Cork is a versatile and sustainable material that is obtained from the bark of the cork oak. Cork has many positive properties that make it an ideal material for various applications. One of these is the use of cork as an anti-slip coating for linoleum mouse pads and desk mats.
Cork has high friction and adheres well to various substrates. Cork is also elastic, sound-absorbing, hygienic and heat-insulating. Cork therefore not only prevents mouse pads and desk mats from slipping, but also protects the furniture surface and ensures a pleasant working environment.
The use of cork as an anti-slip coating also has an ecological advantage. Cork is a renewable raw material that is harvested without damaging the trees. The cork oaks are peeled every nine to twelve years and can live for up to 200 years. Cork production promotes biodiversity and the protection of Mediterranean forests. Cork is also easily recyclable and can be processed into new products.
Cork as an anti-slip coating for linoleum mouse pads and desk mats is therefore a practical, aesthetic and sustainable solution that offers many advantages. Cork is not only non-slip to work with, it is also good for the environment.
