Description
This premium antistatic acetal C ESD sheet is a high-performance engineering plastic designed to provide controlled static dissipation while maintaining excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability. Its ivory colouring allows easy visual identification in assemblies and cleanroom environments.
Ideal for use in electronic, semiconductor, automotive and precision engineering applications, this ESD-safe sheet helps protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge while offering low friction, good wear resistance and outstanding machinability. Available in a choice of thicknesses and lengths, it is well suited to custom parts, guards, fixtures and structural components where static control is essential.
Product Features
- Material: antistatic acetal C (POM-C) with excellent static dissipative properties.
- Colour: ivory for clear visibility, part identification and quality inspection.
- Available thicknesses: 12 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm to suit a wide range of load and stiffness requirements.
- Standard sheet width: 610 mm for compatibility with common machining and fabrication set-ups.
- Sheet lengths: 1000 mm, 2000 mm and 3000 mm options to minimise joints and offcuts.
- High stiffness and strength combined with good impact resistance for demanding engineering duties.
- Low friction, good wear resistance and excellent machinability for precision components.
Key Features and Benefits
- Static dissipative formulation helps control electrostatic charge build-up, protecting sensitive electronic assemblies and reducing ESD-related failures.
- Excellent dimensional stability and low moisture absorption support tight tolerances and reliable performance in precision-machined parts.
- High mechanical strength and rigidity allow the sheet to be used for structural components, fixtures and jigs in production environments.
- Low friction surface and good wear properties make it suitable for sliding elements, guide rails and bearing components with reduced lubrication needs.
- Ivory colour aids quick identification of ESD-safe parts and makes contamination or surface damage easier to spot during inspection.
- Available in multiple thicknesses and lengths, helping to optimise material yield and reduce machining time and waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this antistatic acetal sheet suitable for direct contact with electronic components?
Yes, this static dissipative acetal C sheet is designed to help control electrostatic charge and is suitable for fixtures, trays and guards that come into contact with electronic assemblies. However, you should always ensure the full system, including earthing and other ESD controls, is correctly designed for your specific application.
Can the sheet be easily machined into complex shapes?
Yes, antistatic acetal C offers excellent machinability and can be turned, milled, drilled and sawn using standard metalworking or plastic-cutting tools. Using sharp tools, appropriate speeds and adequate clamping will help achieve clean edges and accurate tolerances.
Which thickness should I choose for my application?
The best thickness depends on the load and stiffness required. As a general guide, 12 mm is suitable for lighter-duty plates and smaller fixtures, 20 mm for medium-duty structural parts, and 30 mm where higher rigidity or larger spans are needed. If in doubt, consult your design calculations or a qualified engineer to confirm suitability.
