be available by request.

Q6: Can I get custom shapes or cut-outs?
Absolutely — we cut gaskets, strips, and custom profiles to match your drawing, sample, or specification.

Q7: Do you ship across Australia?
Yes — we deliver to all major cities and regional areas with fast shipping options.

Q8: Can I order a small quantity or even one sheet?
Yes — there’s no minimum order quantity. Whether you need a single small gasket or multiple full sheets, we can supply.

Q9: How do I ensure the sheet matches my seals?
Send us your flange or gasket drawing (CAD, sketch, or sample) and we’ll match it exactly using precision cutting.
