Have the vehicle insulated with spray cork

Spray cork can coat complex contours and areas that are difficult to cover with sheet material without leaving any joints.
In vehicle construction, however, the material is not an isolated individual component, but rather part of a coordinated concept consisting of substrate, layer structure, thermal bridges, moisture management and interior design.
NORIQA develops the insert to suit the vehicle, use, climate and the surrounding materials.

Intended as a system

Spray cork can do a lot - but not everything alone.

The coating follows complex contours and can support heat, moisture and acoustic properties. However, the interaction with the substrate, corrosion protection, other insulation materials and interior design remains crucial.

Spray cork can support this

Low joints even on complex geometries.

  • Coat ribs, profiles and embossed surfaces
  • Reduce direct contact surfaces with cold metal
  • Add condensation management
  • Acoustically calm selected areas
This needs to be resolved additionally

The entire wall structure remains crucial.

  • Corrosion protection and stable substrate
  • constructive thermal bridges and penetrations
  • Ventilation, indoor humidity and dew point
  • Transitions to insulation, cladding and fastenings

Insight into practice

Spray cork in the vehicle interior

A real, seamless application on walls, roof surfaces, ribs and complex contours. Recesses and connection points remain accessible for further expansion.

Frequently asked questions about spray cork insulation

Important basics for use in vehicle construction.

Does spray cork replace complete vehicle insulation?

Not across the board. The required solution depends on usage, climate, vehicle design, available layer thickness and other insulation materials. Spray cork is assessed as part of the overall structure.

Does spray cork completely prevent condensation?

A coating with few joints can support moisture management. However, condensation is also influenced by thermal bridges, humidity, ventilation, temperature and the entire wall structure.

Can spray cork be applied directly to rust?

No. Corrosion and unstable layers must be professionally assessed and treated beforehand. The substrate and corrosion protection must match the coating system.

How thick is spray cork applied?

Layer thickness and number of work steps depend on the product, substrate, approved processing and desired function. A general thickness is not serious without a concrete system structure.

Is spray cork suitable for every vehicle?

Suitability depends on body, existing coatings, interior design, use and accessible areas. Before planning, the specific structure should be checked.

What information is needed for a concept?

The type of vehicle, photos of the interior surfaces, existing corrosion protection, planned expansion, travel profile, climate area and requirements for heat, humidity and acoustics are helpful.
