New Process Fibre is an ISO 9001:2015 non-metallic stamping company that manufactures flat and specialty washers for an array of industries. We use a large variety of materials, including Nylon, Nylon 6, Nylon 6/6, High and Low Density Polyethylene, Polypropylene, PEEK®, Flame Retardant Polypropylene, Acetal, ABS, Mylar®, Teflon™ PTFE, Vulcanized Fibre, Fish Paper, Nomex®, Viton®, Paper Phenolic, PVC, Polycarbonate, Ultem®, Buckfab, and Epoxy Glass.
With over 10,000 washer dies in stock, we can meet your requirements in as little as one week or less! We fabricate washers with outside diameters from 0.093″ up to 12.000″, in thicknesses ranging from 0.005″ to 0.187″, and order quantities ranging from one into the millions.
Our team has years of experience working with a broad range of materials. We can build our own die-sets in-house and stamp washers to exact tolerances with extremely fast turnaround times, regardless of order quantity.
We offer a large array of colors, including red, green, blue, yellow, black, orange, and white, with color matching available for certain material options (minimum quantities may apply for these special colors).
All custom washers are available in English and/or metric units and can have Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) applied.
Industries Served
Due to their strength, reliability, and material versatility, non-metallic washers are ideal for an extensive range of applications. At New Process Fibre, we provide a comprehensive selection of non-metallic stamped washers for nearly every industry, including:
Aerospace
Aerospace engines, hydraulic systems, flight control systems, and other components must work reliably in extreme environments to protect both people and sizable scientific investments. Custom nylon washers can outperform metal washers and other nonmetal washers, thanks to the material’s unique performance characteristics. These include resistance to chemical damage and corrosion, resistance to abrasion or other forms of mechanical damage, and flame-retarding properties. Nylon washers are also more durable and more resistant to degradation over time compared to traditional options.
New Process Fibre can also produce washers in custom sizes and shapes for long-lasting use in applications such as:
- Airframes
- Flight control systems
- Hydraulic or pneumatic systems
Medical Devices and Equipment
We offer custom washers made with nylon for use in sterile medical environments. Despite its lighter weight, this material is strong enough to be used with components in load-bearing equipment. It provides reliable corrosion and chemical resistance, as well as improved temperature resistance to extend the performance of medical devices and equipment. Our nylon washers are frequently used in medical applications such as face shields, tables, and respirator components.
Automotive Systems
In modern-day vehicle parts, nonmetal materials can provide the same degree of strength as metal materials without the additional weight. Our Teflon™ washers can withstand hot and cold temperatures, as well as exposure to chemicals like road salts, oil, and car fluids. They are ideal for engine, body, brake, and transmission systems, as well as other high-performance automotive applications.
Plumbing and Marine Equipment
Metallic components in marine equipment and plumbing systems can corrode in moist or chemically harsh environments. Our Teflon™ PTFE washers can tolerate ongoing exposure to potentially corrosive elements such as water, brine, and water treatment chemicals. These washers maintain their structural integrity in extreme temperatures, making them ideal for use in heated processing applications.
Industrial and Manufacturing
At New Process Fibre, we have experience stamping and die cutting HDPE washers for use in industrial and mechanical settings. Washers that use HDPE are rigid and durable, handling heavy loads and high pressures without losing their shape. Their reliable performance and efficiency make them ideal for a range of manufacturing and industrial processes.
Oil, Gas, and Chemical Processing
Oil, gas, and chemical processing centers often require specialty materials for use in high-performance machinery and assemblies. Our selection of LDPE washers offers greater flexibility than HDPE washers while retaining the necessary degree of toughness. They can also withstand prolonged exposure to corrosive chemicals found in marine, oil and gas, and chemical processing environments.
Everything Under One Roof
At New Process Fibre, we’ve built our manufacturing capabilities to serve your project needs as simply and effectively as possible. We are continually expanding our in-house capabilities to provide precision manufacturing options and timely production schedules you can rely on. By working with one service provider, you can also benefit from tighter quality control, transparency, and efficient end-to-end product management.
Our in-house services for producing custom non-metallic washers include:
Slitting and Shearing
We can slit and shear a wide range of non-metallic materials. We work with rolls, coils, strips, and sheets in thicknesses of 0.005″ to 0.250″ and material widths of 0.500″ to 38″. Our technicians and equipment operate within very tight tolerances to create highly precise goods for use in complex or intricate configurations.
Extrusion and Slitting
New Process Fibre’s in-house extrusion capabilities allow us to work with nonmetal materials such as:
We offer a range of thicknesses (anywhere from 0.005″ to 0.250″ depending on material type). For larger orders, custom colors and color-matching options are also available. We can handle varying product quantities, ranging from 300 lbs to multiple truckloads. This allows us to accommodate prototyping or larger-scale production projects with ease.
Non-Metallic Stamping
Our production facility has over 75 punch presses and 7,500 stock dies to accommodate high-volume production needs. We also have multiple high-speed presses that can complete as many as 400 strokes per minute for small or large-scale stamping. We can work with custom dies, compound dies, and progressive stampings. We also offer steel rule die-cutting services for prototyping projects.
