Description
This premium black acetal C sheet is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for demanding CNC machining applications. Offering excellent dimensional stability and a smooth, consistent finish, it is ideal where precision, strength and repeatability are critical.
With outstanding chemical resistance and very low moisture absorption, this material maintains its properties in challenging industrial environments. Supplied in a range of thicknesses and cut to size, it is a versatile choice for components in food processing, automotive, mechanical and general engineering sectors.
Product Features
- Available in multiple thicknesses, including 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm, plus additional sizes on request.
- Black acetal C (copolymer) sheet, engineered for enhanced toughness and wear resistance.
- High chemical resistance suitable for exposure to oils, greases, fuels and many cleaning agents.
- Very low moisture absorption to maintain dimensional accuracy in humid or wet conditions.
- Excellent machinability, ideal for CNC routing, milling, turning and drilling operations.
- Good sliding and wear properties, suitable for low-friction components and bearing surfaces.
- Supplied cut to size to minimise waste and reduce on-site preparation time.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable performance in harsh environments – retains strength and stiffness even when exposed to chemicals and moisture.
- Stable, precise components – low water uptake and good dimensional stability help deliver tight tolerances in machined parts.
- Cost-effective machining – clean chip formation and excellent machinability reduce tool wear and production time.
- Durable in dynamic applications – high wear resistance and low friction make it suitable for moving and load-bearing parts.
- Neat, professional appearance – black colour helps mask dirt and marks, ideal for visible or hygienic installation areas.
- Flexible sizing options – wide choice of thicknesses and cut-to-size service minimise offcuts and material wastage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this black acetal C sheet suitable for CNC machining?
Yes, this material is specifically selected for its excellent machinability. It cuts cleanly on CNC routers and mills, produces consistent chips, and supports tight tolerances for precision parts.
How do I choose the right thickness for my application?
Select the thickness based on the load, stiffness and overall dimensions of your finished component. Thinner sheets (such as 8–10 mm) suit lighter-duty parts or spacers, while thicker options (12–20 mm and above) are better for structural, load-bearing or heavily machined components.
Can this acetal C sheet be used in damp or humid environments?
Yes, acetal C has very low moisture absorption compared with many other plastics, so it maintains its dimensions and mechanical properties well in damp, humid or occasionally wet conditions.
