and environmental responsibility that Gaynor Industries remains the preferred
supplier to many OEM's and distributors for delivering quality sealing fasteners.
Nearly 60 years ago, BarTite Sealing Washers
were introduced as one of the first
"one-piece washer" designs developed and patented in the United States. Today,
Gaynor Industries operates out of a 15,000 square-foot facility in Wilmington, MA
and has invested heavily in streamlining processes and expanding production capabilities.
We are committed to delivering top-quality products, which include sealing
washers, nuts, and screws.
Gaynor Industries is proud that our products have been made in America with the highest quality
since the very beginning. We continue to build on our reputation by not only delivering
a standard product line but also by partnering with customers to create innovative
solutions to solve their individual sealing challenges.
RoHS is the acronym for Restriction of Hazardous Substances as defined by
European Union Directive 2002/95/EC. Effective July 1, 2006, this
directive restricts the use of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg),
cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated
biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
in new electrical and electronic equipment. Substances are restricted to 0.1%
or 1000ppm by weight of homogeneous material (except for cadmium, which is
limited to 0.01% or 100ppm). The restricted materials are found to be
hazardous to the environment, pollute landfills, and are dangerous in terms of
occupational exposure during manufacturing and recycling.
The RoHS Directive compliments the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EA (Waste
from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) which mandates the treatment, recovery
and recycling of electric and electronic equipment. By definition,
RoHS regulates the use of hazardous substances in electric and electronic components
while WEEE regulates their disposal.
In response to the RoHS compliance directive, we are pleased to inform you that
all Gaynor Industries standard fasteners are in compliance to this criterion.
DFARS is the acronym for Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement.
When required, it invokes the Berry Amendment, also known as the "Preference for
Domestic Specialty Metals." This amendment states that specialty metals used in
the manufacture of fasteners be melted in the United States or qualifying country.
The Berry Amendment requires the United States Department of Defense to purchase
select items, including those made from "specialty metals" such as stainless
steel, exclusively from American sources. The follow-up regulations, DFARS
Clause 252.225-7014, prohibits contractors and their suppliers from incorporating
"specialty metals" (as defined in the clause) into military parts,
components, and deliverables, unless the specialty metals have been melted in the
United States or other qualifying country listed in DFARS 225.872-1 (currently
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey, or United Kingdom).
Gaynor Industries certifies that all products designated as "DFARS Compliant"
comply with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)
Clause 252.225-7014.
