Bonded and Rubber Washer
Bonded Washers · Rubber Washers
Composite sealing washers — metal outer washer bonded (vulcanized) with an EPDM, Neoprene, or NBR elastomer ring, creating a self-sealing fastener interface. Also pure rubber washers for cushioning, vibration isolation, and non-bonded sealing.
Complementary to the Washer and Spring product range. Used where a standard fastener joint must provide water-tight, weather-resistant, or chemical-resistant sealing — automotive body panels, HVAC duct penetrations, industrial sheet-metal roofing, and outdoor enclosure hardware.
