PG-CORK Granule
The world's first patented material
We have developed the world’s first patented manufacturing technology that allows cork to be used alone—without any additives—for outdoor surface paving, such as children’s playgrounds, sports courts, and walking paths.
✿ PG-CORK Granule is made with U.S. Patented technology
✿ American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F-1292 compliant
PG-CORK Granule is a product created through various processes on the surface of cork using a special binder. It significantly enhances strength and durability while also improving workability.
The significance of PG-CORK Granule’s commercialization is that it has enabled the creation of a product that can be used as an indoor and outdoor construction material using only cork, without any additional materials. This contributes to making human life safer, more comfortable, and healthier. The widespread use of PG-CORK Granule will naturally help protect the environment.
