Frequently Asked Questions
Is this electrically conductive acetal sheet suitable for machining with standard workshop tools?
Yes, this acetal C sheet machines well using standard metalworking or plastic-cutting tools such as saws, mills, lathes and routers. Sharp tools and appropriate cutting speeds are recommended to achieve a good surface finish and maintain tight tolerances.
Can the sheet be used for direct contact with electronic components to help control static?
The sheet is designed as a conductive engineering plastic and can be used for fixtures, trays and supports where control of static build-up is important. However, users should verify suitability for their specific components and processes, including any cleanliness or contamination requirements.
How do I choose the right thickness and length for my application?
Select the thickness based on the mechanical load, required stiffness and machining depth of your finished part, choosing a thicker sheet for higher loads or larger components. Choose the closest available sheet length (1000 mm, 2000 mm or 3000 mm) that allows you to nest and machine all required parts with minimal waste.
