Antivibration Cork Gaskets
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd manufacture thousands of antivibration cork gaskets daily in our modern facilities. All gaskets are produced using either our oscillating knives or our extensive range of presses, depending on the size, thickness, and quantity required. This flexibility allows us to create bespoke cork gaskets quickly and efficiently from your drawings or samples, delivering high-quality products while providing cost savings.
Our cork gaskets can be supplied with a plain or self-adhesive finish, as singular cut parts or kiss-cut on rolls. We can manufacture standard square gaskets, intricate shapes, or components with holes or flanges to meet any design requirements.
What are Anti-Vibration Cork Gaskets?
A gasket is a sheet of material acting as a seal between surfaces to prevent leaks, maintain air-tight joints, and protect against dust or debris, making them essential in a wide range of applications.
Anti-vibration cork gaskets are highly compressible, suitable for low to medium bolt pressure, and offer excellent durability and flexibility. The cork can be bonded with neoprene or nitrile rubber, enhancing resistance to oils, petrol, and chemicals. This combination creates a strong, resilient material ideal for dampening or eliminating noise and vibrations in industrial and mechanical environments.

Why use Anti-Vibration Cork Gaskets?
Anti-vibration cork provides sound absorption, oil and chemical sealing, and protection against abrasive damage. These gaskets are commonly used in:
- Heavy industrial machinery
- Railway production
- Industrial refrigeration units
- Generators
- Acoustic suspension buildings
They help dampen or eliminate noise and vibrations generated by large machinery, which can otherwise cause structural damage, hearing harm, and machine wear, preventing costly repairs and safety issues.
Different Grades
Anti-vibration cork is available in two types, each suited to specific applications:
- Nitrile Bonded Cork – Manufactured from cork and nitrile rubber granules, producing a speckled appearance. Ideal for oil and fuel resistance or high-temperature applications, commonly used in automotive and general engineering.
- Neoprene Bonded Cork – Made from cork and neoprene rubber granules, providing resistance to oil, weathering, and higher temperatures. Perfect for engineering, electrical, anti-vibration, and soundproofing applications.
All cork gaskets are durable and resilient, designed to provide a long-lasting, strong seal.
Benefits of Anti-Vibration Cork Gaskets
- Sound suppression
- Thermal insulation
- Bonded with other materials, depending on the application
- Oil resistance
- Anti-vibration properties
- Durable and long-lasting
Advantages of Using Anti-Vibration Cork Gaskets
Anti-vibration cork offers noise and vibration dampening, thermal insulation, and is naturally flame-retardant. It does not absorb water, preventing mould growth.
The material provides excellent longevity and recovery, meaning it quickly returns to its original shape after compression or exposure to heavy loads. Its adaptability also helps prevent structural damage over time, offering cost savings in heavy industrial and engineering applications.
