RC 80C

A General Purpose Material having low Oil resistance but good Flex properties. Best Suited for Automotive And Light Electrical Industry

A good oil resistant for Material having good flex properties and Material high hardness. This is ideally suitable for from fine Automotive industry, for Distribution Transformers and Switchgears and for excellent Oil immersed Starters.

This is suitable for the Transformers and Engineering applications. A material having high hardness manufactured from cork granules providing excellent oil and heat resistant properties & excellent Compression Set. Widely used by Electricity Boards & Transformer Manufacturers

This is suitable for Heavy Engineering applications. A material having high hardness manufactured from fine cork granules providing excellent oil, heat and ozone resistant Properties. Its excellent Compression Set and Side Flow properties control lateral spread tendency of ordinary Cork sheets and is therefore, best suitable for outdoor Transformers. Widely Used by Electricity Authorities & Transformer Manufacturers
