Non-Metallic Washers — Materials, Types & Applications
We supply non-metallic washers in a comprehensive range of polymer and engineered plastic materials, each selected for specific performance characteristics. Whether you require chemical inertness, electrical insulation, high-temperature stability, or simple corrosion resistance, we have the right material for your application.
PTFE (Teflon) Properties: Chemical resistant, low friction, high-temperature rated. Typical applications: Chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food & beverage.
Nylon (PA66) Properties: Lightweight, electrically insulating, corrosion-proof. Typical applications: Electronics, automotive, general engineering.
Vulcanised Fibre Properties: Tough, oil-resistant, cost-effective. Typical applications: Hydraulics, mechanical assemblies.
PEEK Properties: Ultra-high temperature and pressure performance. Typical applications: Aerospace, subsea, heavy industrial.
Acetal (Delrin) Properties: High stiffness, low moisture absorption. Typical applications: Precision engineering, food machinery.
Polypropylene Properties: Lightweight, acid and alkali resistant. Typical applications: Water treatment, chemical tanks, marine.
Washer types available:
- Flat / plain washers — load distribution and sealing
- Shoulder washers — electrical insulation of fasteners in assemblies
- Spring washers — vibration and thermal expansion applications
- Lock washers — preventing loosening in high-vibration environments
- C-washers — quick installation in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
- Custom profile washers — any shape, to your drawing or DXF file
Standard metric and imperial sizes are available. Custom OD, ID, and thickness available — simply provide your drawing or dimensions and we will quote accordingly.

Why Engineers Choose Flowwell Components
When you need non-metallic washers that perform in the real world, not just on a datasheet, specification matters. Here is what sets Flowwell Components apart from standard catalogue suppliers.
Precision Supply — Every washer is supplied to consistent dimensional and material standards. We work to your specification, not ours.
Reliable Despatch — Stocked lines available for fast despatch. Custom orders quoted within 24 hours with clear lead time confirmation.
Full Customisation — Any outside diameter, inside diameter, or thickness. Prototype quantities and large production runs both welcome.
Global Experience — Supplying customers across multiple continents. We understand the demands of international procurement and export logistics.
Trusted Across Critical Industries
Non-metallic washers are used wherever metal would corrode, conduct, contaminate, or add unnecessary weight. Flowwell Components supplies engineers and procurement teams operating in:
- Oil & Gas — high-pressure and chemically aggressive environments
- Automotive — body, brake, transmission, and engine assemblies
- Aerospace — lightweight insulating components and flight-critical systems
- Chemical Processing — highly corrosive media requiring PTFE and PEEK solutions
- Food & Beverage — FDA-compliant, hygienic, non-reactive materials
- Pharmaceutical — sterile environments requiring non-contaminating components
- Electronics — electrical insulation, lightweight, precision tolerance
- Marine — saltwater resistant, non-corroding below-deck applications
- General Engineering — standard stock for MRO and maintenance applications
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are available for non-metallic washers? Flowwell Components supplies washers in PTFE, Nylon (PA66), Vulcanised Fibre, PEEK, Acetal, Polypropylene, and more. If you need a specific material not listed, contact our team — we source to spec.
Can you manufacture washers to a custom size or drawing? Yes. We produce custom non-metallic washers to your exact OD, ID, and thickness requirements. Simply provide your drawing, DXF file, or dimensions and we will quote accordingly.
What temperature range can PTFE washers withstand? PTFE washers are rated for continuous use from -200°C up to +260°C, making them ideal for both cryogenic and high-temperature industrial applications.
What is the minimum order quantity? We cater to both small prototype runs and high-volume production orders. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements — there is no unreasonable minimum.
How quickly can I receive my order? Standard stocked washers are typically available for next-day or same-week despatch. Lead times for custom manufactured washers vary by complexity — request a quote for an accurate timeline.
Do you supply to international customers? Yes. Flowwell Components ships to customers across multiple continents. Contact us for international shipping options and lead times.
