Metric Nylon Washer Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the most common questions about metric nylon washers.
What are metric nylon washers?
Metric nylon washers are flat washers manufactured from polyamide (nylon) engineering plastic, dimensioned in millimeters for use with metric fasteners. They are lightweight, non-conductive, non-magnetic, and resistant to oils and many chemicals, making them a popular choice for metric fastener assemblies in electronics, automotive, HVAC, and industrial equipment where electrical isolation or surface protection is required.
What are the main applications for metric nylon washers?
Metric nylon washers are used as electrical insulators between metal components, vibration dampeners, noise reducers, and surface protection washers in metric assemblies. Common applications include electronics enclosures, automotive hardware, metric machine screws in consumer products, and any metric fastener application requiring a lightweight, non-conductive washer.
