Description

Black Acetal Plastic Sheet 16mm Thick

The 16mm Black Acetal Copolymer Sheet (POM-C) is a durable engineering plastic designed for manufacturing precision components that require strength, rigidity and consistent dimensions. Its high surface hardness and low friction characteristics make it suitable for parts exposed to regular movement and mechanical contact.

Compared with Acetal Homopolymer, Acetal Copolymer offers improved resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degradation. Its low moisture absorption helps maintain dimensional accuracy in humid and wet operating conditions, making it a practical choice for marine equipment and industrial machinery. The material also provides good resistance to UV exposure in its black grade and is suitable for applications requiring food-compliant materials.

Key Features

  • Material: Extruded Acetal Copolymer (POM-C).
  • Colour: Black.
  • Thickness: 16mm.
  • Mechanical Strength: High stiffness, tensile strength and surface hardness.
  • Dimensional Stability: Low moisture absorption helps minimise expansion and distortion.
