    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust.
    For Fastener Strength Grade/Class—If you require screws or nuts with a specific fastener strength rating, make sure your washer matches the grade or class.

    Plastic Washers

    All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
    Chemical-Resistant High-Temperature PTFE—The most chemical-resistant plastic washers we offer, these stand up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. Their slippery surface reduces friction between the washer, fastener, and mounting surface to prevent sticking when tightening and loosening. They are also good electrical insulators.

    Fiberglass Washers

    A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, these fiberglass washers have the best strength-to-weight ratio of all our nonmetal washers. Commonly used to distribute pressure under nuts and screws in building frames, they are a great fit when you need something more robust than plastic, but still have to stay within a certain weight limit.

    Extreme-Vibration-Resistant Wedge Lock Washers

    When it's critical to keep bolted assemblies secure, choose these two-piece lock washers with the tightest grip of all. They stop nuts and screws from loosening in heavy machinery that experiences jarring starts and stops, such as compressors and compactors. Serrations on the outside bite into the fastener and mating surfaces, while wedges on the inside lock the two pieces together. When the nut or screw starts to loosen, the wedges drive more tightly together to maintain tension. You can reuse these washers up to fifteen times, as long as the serrations and wedges are not worn down. They are comparable to NORD-LOCK® or Sherex TEC® washers.

    Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Super-Corrosion-Resistant Zinc-Flake-Coated Steel—With 40 times the corrosion resistance of zinc-plated steel, these withstand rust as well as 316 stainless steel. They have been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray. They are similar to Magni-coated washers.
