Description
Plastic washers are a type of washer made from various plastic materials. They serve the same basic function as other washers – to distribute the load of a screw or fastener and to prevent damage to surfaces, specifically when a nut or bolt is tightened.
However, plastic washers have certain properties that make them suitable for specific applications. They are resistant to corrosion, chemical reactions, and electrical conductivity, which makes them ideal for use in environments where these factors can be problematic.
For example, they are often used in electrical insulation applicatons due to their non-conductive nature. Also, in corrosive environments or where chemical exposure can occur, plastic washers offer a durable solution that won’t degrade.
The type of plastic used can vary depending on the specific needs of the application. Common plastics used include nylon, PTFE (Teflon), PVC, polyethylene, and others. Each of these materials offers unique benefits, such as high heat resistance, resilience, or flexibility, and the choice of materials depends on the specific application.
Just like metal washers, plastic washers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can also be custom made to suit specific requirements.
