You are here: Products & Services > Plastic Fasteners > Insudiscs Buffalo Insulation Discs ("Insudiscs")
Ideal for situations where the insulating qualities of nylon are needed for an application requiring the use of metal fastenings.
The Insudisc base offers strong support for ceiling and wall panels, having the same o/d as our standard load spreading washers, and the recess for the metal nut and washer will allow the use of insulating mastic if required.
The whole assembly is finished off with a plug, giving a neat, hygienic and clean finish.
Material
Manufactured from white nylon, one of the strongest grades of engineering plastic.
Sizes
The base is available with three different sizes of hole, to suit M8, M10 and M12
