Acetal Black Extruded
Black Acetal offers an ideal combination of strength, toughness and hardness with excellent slide.
Our Cut to Size Acetal is a semi crystalline thermoplastic and characterised by a low coefficient of friction, good wear properties and offer resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including many solvents. They also provide high mechanical strength, stiffness and heat resistance. As water absorption is very low, dimensional accuracy and stability is improved over nylons.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
