Description
This professional high-performance extruded black sheet is a robust engineering plastic designed for demanding industrial, fabrication and maintenance applications. Offering a smooth, consistent finish and excellent machinability, it is ideal for producing durable components, guards, panels and liners where reliability and strength are essential.
Combining superior mechanical strength with outstanding chemical resistance, this sheet material performs exceptionally well in harsh environments. Available in a wide range of thicknesses from 1 mm (pack of 2) up to 15 mm, with sheet sizes of 2440 x 1220 mm, 2440 x 1500 mm, 3000 x 1220 mm and 3000 x 1500 mm, it offers flexible solutions for general engineering, food processing, automotive and industrial plant installations.
Product Features
- High-performance extruded black engineering sheet with smooth, uniform surface finish.
- Thickness options from 1 mm (supplied in a pack of 2 sheets) through 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4.5 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm and 15 mm for a wide range of structural and lining applications.
- Available sheet lengths of 2440 mm and 3000 mm to suit different fabrication and cutting requirements.
- Choice of sheet widths in 1220 mm and 1500 mm, allowing efficient yield and reduced waste when nesting parts.
- Excellent chemical resistance, suitable for use around many oils, greases, cleaning agents and process chemicals.
- High mechanical strength and rigidity, with good impact resistance in thicker gauges.
- Black colour provides a smart, professional appearance and helps mask dirt, scuffs and general wear.
Key Features and Benefits
- Engineered strength and stiffness provide reliable performance in load-bearing panels, guards and machine components.
- Outstanding resistance to many chemicals helps extend service life in washdown areas, processing plants and chemically exposed environments.
- Easy to cut, drill and machine using standard workshop tools, streamlining fabrication and reducing production time.
- Good dimensional stability and consistent extrusion quality help ensure accurate, repeatable parts and tight tolerances.
- Low-maintenance surface is simple to wipe clean and maintain, supporting good housekeeping and hygiene practices.
- Multiple sheet sizes and thicknesses minimise offcuts and allow economical selection for each specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut and drill this extruded black sheet with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can typically be cut with saws suitable for plastics and drilled with sharp standard drill bits. Using appropriate speeds, feeds and support will help achieve clean edges and minimise heat build-up during machining.
Is this sheet suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments?
The sheet offers excellent resistance to many common industrial chemicals, oils and cleaning agents, making it suitable for a wide range of chemically exposed environments. However, compatibility should always be checked against the specific chemicals, concentrations and operating temperatures involved in your application.
How do I choose the right thickness for my project?
Thinner sheets such as 1 mm to 3 mm are ideal for lightweight panels, liners and shrouds, while mid-range thicknesses like 4.5 mm and 6 mm provide greater rigidity for guards and structural panels. For high-impact or heavily loaded applications, 9 mm and 15 mm sheets are recommended. Consider span, load and fixing points when selecting the most appropriate thickness.
