| The majority
of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) want to improve the service
life and accuracy of their product with custom designed and manufactured
rubber washers. Many prefer to use rubber materials for their washers
because of rubber's innate flexibility, pliability, and conformability.
A leading gasket manufacturing company, Atlantic Gasket Corporation,
stocks a wide variety of rubber grades from which we can produce
custom rubber die cut washers that precisely match customer's application
requirements.
We work with elastomer suppliers
to manufacture washers of the highest quality rubber materials.
Most rubber grades are available as thin as .016" thk. to .250"
thk. and come in a measure of hardness (durometer) as soft as 30
duro. and as hard as 90 duro. We provide materials in continuous
rolls or cut-to-size for your specific applications. For more information
on the many advantages and disadvantages of various rubber elastomers,
please view our comparative elastomer
chart. With the aid of this chart you can compare elastomers
and determine which material is best suited for your application.

rubber grades.
Atlantic Gasket can produce
rubber washers in the following types
of materials:
Silicone
Rubber provides excellent properties for both hot and cold temperature
extremes. Additionally, silicone rubber takes a low compression
set and is resistant to ozone, UV, and fungus.
EPDM
Rubber has excellent color stability, heat resistance, as well
as dielectric qualities, and provides excellent protection from
electricity, ozone, and sunlight degradation.
Neoprene
Rubber provides good oil and petroleum base solvent resistance,
as well as good weathering and ozone resistance.
Viton®
Rubber features excellent resistance to heat, oil, and a broad
range of concentrated acids.
Nitrile
Rubber has superior elongation properties as well as compression
set properties and is highly resistant to petroleum oils, aromatic
hydrocarbons, and many acids.
Butyl Rubber has low gas permeability,
excellent weathering properties, as well as high dielectric strengths
and resists heat, acids, and alkali.
Hypalon Rubber provides excellent
resistance to ozone and sunlight aging.
Want a custom-made rubber washer to insulate screws
from surfaces or to prevent galvanic corrosion? Need custom-designed
rubber washers to help relieve friction, distribute pressure, or
prevent loosening? No matter what environment or application, Atlantic
Gasket can custom design and produce rubber washers to your exact
specifications. Simply tell us the application requirement and we'll

request, we can fabricate your rubber washers with an adhesive backing
that can significantly increase efficiency in the assembly process
for a quick turnaround. At Atlantic Gasket, we design and produce
both rubber washers and rubber
gaskets to provide manufacturers, engineers, and distributors
with everything they want or need to develop consistent high quality
products or systems.
