Grommet washers are flat, round pieces of rubber that have an opening in the middle. Generally speaking, they are placed between a grommet – or other items – and a surface in order to improve the tension between the two items. They do have a wide range of uses and applications, and most commonly, grommet washes are applied to a surface where there needs to be a tight seal. The tight seal will protect the items passing through the hole from various factors including dust, grime, liquids, chemicals, heat, cold, as well as UV rays, which makes grommet washers suitable for a lot of industries including the automotive and industrial machinery plants.
Since grommet washers are made from rubber, they are both durable and resistant to different factors, however, they are also flexible which allows them to be easily and quickly secured to the surface. Besides this, grommet washers can be installed more tightly around the opening and it will also allow some expansion and contraction. This means that they could function without hindrances even when they are exposed to extremely high or extremely low temperatures. As mentioned, they are made from durable materials, meaning that they will last longer than some other options on the market, so companies could save money since they don’t have to be replaced often.
Grommet washers are meant for creating seals that can prevent different things and liquids such as oils, chemicals, and water from entering the surface and damaging the wires, cables, and/or cords located within the grommet. Besides this, they can also prevent dust, grime, different particles, and UV rays from damaging the items, which is exactly why grommet washers have a wide range of uses and applications across different industries and businesses. Additionally, they’re perfect for minimizing the transmission of vibrations within the items.
