Non-Asbestos Fibre Washers
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets, we craft a multitude of washers, including specialized non-asbestos fiber variants. Non-asbestos fiber washers are crucial, as they've been developed to replace hazardous asbestos materials, which are illegal and unsafe. These washers are manufactured in-house, utilizing customer-provided measurements and drawings, ensuring precision and satisfaction. Our state-of-the-art equipment handles washers of varying sizes and quantities, from single prototypes to large batch orders. Washers are highly sought-after in various industries, serving functions such as sealing against dust, air, and moisture, bridging gaps between uneven surfaces, and dampening noise and vibrations. Non-asbestos fiber washers excel in environments with extreme heat, water, petrol, and natural gases.
What are Non-Asbestos Fibre Washers?
Non-asbestos fiber, or CNAF (compressed non-asbestos fiber), is among several fiber jointing materials at our disposal for washer production. These washers are flat rings with outer and inner diameter measurements. They're cut from sheets and serve as spacers or seals between surfaces or to distribute pressure when used with bolts. Non-asbestos materials comprise fibers and carbon bonded with a polymer to cater to various applications. They're available in sheet form, and washers are crafted with thicknesses from 0.25mm to 4mm.

Washers
Washers can be used as a gap filler, dust/air/water seal, cushion or spacer. We manufacture washers using an extensive range of other materials including neoprene, silicone, solid rubber, sponge, plastics, polyethylene, PVC, Polyester, cork, textiles and many more, using specialist presses and CNC machinery.
Why use Non-Asbestos Fibre Washers?
Non-asbestos fiber is meticulously engineered to not merely supplant the original 'Asbestos' material but to supersede it with myriad commendable attributes. This versatile material comes in various formulations, each meticulously tailored to bestow specific properties well-suited for a diverse spectrum of applications.
It exhibits remarkable adaptability by combining with nitrile, endowing it with exceptional fuel and oil resistance. When blended with EPDM, it metamorphoses into a potable water-safe product. Likewise, when infused with PTFE, it attains chemical resistance. Additionally, it can be equipped with a graphite coating to acquire steam and non-stick resistance.
Non-asbestos fiber washers predominantly find their niche in high-pressure environments such as compression chambers, air compressors, and marine settings. They are crucial components in the automotive sector, including diesel engines. Furthermore, they play an instrumental role in the oil, gas, chemical, and fuel processing industries, showcasing their exceptional versatility and reliability.
Benefits of Non-Asbestos Fibre Washers
- Water/steam resistance (selected grades)
- Chemical Resistant
- Fuel Resistant
