Nylon Washer

Nylon washers possess all the beneficial properties inherent to the base material. The main one is high resistance to friction. Nylon is resistant to weak solutions of acids, salts and alkalis. It does not react with most organic solvents.

Thanks to their antifriction properties, nylon washers are widely used in fastening joints of rotating assemblies without lubrication or with only a small amount of it. Nylon gaskets are used in industrial production and many other sectors. They have become an integral part of most instruments and automatic devices.

When selecting nylon washers, it should be taken into account that these products are subject to thermo-oxidative degradation. As the ambient temperature rises above 100°C, the strength characteristics of the product decrease significantly. Under the action of ultraviolet rays, the degradation process occurs faster. In the absence of adverse factors, a nylon washer reduces wear of mating parts and extends the service life of the assembly as a whole.
