Nylon / Plastic Washer FAQs
Nylon washers are used to distribute load, reduce friction, and prevent wear between metal parts. They are electrical and thermal insulators.
Nylon washers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and better at dampening vibrations than metal washers. They are also non-conductive, non-toxic, and non-aging.
Nylon washers are used in a variety of applications, including electrical and thermal insulation, switch housing, and automotive components.
Nylon washers are lighter, non-conductive, corrosion-resistant, and better at dampening vibrations than metal washers.
Nylon washers are resistant to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure. They are also resistant to temperature fluctuations and have a wide service temperature range.
