Acetal Copolymer
*Please note engineering plastics are semi-finished, and as such don’t normally come with protective film and may have surface marks. Not recommended for aesthetic purposes. There is a tolerance on the thickness and/or diameter, please contact us for more information - Overall size/length tolerance +/- 3mm.
Acetal is a hard engineering plastic with high tensile strength and rigidity, excellent machining ability and versatility of application. Acetal has creep resistance and is resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermo oxidative degradation. Acetal is suitable for use in components where exceptional strength is needed for above average temperature or moisture levels.

CUTTING SERVICE - We offer a FREE cut-to-size service*
If you require a custom size and your size is smaller than one of our standard size sheets, you can order the size above what you require and during checkout add your cutting request to the ‘message to seller’ box and save the message. Alternatively, you can send us a direct email or phone our sales team.
*Minimum width of cut is 75mm. We lose 3mm on each cut due to the width of the blade. Tolerance +/-1mm. Limited to 4 cuts per product. 90 degree cuts only. If you require a shape, more cuts or a piece less than 75mm, we will send you a quote before completing the work .
