Description
Our premium 100% recycled acetal C black sheet offers a high-performance engineering plastic solution with the added benefit of sustainability. Manufactured entirely from recycled material, it provides excellent rigidity, dimensional stability and wear resistance in a wide range of demanding industrial environments.
Combining high mechanical strength with reliable thermal stability and good electrical insulation properties, this acetal sheet is ideal for precision-machined components, jigs, fixtures, guides and insulating parts. Available in a consistent 30 mm thickness and a choice of standard sheet lengths, it is well suited to workshops, fabrication shops and production lines looking to reduce material waste without compromising on quality.
Product Features
- Made from 100% recycled acetal copolymer (POM-C) for a more sustainable material choice.
- Uniform 30 mm thickness, ideal for machining into precision industrial components.
- Standard sheet width of 610 mm, compatible with common workshop and CNC bed sizes.
- Available sheet lengths of 1000 mm, 2000 mm and 3000 mm to suit different project requirements.
- Black colour for a professional appearance and to help conceal marks, wear and soiling in service.
- High rigidity and hardness, providing excellent resistance to deformation under load.
- Good electrical insulating properties suitable for non-conductive spacers, covers and housings.
Key Features and Benefits
- High mechanical strength: With outstanding rigidity and wear resistance, this sheet is ideal for gears, bearings, guides and structural components that must withstand repeated mechanical stress.
- Excellent dimensional stability: Low moisture absorption and good creep resistance help machined parts maintain tight tolerances over time, even in demanding production environments.
- Thermal stability in service: Designed to perform over a broad working temperature range, supporting applications where components are exposed to fluctuating process or ambient temperatures.
- Reliable electrical insulation: Naturally insulating properties make the material suitable for electrical and electronic applications where contact with conductive parts must be avoided.
- Good machinability: The homogenous 30 mm sheet machines cleanly with standard metalworking or plastics tooling, helping to reduce machining time, tool wear and scrap rates.
- Sustainable material choice: Produced from 100% recycled acetal, helping to reduce reliance on virgin polymer and supporting environmental and corporate responsibility goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this acetal sheet suitable for machining on standard workshop equipment?
Yes, the sheet has been designed for good machinability and can be worked using standard metalworking or plastics machining equipment, such as CNC routers, mills and saws, when fitted with appropriate tooling and using suitable cutting parameters.
Can the 100% recycled acetal sheet replace virgin acetal in most applications?
In many industrial and engineering applications this recycled acetal sheet can be used in place of virgin material, offering similar mechanical performance and dimensional stability. However, for highly specialised or safety-critical applications, you should confirm suitability through testing or by consulting your design or engineering team.
Is this material suitable for outdoor use or exposure to weather?
The sheet offers good mechanical and thermal stability but standard acetal is not optimised for prolonged outdoor exposure, especially under strong UV light. For long-term outdoor installations, additional protection or a material specifically formulated for outdoor use may be more appropriate.
