Nylon Washers Special

Nylon Washers, Other Plastic Washers

Non-metal Washers can be used in different applications due to the following key reasons:

They are durable; these washers can outlast metal washers in a number of applications. This guarantees long-term cost savings, as you won’t need to replace the washers regularly.

Better absorption properties; numerous engineering applications are associated with both noise and vibration. They excel in both noise and shock absorption.

Resistance to chemicals- Some materials are not affected by most chemicals; thus, they neither rust nor corrode when exposed to harsh chemicals. They are designed with protective layers that protect them from abrasion.

Surface friction: they have a low surface friction; thus, they do not deteriorate easily. They can be used in applications where surfaces tend to rub against each other.

Forming seals – they can compress under pressure, making them a perfect choice for applications where tight seals are required.

Insulation – they are excellent insulators, which has been one of the primary reasons they are used in electrical and electronic components. They are used to install components in areas with sensitive temperature requirements.

Lightweight – they can be used to replace metal washers, reducing overall weight.

The most common Standard is Nylon PA 66 (which is available in Natural or Black Moulded for enhanced UV Resistance). For increased strength, 30% Glass Filled Nylon – Black, also available (on request).
