Acetal Copolymer Extruded Sheet

Acetal Copolymer rod (POM-C) is a durable, low-moisture engineering plastic with excellent machinability, dimensional stability, and a wide temperature range (-40°C to +105°C). Available in natural, black, and blue, it offers high surface strength and wear resistance.

Why Choose Acetal Copolymer Sheets?

Acetal copolymer offers a unique combination of strength, wear resistance, and chemical stability, making it a reliable material for precision parts and high-performance applications. Its low moisture absorption ensures components retain their shape and accuracy, even in humid or wet environments. The material's superior machinability makes it easy to fabricate, providing clean, precise cuts with minimal wear on tools.

Key Features and Benefits

• Superior Machinability: Easier to machine than nylon, ensuring consistent precision and smooth finishes.
• UV Resistant (Black Variant): Enhanced protection against UV degradation, making it ideal for outdoor use.
• Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains dimensional stability, even in humid conditions.
• Excellent Dimensional Stability: Resists warping and maintains accuracy over time.
• Food-Safe Compliance: Suitable for food-related applications.
• Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to a variety of chemicals, making it ideal for industrial environments.

Colour Variants and Their Benefits

• The natural acetal copolymer sheet is the standard, unpigmented version, offering superior mechanical properties and excellent chemical resistance. It is ideal for industrial and mechanical applications where colour is not a concern.

• The black acetal copolymer sheet is enhanced with UV resistance, making it perfect for outdoor or high-exposure environments. It is also commonly used where low visibility or aesthetic consistency is required.

• The blue acetal copolymer sheet is widely used in food processing industries, as its distinct colour makes it easy to identify during contamination checks. It offers the same strength, wear resistance, and performance as the natural and black variants.

Manufacturing Process - Extrusion

Acetal copolymer sheets are produced using the extrusion process, where raw polymer is melted and shaped into continuous sheets. This method ensures:

• Uniform thickness
• Smooth surfaces
• Consistent quality

The material produced has low internal stress and offers outstanding machinability, making it suitable for precision engineering applications.

Custom Cut and Bespoke Fabrication

Our cut to size service allows Acetal copolymer sheet panels to be purchased in exact dimensions, avoiding the need to buy full, manufactured sheet sizes.

Bespoke Fabrication Services Include:

• CNC Laser Cutting: For precise and intricate designs.
• CNC Routing: Suitable for complex shapes and large-scale projects.
• Engraving: Perfect for personalised or technical detailing.
• Additional Finishing Options: Drilled holes, rounded corners, and edge polishing for a professional finish.

Sustainability and Recycling

Acetal copolymer sheets are recyclable through specialised processes. While not widely recycled, their durability and longevity reduce the need for frequent replacement, making them a sustainable choice for long-term applications.

We provide a fast delivery service throughout the UK using recognised Couriers such as Royal Mail, DHL, and Parcel Force.

Delivery prices are calculated based on the length of the longest side of the material ordered i.e. the delivery price of a panel measuring 1500mm x 1000mm would be based on the 1500mm dimension. Only one delivery charge is charged per order regardless of how many items are ordered.

UK Delivery costs

Standard delivery for all accessories is £7.95, or £12.95 for Express delivery.

All prices listed include VAT.

Delivery Times

Our guidelines for delivery times are listed below:

• Standard delivery (3-5 working days)
• Express delivery (2-3 working days)

Express Delivery

If you require faster delivery you may wish to consider choosing our Express Delivery option at the checkout. Express Delivery orders are prioritised over standard orders and delivered using a recognised nationwide courier.

Next Day Delivery

Next Day delivery is not available via our website due to the volume and bespoke nature of orders we receive on a daily basis. However, if you need to place an order and require Next Day delivery please contact us – we will make every effort to meet your requirements and deadlines.

European/EU Delivery

We have temporarily disabled European delivery for orders placed through our website whilst we make changes to ensure that the correct rate of EU VAT is being charged. Our team can however manually process orders so please contact us if you require delivery to the European Union.

Remote Areas

Due to the nature of the ”made to measure” products we supply, we provide delivery prices at a standard rate and reserve the right to cancel an order should it become economically unviable to fulfill the order. In these extremely rare circumstances, the customer will be contacted first to discuss alternative options.

When delivering to some locations we can incur increased Courier delivery costs. Should delivery be required to one of the locations listed below a remote area supplement will be automatically added to the price of delivery during the checkout process.

All prices listed include VAT.

Examples of delivery locations which may incur a remote area supplement are:

• Channel Islands
• Isle of Man
• Isles of Scilly
• Isle of Wight
• Scottish Islands
• Scottish Highlands
• Remote areas of Scotland
• Northern Ireland

If you require delivery to one of these areas please get in touch to discuss your order.

Third-Party Deliveries

Some products are dispatched directly from the manufacturer and delivered by a third-party courier. If applicable, this is clearly stated on each Product page under the 'Delivery' tab/section.
