Why Choose Aluminum Sealing & Cushioning Washers?
Our aluminum sealing & cushioning washers at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com are designed for lightweight, leak-proof fastening in applications requiring corrosion resistance and vibration dampening. Also known as aluminum bonded sealing washers, these washers feature a neoprene layer bonded to a lightweight aluminum backing, offering corrosion resistance ideal for non-marine outdoor environments. The neoprene creates a tight seal to prevent water and air leaks while cushioning fragile surfaces and reducing noise and vibration. Compatible with bolts and screws in imperial sizes like #8, #10, 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8", they’re perfect for secure, lightweight assemblies.
- Lightweight Construction: Aluminum reduces weight in assemblies.
- Corrosion Resistance: Withstands rust in non-marine outdoor settings.
- Leak-Proof Seal: Neoprene bonding prevents water and air infiltration.
- Cushioning: Protects fragile surfaces and dampens vibration.
Applications for Aluminum Sealing & Cushioning Washers
Aluminum bonded sealing washers are tailored for projects requiring lightweight, corrosion-resistant sealing and cushioning in outdoor or high-vibration environments. Their versatility makes them suitable for:
- Roofing and siding installations
- HVAC and plumbing assemblies
- Electronics and circuit board mounting
- Automotive components requiring lightweight fasteners
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Aluminum sealing & cushioning washers are lightweight, neoprene-bonded washers with a corrosion-resistant aluminum backing, designed to seal against leaks, cushion fragile surfaces, and dampen vibration in bolted assemblies.
Are aluminum sealing & cushioning washers suitable for marine environments?These washers offer corrosion resistance for non-marine outdoor settings. For marine or highly corrosive environments, 316 stainless steel washers are recommended for superior durability.
