Product Overview
A thick silicone washer provides a rubber section around an opening or fastener in a matching joint. Where heat is involved, the selection should account for both the silicone formulation and the way the section remains compressed during the service cycle.
Define the operating exposure at the washer, including the period it spends under heat and any contacting fluid. Match the thickness to the available joint space rather than adding extra rubber as a general precaution. The inner and outer edges should remain supported and clear of features that could cut them as the assembly closes.
Use the specified assembly method and assess the washer after the required operating cycle, once the equipment is ready for inspection. Look for a changed contact pattern or material that has moved into an unintended clearance. A washer removed from a hot-service joint may no longer reflect its original free dimensions, so use the design size when selecting a replacement. Address damaged faces or incorrect compression before installing the new component.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Address damaged faces or incorrect compression before installing the new component.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
