Included processes
The manufacturing process of Amorim Wise Cork Pure UV begins with cork granulate production, using cork that was previously treated at Amorim Florestal. Around 88% of the granulated cork previously produced is forwarded to an agglomeration process in which a melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin is used to produce the agglomerated cork layer. This layer is the inferior layer of the final product and constitutes most of the thickness of the product. The remaining granulated cork, together with a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resin, is used to produce the genuine cork veener, the decorative layer of the Amorim Wise Cork Pure UV. The agglomerated cork layer and the decorative genuine cork veener, that compose the final product structure are glued together using glue and adhesives as binding agents. This unfinished product then follows to a pressure and heat process, before going through sanding. The product is ultimately varnished with a base coat as well as a top coat varnish and finished by an UV (ultraviolet) drying process. The result of this process is then forwarded for the final cut of the pieces and ultimately packed and stored in the shipment warehouse, ready for shipment.
