100cm X 50cm Sheet of Klinger Statite High Quality Oil & Petrol Resistant Gasket Cork

This gasket cork is high quality neoprene bonded cork gasket material

Gasket cork sheets are supplied in approximately 100cm by 50cm sheets

Sheets are posted rolled up as this prevents putting creases/cracks in the cork if they were folded.

The buoyancy of natural cork is used to good effect in petrol and oil level gauges, but the most important application of cork in the automotive industries is in cork-and-rubber gaskets. Today, these are as essential as petrol or diesel fuel to the car and truck industries. The material used combine the compressibility and resilience of cork with the high mechanical strength and dimensional stability making them the best substances of such automotive applications as oil pan gaskets, valve cover gaskets and timing gear cover gaskets.

Another important application of cork is as a seal to retain lubricants in crank shaft bearings when pressure is applied, the air within cork cells is compressed, thus exerting a reverse pressure on the restraining faces. This is termed 'fight back' and is a primary requirement in all good gasket materials. Cork can be cut easily, and because it is strong and flexible, it can be used for making gaskets with narrow flanges.
