Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the development of a successful and economical artificial cork substitute. Cork has long been utilized as a bottle stopper for its unique physical properties. However, the high cost and scarcity of natural cork led to the research described in this book. The author discusses the importance of physical structure in a cork substitute and describes the new material, Noreseal, developed by researchers during World War II using low-cost agricultural products. Noreseal was found to be equal to or better than natural cork in physical tests such as resiliency, compressibility and tensile strength. The book goes on to explain the methods of producing Noreseal in sheet and rod form and a novel method for producing the liner directly in the crown. The author also discusses the specifications and physical properties of Noreseal, as well as its resistance to mold and bacteria. The book concludes with extensive data from commercial bottling tests, demonstrating that Noreseal is a viable and effective substitute for natural cork in sealing bottled carbonated beverages, beer, and food. This book will be of interest to those in the beverage industry, as well as to anyone interested in the development of new materials from renewable resources.
