Cork-rubber is a composite material made by grinding natural cork and neoprene rubber into fine particles and bonding them together under heat and pressure. The result is a durable, non-slip, high-grip surface that grips like rubber, cushions like cork, and offers high tensile strength, making it resistant to tearing or denting even under heavy use.
These sheets are ideal as a workbench mat, protecting both your workbench and your workpieces from damage. The high-grip surface is non-slip and stays firmly in place without sliding, while the durable cork-rubber material prevents dents and dings. It is also resistant to most glues, finishes, stains, and many common shop solvents, and wipes clean easily.
At 3/32″ thick, these non-PSA sheets can be easily repositioned as needed, making them well-suited for temporary setups, shared benches, and portable workstations.
Beyond workbench mats, these sheets are equally useful around the shop: line toolboxes and tool drawers, stabilize jigs, or place them under fixtures and small machines to reduce movement and vibration. This material has hundreds of uses literally in the shop.
Each sheet is easy to cut to size with a sharp knife or scissors.
Features & Benefits:
- Keeps workpieces from sliding during layout, assembly, sanding, and hand-tool work.
- Helps prevent marring, denting, and scratches on both delicate parts and finished surfaces.
- High tensile strength resists tearing, compression, and denting.
- Cuts cleanly with a sharp knife or scissors for custom-fit applications on benches, trays, drawers, or tools.
- Withstands and wipes clean of common shop glues, finishes, stains, and many solvents.
- At 2 mm (3/32″), it provides protection and grip without feeling spongy or interfering with precision work.
Common Uses:
- Workbench mats and assembly surfaces
- Lining tool drawers, toolboxes, and trays
- Padding clamp faces to prevent marring
- Sanding block pads and jig stabilization
- Under fixtures, benchtop machines, or vises to reduce movement
- Protective liners for shelves, carts, and shop storage
- General shop padding wherever grip and protection are needed
