From RS Pro a range of high-quality POM-H acetal solid plastic sheets, natural in colour, available in a range of sizes and thicknesses.

Solid plastic sheets are sheets of strong durable plastic or plastic like materials which are cut to size and sold in a wide range of sizes and thickness. These hard plastic sheets, once purchased, can then be cut or machined into components for the fabrication of products for use in a wide range of industries. Different plastics have different properties which lend them for use in specific applications

Acetal or polyacetal is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic and is a member of the family of plastics called polyoxymethylene (POM). POM-H acetal is homopolymer and is manufactured using a white DuPont Delrin resin. POM-H has a higher crystallinity than POM-C making it denser, harder and stronger with good wear resistance properties. POM-H also has good electrical insulating properties making it ideal for use in the electronics industry. These acetal plastics have good sliding properties, components made from this material slide very easily and don’t stick or lock up. This is an essential quality when this hard plastic sheet is used in delicate or fine instruments where smooth operation is essential and in gears and bearings. POM-H is classified as an engineering plastic and, due to its unique properties, has exceptional machining characteristics, high versatility and is ideal for use in a wide range of industries

• High strength, density and hardness
• Good chemical resistance
• Good slide and wear properties
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Difficult to bond
• Good machinability and easy to polish
• Not hot water resistant over 60°C

his POM-H acetal solid plastic sheet with its excellent hardness and electrical insulation properties is ideal for use in the electronics industry as well as a range of other industries where durability and versatility are important. These industries include;

• Mechanical engineering
• Electronics industry
• Automotive industry
• Aircraft and aerospace technology
