Description
This premium acetal C natural sheet is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for demanding applications where strength, stiffness and dimensional accuracy are critical. Offering a smooth, machinable surface and excellent wear resistance, it is ideal for components that require tight tolerances and long service life.
With outstanding chemical resistance, low moisture absorption and superb dimensional stability, this acetal C sheet is widely used in mechanical, automotive, food-processing and pharmaceutical environments. It is available cut to size, with a range of thicknesses including 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm, plus additional options to suit your specific project requirements.
Product Features
- Manufactured from premium acetal copolymer (POM-C) for high mechanical performance.
- Natural (unpigmented) colour for easy inspection and suitability in hygienic and technical applications.
- Available thicknesses include 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm, with further thickness options to match bespoke designs.
- Excellent dimensional stability for precision-machined components and tight-tolerance parts.
- Low moisture absorption, maintaining strength and stiffness even in humid or wet environments.
- Good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, fuels and cleaning agents.
- Cut to size service available to minimise waste and reduce on-site cutting and preparation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable dimensional accuracy: Exceptional stability means machined parts retain their shape and size, reducing rejects and rework.
- Enhanced service life: High wear resistance and toughness help components withstand repeated loading, impact and sliding contact.
- Consistent performance in damp conditions: Low moisture uptake prevents swelling and loss of mechanical properties, ideal for humid or washdown environments.
- Chemical resilience: Withstands many solvents, lubricants and cleaning chemicals, supporting long-term use in industrial and process applications.
- Easy to machine and fabricate: Suitable for turning, milling, drilling and routing with clean finishes, helping to speed up production.
- Versatile design options: Multiple thickness choices and cut-to-size supply allow efficient material usage and tailored component design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acetal C natural sheet be machined with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can be machined using standard metalworking and woodworking equipment, including saws, routers, drills and milling machines. Sharp tools and appropriate cutting speeds are recommended to achieve a clean finish and maintain dimensional accuracy.
Is this material suitable for use in wet or humid environments?
Yes, acetal C has low moisture absorption, so it maintains its strength, stiffness and dimensions in damp or wet conditions. This makes it suitable for applications involving washdown, humidity or occasional water contact.
What thickness options are available for this acetal C sheet?
The sheet is available in a range of thicknesses, including 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm, along with several additional thickness options. This allows you to select the most appropriate thickness for your design and performance requirements.
