The main purpose of a washer is to distribute the load under a bolt head or the nut face.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAPPLICATION:\u003cbr\u003eOn all manner of bolting applications. \u003cbr\u003eCan be used with all types of bolts and nuts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eZinc 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.","brand":"ForgeFix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41383606550710,"sku":"TB-FORWASH5M-01","price":0.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/7054\/4566\/files\/FORWASH8_73acda84-161c-411f-814c-4ccd94b76f81.png?v=1727987120","url":"https:\/\/trade-mart.co.uk\/products\/forgefix-100wash5-flat-washer-form-b-zp-m5-bag-100","provider":"trade-mart.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
