PC Plain Washer
PC plain washer is a lightweight engineering plastic fastening component made from polycarbonate (PC), designed to distribute load, reduce surface damage, and provide electrical insulation in assembly systems. The PC plain washer is widely used in electronics, optical equipment, automotive interiors, and industrial plastic structures where corrosion resistance, insulation, and weight reduction are required.
The PC plain washer provides a smooth bearing surface between the fastener and the connected part, improving stability and reducing stress concentration during tightening.
Product Overview
The PC plain washer is engineered for load distribution and surface protection in non-metallic fastening systems. Its flat circular design ensures even pressure distribution, preventing damage to plastic, painted, or soft surfaces.
This PC plain washer is commonly used in assemblies where metal washers may cause corrosion, electrical conductivity, or surface scratching. Polycarbonate material provides high impact resistance and better dimensional stability compared to PP and PVC.
As a reliable industrial plastic fastener accessory, it is widely used in OEM manufacturing and precision engineering systems.
