Reinventing the power industry Sealing, noise & vibration control

Power Industry Cork, an exceptional raw material Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber L.), the 100% natural plant tissue covering the trunk and branches. It consists of a honeycomb-like structure of microscopic cells filled with an air-like gas and coated mainly with suberin and lignin. One cubic centimeter of cork contains about 40 million cells. Cork is also known as “nature’s foam” due to its alveolar cellular structure. It has a closed-cell structure making it lightweight, airtight and watertight, resistant to acids, fuels and oils, and impervious to rot. It is...

Sealing Unique blends of cork and select rubbers produce materials indicated for flat sealing applications. Noise & Vibration Control Noise reduction in transformers & reactors through decoupling and isolation. RIP Bushing Inlay RIP Condenser Inlay serves as an excellent stress/dimensional absorber during the resin impregnation process, absorbing contradicting dimensional changes

T&D materials are free of: • Arbestos • Heavy metals (pb, cd, hg and cr(vi)) • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) Transmission & Distribution Industry Performance-driven and recognized worldwide Power structures often endure harsh conditions and are therefore built to stand the test of time. Cork composites extend equipment lifetime in electrical power plants and distribution networks. Amorim Cork Composites has been manufacturing materials and gaskets for the transformer industry over the last four decades. Amorim T&D is the brand for products specifically designed and tested for the...
