Cork Rubber Gasket Material – High-Performance Sealing and Vibration Control Solutions

Precision Cork Rubber Gaskets Manufactured by Stephens Gaskets

Stephens Gaskets manufactures high-quality cork rubber gasket material designed for sealing, vibration control and noise reduction in demanding industrial environments.
With decades of gasket manufacturing expertise, we supply cork rubber gaskets that combine elasticity, durability and near-impermeability, delivering reliable performance across a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications.

Cork rubber remains a trusted material where traditional rubber alone is not sufficient. By combining cork granules with neoprene rubber, we create a dynamic composite structure that performs exceptionally well under compression while maintaining excellent recovery.

What Is Cork Rubber Gasket Material?

Cork rubber gasket material is a composite made by bonding cork granules into a neoprene rubber matrix.

This structure gives the material unique properties that are difficult to achieve with rubber or cork alone.

When compressed between two surfaces, cork rubber gaskets:

• Form a tight, reliable seal.
• Absorb vibration and noise.
• Compensate for uneven or poor-quality flanges.
• Maintain performance under low bolt loading.

This makes cork rubber particularly effective in applications where sealing and vibration control must work together.

Where Cork Rubber Gaskets Are Used

Cork rubber gaskets are widely specified for applications where sealing and vibration control are equally important.

Common uses include:

• Crankcase covers.
• Sumps.
• Valve covers.
• General covers and lids.
• Electrical transformers.
• Electrical switchgear.
• Inspection doors.
• Pumps, compressors and lifts.
• Anti-vibration pads for HVAC systems.

In many installations, cork rubber gaskets are positioned beneath heavy equipment to reduce noise transmission and mechanical vibration while maintaining a secure seal.
