Product Information

For a number of years, metal served as the default material for washers. However, the introduction of durable and reliable plastics, such as Teflon, has led to the acceptance of plastics as a suitable alternative. Electrically isolating mounting screws. As Teflon doesn’t conduct electricity as easily as metal or plastics such as nylon, it is ideal for introducing electrical resistance. 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 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. 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.

At New Process Fibre, we maintain over 10,000 dies ranging from .080–10 inches in our in-house manufacturing facility. Combined with our custom tooling capabilities, this quality allows us to produce Teflon washers in virtually any size to meet a customer’s needs.Advanced Seals and Gaskets Ltd uses years of experience and globally sourced materials to produce our vast catalogue of Seals and Gaskets along with associated foam and rubber products. Our Cellular Sponge Rubber range is vast and varied with differences in density, grade, quality etc which can all be tailored towards a particular application. Manufacturers employ a few different methods to produce Teflon washers. Two of the most common manufacturing methods are compression molding and machining. 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 can be used across a wide variety of industries and applications but it is important you only use washers made from suitable material. The best washer material to use will depend on the application you require it for, and here at Stephens Gaskets we strive to accommodate as many different applications as we can. From stainless steel, rubber and plastic through to cork, brass and aluminium, we have a wide range of washer material to choose from. Our washer materials are all incredibly versatile in their uses and applications, and one of our most popular choices is our PTFE washers. We can provide the washers in a range of pre-cut sizes, but if you are looking for something more specific, our bespoke service can create custom PTFE washers UK made to your exact required measurements. PTFE washers: UK Made Teflon is hydrophobic, meaning it resists mixing with water. Compared to nylon, it has a higher melting and better chemical resistance. These qualities make it suitable for equipment systems regularly exposed to moisture or requiring significant amounts of lubrication.

Thermal insulating washers are made out of a material called PTFE. PTFE is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, a high-molecular-weight compound consisting of carbon and fluorine — and is one of the most commonly used artificial substances in the world. 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. Ask a member of our sales team for more information. Data sheets can be supplied free of charge upon request. Greater precision and accuracy. The process is suitable for producing identical parts in high volumes from batch to batch.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.
