- Xpür
All Xpür® and Qork® stoppers now incorporate the world's most ecological and efficient anti-TCA technology for micro granulated cork stoppers.
Amorim Cork's R&D department, in partnership with leading experts in the field, has developed Xpür® technology, based on the application of supercritical fluids. This innovative 21st century solution is recognised as the world's most ecological and efficient anti-TCA technology for micro granulated cork stoppers. The Xpür® process makes it possible to remove TCA from cork in a highly effective way, using less energy, which has a positive impact on the sustainability of the planet.
This method also removes other molecules that can cause sensory deviations, without compromising the natural characteristics of cork. At a molecular level, cork's elastic and physical-mechanical features remain intact, without the need to use artificial components.
Augmented Neutrality
Xpür® is Amorim's latest generation technical cork stopper, which guarantees great structural stability for a perfect performance. Composed of 80% cork microgranules, this stopper ensures superior performance.
The microgranules, which are uniform in size and highly elastic, are compacted in individual moulds, providing consistent quality cork stoppers.
Nature's Technicality
Containing a minimum of 80% natural cork granules enveloped by a binding agent with 100% vegetable polyols, Qork® is the world’s most sustainable and advanced micro granulated cork stopper. Featuring Xpür®, the innovative, 21st Century supercritical fluid technology, Qork® allows for a robust and even deeper cleansing of cork’s cellular structure, delivering non-detectable TCA performance and eliminating other volatile compounds that could trigger sensory deviations, while keeping the natural characteristics of cork intact.
