Applications:

Ideal for a wide range of bolting and fastening tasks, these flat washers are suitable for both professional trades and home improvement projects. Their durable zinc-plated design makes them perfect for indoor and outdoor applications, resisting wear and maintaining integrity under pressure.

Zinc coatings protect the metal surface by acting as a barrier and a sacrificial anode. Unlike iron oxide, zinc oxide forms a protective layer that prevents substrate breakdown, similar to the protective properties of stainless steel and aluminium.
