Natural Rubber Washers
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we are a trusted UK manufacturer and supplier of solid natural rubber washers and other precision-cut rubber components. We carry extensive stocks of solid natural rubber and perform all conversions in-house, ensuring full quality control and consistent product performance.
Solid natural rubber is made from naturally occurring latex and is valued for its exceptional strength, tear resistance, and shock absorption. These characteristics make it a versatile choice for industrial, engineering, and manufacturing applications. Our natural rubber washers can be supplied plain or fitted with self-adhesive backing to suit your installation needs.
Whether you require a single prototype or a large-scale production run, our team provides a fully bespoke service, collaborating with customers throughout the process. Using advanced machinery such as atom presses, kiss-cutting systems, and CNC oscillating knives, we deliver precise, high-quality components with short lead times and competitive pricing.
In addition to washers, we also manufacture natural rubber in a wide range of forms, including: (keep the links for the below the same)
- Rolls
- Seals

What is Solid Natural Rubber?
Natural rubber is produced from latex — a milky liquid extracted from rubber trees — and processed into a strong, waterproof, and highly elastic material. It offers excellent tensile strength, elasticity, and resilience, making it suitable for applications requiring flexibility and wear resistance.
Our solid natural rubber is supplied in roll form, 1.4 metres wide and 10 metres long, with thicknesses starting from 0.5mm. It is available in various shore hardness grades to meet different performance needs. Thanks to its outstanding abrasion resistance and tensile strength, it is ideal for manufacturing wear strips, chute liners, seals, and gaskets used in demanding industrial settings.
Why Use Solid Natural Rubber Washers?
Washers made from solid natural rubber are widely used to seal joints, absorb vibrations, and distribute pressure between surfaces such as bolts, nuts, and fastenings. The material’s natural flexibility and shock-absorbing properties make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Common uses include:
- Conveyor systems and machinery components
- Outdoor sealing (e.g., door and window gaskets)
- Automotive applications such as pumps, flanges, and hydraulic systems
Natural rubber washers offer excellent tensile strength, water resistance, and impact absorption, making them ideal for high-use environments where reliability and performance are essential.
Different Grades of Solid Natural Rubber Washers
BS1154 Natural Rubber Washers – A high-grade natural rubber with exceptional tensile strength and non-abrasive properties. Available in black or white, it’s commonly used in the food and beverage, packaging, and manufacturing sectors.
Tan Shot Blast Rubber Washers – Designed for heavy-duty applications, this premium-grade rubber provides outstanding abrasion resistance, making it ideal for scraper blades, chute linings, and high-impact environments.
Abrasion-Resistant Natural Rubber Washers – Formulated for maximum wear resistance, this variant combines high elasticity with durability under compression. Available in black, red, or white, it is suitable for low-compression sealing and impact protection.
Benefits of Using Solid Natural Rubber Washers
- Exceptional strength and durability
- Excellent impact and shock absorption
- Water-resistant and heat-tolerant properties
- Effective vibration dampening
- Superior tensile and tear resistance
- Available in a wide range of hardnesses and thicknesses
Advantages of Using Solid Natural Rubber Washers
Solid natural rubber washers deliver reliable performance across multiple industries due to their balance of flexibility, resilience, and toughness. Their waterproof and heat-resistant properties make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, while their shock and vibration control qualities help protect machinery and structural components.
Because of these versatile properties, natural rubber is widely used across sectors, including:
- Automotive and transportation
- Electronics and machinery
- Construction and engineering
- Sports, medical, and leisure equipment
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, our team can manufacture natural rubber washers in any size, quantity, or specification, providing reliable sealing and cushioning solutions tailored to your project’s requirements.
