Superior Washer offers many types of washers including Nylatron Flat Washers, Phenolic Flat Washers, Polyethylene Flat Washers, Polypropylene Flat Washers, Special Flat Washers, Teflon Flat Washers, Viton Flat Washers. Browse our catalog to find out more.
Nylatron Flat Washers are made from Nylatron. The addition of MoS2 renders this material somewhat stiffer, harder and more stable than Ertalon 66 SA, but results in impact strength loss. The nucleating effect of the molybdenum disulphide results into an improved crystalline structure enhancing bearing and wear properties, making for sturdy Nylatron Flat Washers. Nylatron GSM contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide. This is done without impairing the impact and fatigue resistance inherent to unmodified cast nylon grades, perfect for Nylatron Flat Washers.
Phenolic Flat Washers use chemical compounds consisting of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. The simplest of the class is phenol (C 6 H 5 OH). Superior Washer offers to you Phenolic Flat Washers. They have relatively higher acidities due to the aromatic ring tightly coupling with oxygen and a loose bond between the oxygen and hydrogen. Phenolic Flat Washers are made from phenolic materials. It is used to support the load of a threaded fastener. Other Phenolic Flat Washers uses are as a spacer, spring, wear pad, pre-load indicating device, and locking device. Phenolic Flat Washers has many uses because of its strength.
Polyethylene Flat Washers are constructed from an engineering thermoplastic used in consumer products. The name of Polyethylene Flat Washers originates from the monomer, ethene, used to create it. Polyethylene Flat Washers are sturdy washers. In the polymer industry, the name is sometimes shortened to PE, so that Polyethylene Flat Washers could be called PE washers. Polyethylene synthesis landmarks have centered around the development of several catalyst types that promote ethylene polymerization at mild temperatures and pressures to produce Polyethylene Flat Washers more readily.
Polypropylene Flat Washers use a thermoplastic polymer. Polypropylene Flat Washers are unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids. Polypropylene, used in Polypropylene Flat Washers, can be manufactured to a high purity degree, making it useful for semiconductors. Polypropylene Flat Washers are resistant to bacterial growth, suitable for medical equipment. Polypropylene can be injection molded or fabricated easily into Polypropylene Flat Washers.
Special Flat Washers are designed to take up the space between bolts and frames, allowing more secure mounting. They also reduce the tension of the bolt depending on the application being used. The surface of Special Flat Washers also helps eliminate slippage and you won't have to make the bolts as tight since the Special Flat Washers grip so much better. This helps to eliminate stripped-out bolts when using the smaller 5/32" Allen wrenches. We have many different types of Special Flat Washers, hence the name "Special." We can custom make them to any size and shape you desire. No matter the size of the Special Flat Washers, we can guarantee that these washers will be just as durable as large washers.
Teflon Flat Washers are made from Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Teflon is also used as the trade name for a polymer with similar properties, perfluoroalkoxy polymer resin (PFA). Teflon Flat Washers have the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. Teflon is very unreactive, leading to use in containers and pipework for reactive chemicals as well as Teflon Flat Washers.
Viton Flat Washers are made from Viton®, a synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer used in o-rings and other moulded or extruded goods. Viton is a trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers LLC. Viton® fluoroelastomers, what Viton Flat Washers are made from, are categorized under the ASTM D1418 and ISO 1629 designation of FKM. This elastomer class is a polymer family comprising copolymers of hexafluoropropylene (HFP) and vinylidene fluoride (VDF or VF2), terpolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) as well as perfluoromethylvinylether (PMVE) containing specialties.
