Vulcanized fibre washers offer numerous advantages in assembly and technical applications. They act as electrical and thermal insulators, protect sensitive surfaces from scratches and pressure marks, and help to reduce vibrations and noise. With their low weight and high stability, they are an efficient and economical alternative to washers made of plastic or metal.
Made from high-quality vulcanized fibre, a cellulose-based composite material, these washers combine high strength and dimensional stability with a low weight. They are temperature-resistant up to approximately 120 °C, electrically non-conductive, and therefore ideal for use as insulating components. In addition, they are resistant to oils, greases, and many solvents. Vulcanized fibre washers are available in various sizes and colours, offering great versatility for different applications.
Vulcanized fibre washers are used wherever delicate surfaces need protection, electrical components require insulation, or vibrations must be dampened. They are commonly applied in mechanical and equipment engineering, electrical engineering, model making, as well as in the furniture and plastics industries. Especially in assembly work that demands precision, lightweight materials, and surface protection, they provide a reliable and functional solution.
