At the upper end of the density range, cork agglomerates behave more like engineered wood than like an insulation material. They machine cleanly, hold fasteners, and provide a stable substrate for industrial gaskets and dimensional components.

Density is engineered through granulometry selection and compression in the agglomeration press. Specifying the right density is the difference between a sealing element that lasts a decade and one that compresses out of spec in a year.
