Why Cork?
Our portfolio
Primary decking – Self levelling materials
Exterior primary decking
ACM30 is a cork composite, a material specially formulated to be used as an exterior primary deck covering for levelling and fairing with additional features with IMO/MED certification. Due to the materials composition it significantly benefits weight reduction, being two to five times lighter than available primary decking solutions therefore improving vessel performance and rating, and consequently delivering energy savings. It also serves as a structural damping, soundproofing and thermal insulation barrier of the deck
Interior primary decking
ACM52 is a product for interior deck covering with IMO certification that combines outstanding technical and functional performance with impeccable sustainable credentials. It is a cork composite material especially designed to be used as an interior primary deck covering with 5-50mm thickness on metallic substrates.
Designed in compliance with stringent fire and smoke standards, ACM52 has exceptionally low thermal conductivity, offering damping performance with acoustic benefits. Extremely lightweight – it is two to five times lighter that conventional decking – it provides comfort and performance, while reducing the carbon footprint, thanks to cork’s natural characteristics on the one hand, and its important contribution to energy savings, on the other.
Cork technology is making an important contribution to a cleaner, greener shipping industry, with IMO compliance. Because our range’s main constituent is cork – a 100%natural, reusable and recyclable material – it stands out as a particularly valuable solution for sustainable deck construction, complying with the industry’s safety standards.
Amorim Cork Composites primary decking solutions have the IMO/MED Wheelmark certification that guarantees our ongoing commitment to product quality and safety of customers for sea-going yachts, offshore and passenger vessels, including cruise ships.
We strive to develop Innovative and sustainable cork-based primary deck solutions which ensure that ships comply with safety standards while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.
The key factor in ensuring a negative carbon footprint is the cork oak forest itself – which is a carbon sink, responsible for retaining 73t of CO2 per ton of cork used for a typical application, which corresponds to 2.7 kilotons of CO2 retention.
