The process of cork extraction is called stripping, a highly specialized process
that guarantees that the tree is not harmed.
The special cork used in the Oil Sorber products is pre-selected and heat treated
(NO ADDITIVES) in order to have the best performance to sorb hydrocarbons, oils and organic compounds. In these conditions cork has a strong affinity with hydrocarbons and the sorbent effect is instantaneous. The cork cells suck the oil by capillarity and retain it efficiently.
