THE PURPOSE OF WASHERS & WHY THEY’RE USED WITH FASTENERS

A washer is a mechanical component that consists of a circular flattened metal, plastic, or rubber disk with a hole through the middle. Washers are typically used with fasteners such as screws and bolts to distribute the load of the fastener, prevent damage to sensitive surface materials, and reduce the potential f... Read more...

Seeloc^® Washers work in combination with traditional bolts, screws, or studs to create an airtight seal around the fastener. The silicone contact surface features a continuous ridge that creates a 360° sealing barrier around the periphery of the washer face when compressed. The silicone rubber also forms a seal under the head of the associated fastener and makes full v... Read more...

Sealing fasteners are hardware devices (e.g., sealing bolts, sealing screws, and sealing nuts) used to mechanically join two or more components together. They also form seals at the fastening point that prevent unwanted ingress or egress of materials.

Seeloc® Washers work with traditional screws or bolts to create an airtight seal around the fastener. The silicone contact surface creates a 360° sealing barrier around the washer face when it's compressed. The silicone also forms a seal under the head of the fastener, making for a complete, high pressure seal.
