Rubber flat washer
Our rubber flat washers are perfectly capable of sealing components and applications. The use of our products stems from the need to seal off screws, bolts, and nuts. We do this to protect the application from any sort of damage. Our rubber flat washers are flexible enough to be used in many applications. While these products do offer other forms of resistance, such as chemical resistance, vibration, and water, the main purpose is to protect the application from getting in contact with screws, bolts, and nuts.
You will see our products mostly being used with fragile materials such as glass. Glass can easily break under pressure, making our rubber flat washers even more important when needing to screw glass onto a surface such as a cabinet. In that case, the rubber flat washer is added to the screw, between the screw and glass. This means the head of the screw, nut, or bolt won’t get into contact with the glass surface.
Our products are also made from a rubber material that can withstand all forms of vibration. Rubber has excellent anti-vibration properties, making rubber flat washers the ideal product to use when needing to protect against vibration. This is why many of our clients work in the oil, gas, and automotive industries.
In addition to all that, the choice of rubber is also important. That’s why we offer clients rubber flat washers made from the best types of rubber that include neoprene, silicone, EPDM, and more. The capabilities of our products do more than stop vibration or protect surfaces. Rubber is excellent for preventing chemical damage, heat damage, and more. In addition, our products meet all safety criteria. Make sure to get in contact with us regarding any questions you might have. We can also help you pick the right type of material and size.
Product specifications
- Product form
- Rubber washer at a clamped joint
