Product Information

Its rust resistance allows washers made from it to withstand moisture from car fluids and the environment. Compared to metal, nylon and Teflon offer greater application versatility and durability when used in the manufacture of washers. While both are synthetic polymer materials with excellent mechanical strength and frictional resistance, they vary in regard to best use cases due to the differences in their manufacture and, consequently, their physical and chemical characteristics. For example: Greater precision and accuracy. The process is suitable for producing identical parts in high volumes from batch to batch.

In contrast to our competitors who use reprocessed material for their washers, at New Process Fibre we use the highest quality virgin Teflon resin available on the market to manufacture our Teflon washers. Flat washers are used to distribute the load of a fastener, such as a bolt or screw, over a larger area. They can also be used to provide a smooth surface for the fastener to bear against, or to prevent damage to the material being fastened. Flat washers are usually placed between the fastener head and the material being fastened, and are often used in conjunction with nuts or other types of fasteners. For over nine decades, New Process Fibre has provided customers with high-quality and innovative non-metallic solutions, including Teflon washers. Our Teflon washers find application in a wide range of industries—including automotive, HVAC, and plumbing—providing durable and reliable performance even when exposed to water, oil, chemicals, and high heat. Absolutely! As a leading PTFE washer UK supplier we have state of the art, automated machinery allowing us to produce custom PTFE washers for our customers. Can you cut PTFE Washers to squares?

PTFE can be divided into two main styles. Virgin PTFE, which is fairly hard, like plastic, however it will still compress to make a seal between two faces. Expanded PTFE is more like a sponge, making it ideal for sealing damaged, glass or plastic flanges because it compresses more easily than the Virgin grade.

Teflon™ PTFE products are commonly found in a number of different applications and are particularly popular because of their unique set of properties, which includes resistance to both water and oil, and an extremely low coefficient of friction. Moreover, the material’s heat and chemical resistance coupled with its fairly high strength makes it both durable and dependable.Teflon washers find application in virtually every industry, including in the following: Automotive Industry professionals in the plumbing industry generally turn to non-metallic washers for their operations due to the near-constant exposure of equipment and systems to water and other fluids. Non-metallic washers offer greater resistance to water-related issues such as corrosion. Additionally, Teflon’s near-complete resistance to water and oil and temperatures up to 600° F allow it to retain its form and integrity even when exposed to excessive moisture and high heat. PTFE washers and PTFE gaskets can be supplied not only in its virgin state, but also with carbon and/or glass inserted into it leaving the finished product more durable and able to withstand even higher temperatures.

As Teflon doesn’t conduct electricity as easily as metal or plastics such as nylon, it is ideal for introducing electrical resistance. We manufacture PTFE Gaskets from our complete range of Polytetrafluoroethlyene (PTFE) materials. Commonly referred to as Teflon (The well known brand name of The Chemours Company), PTFE has outstanding resistance to chemicals, a wide temperature range, withstanding (–200° C to +260° C) and excellent dielectric properties.

The compression molding process employs a compression mold and press to stamp washers from Teflon material. Compared to other manufacturing processes, such as injection molding, compression molding offers several advantages, including: Our flat washers are manufactured to exceptionally high standards and compliant with DIN 125 specification. These can also be used in combination with an array of different material fasteners depending on your application. Available in sizes M3- M12. Thermal insulating washers are found in nearly every industry, including aerospace, automotive, heating and cooling, plumbing, appliances, the list goes on. And thanks to its many unique characteristics, it’s also a popular choice for washers and spacers. Its texture allows other components and parts to glide over them easily and being thermal but remaining non-conductive, also makes them a popular choice for use in circuit boards. Better cost-effectiveness. Compared to the injection molding process, which requires new molds for each part, the compression molding process only requires adjustments to the punch press to accommodate product changes. This quality helps lower overall tooling costs.Teflon™ is an outstanding thermal insulator and the most chemically resistant plastic available today. In fact, it is one of the only known materials that is completely impervious to damage from almost all corrosive fluids. A washer is a small circular component that is specifically designed to improve the seal, alignment or space between two other parts inside a device. When there are gaps or loose fitting components inside machinery, there is a risk of movement that can then lead to friction damage. If movement continues to occur between poorly fitted parts, the inside of the machinery could suffer from long-term damage that could jeopardise its safety and performance. By fitting a washer in place of any gaps, you create a tighter fitting alignment, therefore preventing unnecessary movement. Washers are available in a variety of different materials to suit varying environmental and operating conditions. Although many industry professionals employ metallic washers, non-metallic washers, such as those made from nylon or PTFE, are becoming increasingly popular. In particular, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)—also known by the brand name Teflon™—offers several advantages when used for the manufacture of washers, including: When designing and assembling automobiles, manufacturers must balance competing needs. For example, they need to reduce car weight to minimize emissions and improve fuel efficiency but also incorporate non-critical parts to increase durability, longevity, and operator safety. Teflon washers enable them to fulfill both requirements; the lighter material allows them to satisfy all washer functions without adding significantly to the total weight of the car. After all, a washer is a piece of precision engineering. Therefore, having the right measurements can be the difference between a perfect seal and a leaky joint. Can you cut PTFE Washers to length?

Manufacturers employ a few different methods to produce Teflon washers. Two of the most common manufacturing methods are compression molding and machining.As one of the largest gasket cutters in the United Kingdom, we make and supply PTFE gaskets in a broad range of different variants including, etched and filled grades. When used for automobile coatings, it creates a high-gloss layer that protects cars from rust and minor wear.
