Expanded Cork Granules for Insulation 250 L Bags - Eco-Black

Crushed in black expanded ecological cork grain Expanded, Totally Water-repellent , steam treated and with modified cellular structure , more insulation . Resulting in a very efficient vegetable and ecological product, with good compressibility. Flexible and with very good recovery. Very good thermal and acoustic insulation .

It is manufactured in two sizes: 2-4 mm, 2-9 mm.

This natural insulating granulated cork comes from the manufacture of Black Ecological Agglomerated Cork sheets . It is autoclaved with superheated steam at high pressure and high temperature. With which the resin of the cork itself remains distilled, decreases the specific weight and modifies its cellular structure by expansion. Obtaining a granulated cork shavings in bulk with a highly improved coefficient of thermal conductivity with respect to raw granules, or only boiled. The result is granulated cork mortar .

This manufacturing system means that the final product is perfectly identifiable visually due to its black color and its very peculiar smell of toast, which gradually disappears over time.

Insulating Granulated Cork Applications

Very good thermal and acoustic insulation.

In Construction it is used to fill air chambers , false ceilings and other spaces to be isolated . As a component of lightened mixed mortars . It is a very efficient vegetable and ecological product , with good compressibility, flexible and with very good recovery.

In the Industry for the Thermal Insulation of Tanks and Hot Water Thermos . Isolation. Renewable energy.

It has an approximate density of 68 to 72 kg/m ³ .

Packaged in bags of 250 L and 18,- kg . For an approximate calculation to fill 1,-m ³ 4 bags are needed .

Expanded Granulated Cork for Insufflation

Expanded cork granules are used for thermal and acoustic insulation. The blowing of granulated cork consists of filling the holes and cavities in walls, ceilings and floors to reduce heat loss in winter and overheating in summer , thus reducing electricity consumption and improving energy efficiency .
