Flat Repair Washers ZP M12 x 40mm ForgePack 6 FORFPWAS1240

Product Description

These Forgefix Flat Repair Washers have a large 40mm outside diameter. They are bright Zinc Plated for increased corrosion resistance.

Washers provide a smooth surface for the nut or bolt to bear on, making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface. The main purpose of a washer is to distribute the load under a bolt head or the nut face.

APPLICATION:

On all manner of bolting applications.

Can be used with all types of bolts and nuts.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
