Gaskets and Washers

Due to UHMW's incredible abrasion resistance and durability, many companies are now looking at UHMW to replace Teflon or nylon in washer and gasket applications. In industries, such as automotive, appliances and computers, advantages include:

A low coefficient of friction
Noise abatement
Excellent impact strength and durability, even in freezing temperatures
Ease of die cutting

UHMW is available in virtually any color to help blend in esthetically or assist in color coding and in many cases is a lower cost alternative to Nylon and Teflon.
