Description
Natural Acetal Plastic Sheet 20mm Thick
Natural Acetal Plastic Sheet 20mm is an extruded POM-C thermoplastic engineered for manufacturing robust components that require dependable strength, precision and smooth operational movement. Its rigid construction and naturally hard surface make it suitable for producing intricate mechanical parts, particularly where consistent dimensions and a quality finish are important.
A major advantage of Acetal Copolymer is its efficient machining behaviour. During fabrication, the material produces short chips instead of lengthy swarf, helping prevent cutter entanglement and reducing finishing work. It is compatible with CNC machining, milling, drilling, boring and tapping, making it a practical material for automated production environments.
With minimal moisture absorption, this engineering plastic maintains dimensional accuracy during storage and service, including applications exposed to wet conditions. Its low-friction characteristics allow manufactured parts to move smoothly without excessive resistance, while its resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degradation supports use in demanding machinery.
