    Acousti Visit our website at www.acousticorkusa.com SOUND CONTROL UNDERLAYMENT PRODUCTS AMORIM CORK COMPOSITES, INC. – Phone: (800) 558-3206 CORK – A Natural Wonder The unique natural qualities of cork make it a most effective material for the control of sound transmission in hard surface flooring applications. The physical structure of cork, with nearly 200 million completely sealed air filled cells per cubic inch, makes it a very effective acoustic insulator. This same physical structure also provides cork with the ability to be repeatedly compressed and yet recover nearly 100% of its original shape and size. These combined benefits make cork an ideal and time-tested choice for sound control underlayment applications. Millions of square feet of AcoustiCORK products have been successfully installed under a wide variety of finished flooring materials in projects all over the world. CORK – A Truly Environmentally Superior Product Cork is a truly renewable resource. Unlike solid wood, composite wood products, paper and other “renewable resources”; no trees are cut down to make cork products. In fact, Cork Oak trees in Portugal and most other producing countries are protected by law. The product that we know as Cork consists of the bark of the Cork Oak tree. The bark is stripped from about 1/3 of the tree every 9 to 12 years. This process enhances the life span of the tree. Without being periodically harvested, the life span of a Cork Oak would be considerably shorter than the 150 to 200 plus years seen in cultivated trees. The manufacturing process of cork products also produces a near zero waste stream and results in no toxic emissions.

  • ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS of PALM WINE (Elaeis Guineensis) ON
    ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS OF PALM WINE (Elaeis guineensis) ON SALMONELLA TYPHI ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES ABSTRACT Background: Palm wine is a traditional alcoholic beverage produce by natural fermentation of the sap of palm trees. Palm wine is normally use traditionally for the extraction of active ingredients from leaves, barks and stems of some medicinal search for new antimicrobial agents. The discovery of new antimicrobial agents from different sources such as microorganisms, animals, plants and plant products has been the major challenge of researchers. Aims: This research work is to investigate the antibacterial effects of palm wine (Elaeis guineensis) on Salmonella typhi isolated from different sources. Study design: The samples were collected overnight from palm trees (E. guineensis). And it was assayed for antibacterial activity on S. typhi isolated from different sources using Agar well diffusion method. The effect of dilution and fermentation duration of the palm wines on isolated S. typhi was also determined. Palm wine (E. guineensis) inhibitedS. typhi isolated, with diameter zones of inhibition ranging from 6.33±0.67 to 39.33±0.33 mm respectively. Palm wine from both palm trees was found to be more active against S. typhi than the conventional antibiotics (Chloramphenicol, Amoxycillin, Gentamycin and Ciprofloxacin) used, with diameter zones of inhibition ranging from 1.00± 0.33 to 20.67±0.57.The greatest inhibitory effect was on S. typhi isolated from well water (6.67± 0.31 to 44.67± 0.67 mm), while the least effect was on S. typhi isolated from an apparently healthy individual with inhibition ranging from 7.33±0.33 to 29.67± 0.33 mm.

  • Gum Resin Pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 Th and 20 Th Centuries
    Juan Luis Delgado. Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Estudios Rurales, Vol 6, N° 11, ISSN 2250-4001, CEAR-UNQ, Buenos Aires, segundo semestre de 2016, pp., 48-69 Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries Abstract Gum resin as natural resource has a long history. In regard to landscape transformation has been quite decisive in numerous pinewoods, however, it is barely known outside places of production and consumption. In the last two centuries the demand of its main by-products, spirit of turpentine and rosin, grew exponentially while chemical industries such as paint and varnish, paper, rubber, soap, etcetera, were increasing its production. Considering that was necessary to keep the forest standing in order to get the gum resin I am going to compare the situation of pinewoods in France, Spain and United States, to show the consequences in the landscape of this industrial activity in different contexts and backgrounds. The most important cause in pinewoods transformation into «organic machines» was forestry, and politics; nevertheless, its application depended upon regional and national trajectories. The case of gum resin pinewoods is a good example of how industrialization had to deal with nature to obtain organic chemical products, studying intensely the mechanisms of the forest and the pine with the economical and ecological idea that preserve them was the aim, and so, transforming them into a crop of pines with its socio-environmental consequences.

    Information Bureau | 2019 History CORK. ÍNDICE BRIEF GLIMPSE OF THE CORK HISTORY ....................................................................................................... 3 Cork Information Bureau | 2019 P | 2 CORK. BRIEF GLIMPSE OF THE CORK HISTORY Despite its many different uses, for centuries the most faithful ambassador of cork IN the world has been the natural cork stopper, a closure of exceptional quality that is still today preferred and demanded by the great wine producers. However, throughout History there have been numerous references to this product and its varied applications. • The first trees identified as cork oaks date back millions of years. • The cork oak became established in the region it occupies today around 10 thousand years ago. • In 3000 BC, cork was already being used in fishing tackle in Egypt, Babylon and Persia. In addition to its use in fishing tackle, cork appears in Carthaginian cemeteries in Sardinia in the form of engraved sheets, assumed to have been used in boxes for precious items, and in urns as the coverings of a number of “nuraghi” – cone-shaped monuments. In some Egyptian sarcophagi, amphorae with cork lids for storage of foodstuffs were also found. • In modern times, in Greece, amphorae containing wine and sealed with cork, dating back to the 5th century BC, have been found. • In Italy remains dating from the 4th century BC have been found vestiges that include artefacts such as floats, stoppers for casks, women's footwear and roofing materials. Also dating from that period is one of the first references to the cork oak, by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus who, in his botanical treatises, referred in wonder to “the ability that this tree has to renew its bark after it has been removed”.

  • Le Monde Cabernet Franc 2018
    Le Monde Cabernet Franc 2018 Region The Alpine foothills of Friuli Venezia Giulia on the Italian boarder with Slovenia, cover a variety of altitudes and microlimates. Crisp, well defined varietal white wines and fresh, fruit oriented reds are produced from many well known and localised varieties. Pinot Grigio attains depth and character grown in this cool climate, Merlot has balance and a backbone of acidity, whilst Picolit, Tocai Friulano and Refosco are distinct regional specialities. Producer Le Monde is a historical winery founded in 1970 in the sleepy village of the same name. With its 45 hectares of vineyards, it represents one of the reference producers in the territory known as Grave del Friuli. It was taken over in 2008 by the Maccan family, and the winery was subsequently entrusted to the management of the young and enthusiastic Alex, who restored the 18th century historical villa and designed the image of the new vinification cellar and winery. Today Le Monde can be considered a new generation winery not only from a technological point of view but also with regards to its innovative way of interpreting wine, where tradition finds the right combination with modernity and design elegance. The wines are highly rated, achieving the top rating in the Italian wine bible ‘Gambero Rosso’.Vignetti Le Monde is considered a `cru` since, unlike the other areas falling under the registered DO, it is characterised by calcerous clay soils which adds to the richness and longevity of the wine. Tasting Notes This Friulian Cabernet Franc is an intense ruby red in colour with a rich bouquet of black cherries and a subtle herbal note.

  • Pine Resin Sector in Portugal – Weaknesses and Challenges
    FORESTRY IDEAS, 2012, vol. 18, No 1 (43): 10–18 PINE RESIN SECTOR IN PORTUGAL – WEAKNESSES AND CHALLENGES Amélia Palma*, Miguel Pestana**, and Anamaria Azevedo*** INRB – Instituto Nacional de Recursos Biológicos (L–INIA) Av. da República, Quinta do Marquês 2780–159 Oeiras, Portugal, *E-mail: [email protected]; **E-mail: [email protected]; ***E-mail: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2010 Accepted: 27 February 2012 Abstract In the past, Portugal was an important producer and exporter of crude resin (pine oleoresin) obtained from living trees. The main species used as a source of Portuguese naval stores until today is Pinus pinaster Ait., one of the most productive resin species. With the increase of labour costs in the forest, the international market competition from China and Brazil and the occurrence of severe forest fires, the importance of both resin yield and industry has sharply diminished. Despite of the decrease of Pinus pinaster area in last decades, this species still holds an impor- tant position in Portuguese forest – 885,019 ha, according to the last National Forest Inventory (NFI). In European Union (EU), Portugal remains one of the few countries with the capacity to supply and fulfil the special needs of some industries: for instance turpentine for perfumery and rosin for the manufacturing of tyres. In the present paper we estimated the potential yield capacity of the Portuguese maritime pine forest based on the NFI data, and made a summarized SWOT analysis, having in mind the weaknesses and the virtues of the remaining resin economic sector. Key words: gum naval stores, pine resin industry, resin yield, SWOT analysis.

It is important to verify that the wall moisture content does not exceed 4% using a reputable moisture meter. If walls show mold, mildew or visible moisture damage, or if moisture content exceeds recommendations, do not proceed with the installation until the condition has been fully corrected by a qualified professional. SURFACE PREPARATION All surfaces must be clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of any dirt, debris or mildew. Stains such as ink, grease, crayon, or other foreign matter should be spot treated with a stain prevention primer to prevent bleeding through the new material. With all surfaces, and once properly prepared, apply a heavy duty, acrylic or latex primer/sealer. If an oil‐based primer was used, apply an acrylic or latex primer over it before hanging. If the surface does not have a uniform color, use a pigmented primer. ‐ New drywall should be finished to a Level 5 as per the Gypsum Association guidelines (www.gypsum.org).
