Precision Silicone Rubber Washers Manufactured in the UK

Stephens Gaskets manufactures silicone rubber washers designed to deliver reliable sealing, insulation and load distribution across a wide range of industrial and engineering applications.

With decades of specialist experience in washers, shims and gaskets, we supply silicone washers trusted for their flexibility, durability and consistent performance.

Silicone rubber washers are particularly effective where metal washers are unsuitable, offering superior resistance to moisture, excellent elasticity and non-abrasive contact with sensitive surfaces.

What Are Silicone Rubber Washers?

Silicone rubber washers are flexible components manufactured from high-quality silicone elastomer.

They are used between fasteners and mating surfaces to:

  • Create a tight, reliable seal.
  • Distribute load evenly.
  • Reduce vibration.
  • Prevent surface damage.
  • Provide electrical and thermal insulation.

Unlike metal washers, silicone rubber washers can conform to irregular surfaces, making them ideal for both domestic and industrial applications where precision and protection are required.

Why Choose Silicone Rubber Washers?

Silicone rubber offers several advantages that make it a preferred material for washer applications.

1. Excellent Water and Moisture Resistance

Silicone rubber washers perform reliably in wet environments and are unaffected by prolonged exposure to water.

2. High Flexibility and Elastic Recovery

Their elasticity allows them to maintain a consistent seal even under compression and movement.

3. Non-Abrasive Surface

Silicone washers protect mating components from scratches, wear and surface damage, making them ideal for delicate or finished parts.

4. Effective Insulation

Silicone rubber provides both electrical and thermal insulation, supporting safe use in electrical and engineering assemblies.

5. Durable and Long-Lasting

Compared to many metal washers, silicone rubber washers offer improved durability in certain environments and resist corrosion entirely.

These properties make silicone rubber washers suitable for applications ranging from plumbing and electrical installations to industrial and aerospace engineering.
