2. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   The material is sustainable, reusable and recyclable. There are two types of cork, the pure cork, which is preferable due to its natural bonding properties, and the agglomeration cork. The pure cork is made by processes of heating and steaming whereby cork granulates are molded into a block. The natural resin of the cork acts as a bonding agent.

3. Cork (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(material)

   Harvesting of cork from the forests of Algeria, 1930. Cork is a natural material used by humans for over 5,000 years. It is a material whose applications have been known since antiquity, especially in floating devices and as stopper for beverages, mainly wine, whose market, from the early twentieth century, had a massive expansion, particularly due to the development of several cork-based ...

4. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

   The consideration of Moisture transfer increases energy consumption marginally in the winter due to desorption phenomenon and decreases cooling energy in the summer. El Wardi et al. [18] investigated a new sandwich material using a clay-cork composite as a base material with a protective layer of plaster and cement mortar. Simulations on a ...

5. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   Gaskets allow for "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials. Given the potential cost and safety implications of faulty or leaking gaskets, it is critical that the correct gasket material is selected to fit the needs of the application. [3]

6. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   RTV silicone rubber can be used to cast materials including wax, gypsum, low-melt alloys/metals, and urethane, epoxy, or polyester resins (without using a release agent). A more recent innovation is the ability to 3D print RTV silicones.

7. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

   A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets. The seals are installed in pumps in ...
