Eco-friendly coloured cork finish coating

2

Cork is a noble material that has been used since ancient times thanks to its features: it is highly elastic and waterproofing skills, it is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and it is resistant to wear, fire, rodents and bug attacks.Cork is also odourless, non-toxic, not allergenic, rotproof, anti-static, rapidly renewable and its harvest does not damage the cork oak.

Thanks to these features, cork matches Green Building material criteria:• It is renewable and its harvest is

environmental friendly • Its manufacturing is clean and

healthy, and requires a low energy consumption.

• It contributes to regularise humidity:it ensures Thermal Comfort and Living Wellness.

• Considering its thermal insulation, itcontributes to energy saving.

• It is not dangerous for nature andhuman health.

According to Diasen, cork is not simply a raw material, but the true "soul" of our products. Following our know-how and experience for over 30 years in cork manufacturing, we became highly qualified and we obtained the most important and prestigious certification from leading international research laboratories.
