Fibre Flat Washers are made from vulcanized sheets. Fibre Flat Washers are used for electrical and mechanical applications. Fibre Flat Washers are usually made in black fibre but can be produced inother colors such as red, gray and white.
Celcon Flat Washers are made from Celcon plastic, which has industrial and automotive applications. Celcon acetal copolymer applications include gears, cams, bushings, clips, lugs, door handles, window cranks, housings, Celcon Flat Washers and seat-belt components. Valves, valve stems, pumps, faucets, and impellers utilize the lubricity and corrosion and hot-water resistance of the copolymer. Plumbing applications seem to be a natural fit for Celcon Flat Washers. Celcon can be used in mechanical components requiring dimensional stability, such as watch gears, Celcon Flat Washers, conveyor links, aerosols, and mechanical pen and pencil parts.
Delrin, used in the making of Delrin Flat Washers, is the brand name for an acetal resin engineering polymer by DuPont. Often used as a metal substitute, Delrin is a lightweight, low friction, and wear resistant plastic capable of operating in 200 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Delrin Flat Washers are made from thermoplastics routinely used for injection molded parts. Acetals are available in a variety of sizes in rods, bars and plates for those parts machined or made into Delrin Flat Washers.
Felt Flat Washers are made from felt, a non-woven cloth produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers. The fibers form the structure of the fabric for Felt Flat Washers. Unlike metal washers, felt has certain capabilities that make it more suited to certain applications. It is lightweight, has an ability to cushion, retains its ability to withstand long term pressure, can seal out dust, lubrication materials, and other materials, make it the perfect choice for many gasketing and washer type applications.
Kapton Flat Washers are made from Kapton®, a polyimide film possessing a combination of properties ideal for applications in different industries. The ability of Kapton® to maintain physical, electrical, and mechanical properties over a wide temperature range has opened design and application areas to plastic films and makes it perfect for manufacturing Kapton Flat Washers. Kapton® does not melt or burn as it has the highest UL-94 flammability rating. The properties of Kapton® permit Kapton Flat Washers to be used at high and low temperature extremes where other organic polymeric materials would not function. Kapton® polyimide film can be used in electrical and electronic insulation applications.
Mica Flat Washers are made from mica, a large group of minerals made up of hydrous silicates of aluminum and potassium, containing magnesium, ferrous iron, ferric iron, sodium, and lithium and rarely containing barium, chromium, and fluorine. These materials crystallize in the monoclinic system, but mica is commonly found in scales and sheets. All the micas have an excellent basal cleavage, splitting into thin, elastic laminae. Some varieties are transparent and resistance to heat is high.
Mylar Flat Washers are made from Mylar, a trade name for biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) polyester film. The Mylar used in Mylar Flat Washers has high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, and electrical insulation. Mylar Flat Washers can be aluminized by sputtering a thin film of metal onto them. The result is less permeable to gasses and reflects up to 99% of light, including much of the infrared spectrum. Like aluminum foil, aluminized Mylar has a shiny reflective side and a dull side.
Neoprene Flat Washers are named for Neoprene, a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. Neoprene is used in wetsuits, for electrical insulation, car fan belts, and, due to its chemical inertness, in industrial applications such as Neoprene Flat Washers. Neoprene Flat Washers are resistant to oils and aging and used in waterproof products. Neoprene polychloroprene is a versatile synthetic rubber with 70 years of proven performance. Neoprene Flat Washers resist degradation from sun, ozone and weather, performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals, remain useful over a wide temperature range, and display physical toughness.
Nylon Flat Washers are made from nylon, a synthetic polymer invented by DuPont. Nylon fibers are used to make synthetic fabrics and solid nylon is used as an engineering material, such as making Nylon Flat Washers. The nylon used in Nylon Flat Washers is a condensation polymer made of repeating units with amide linkages between them. It was the first synthetic fiber to be made entirely from inorganic ingredients. This construction is why Nylon Flat Washers are sturdy. .
