Title: Styrene Suppliers
Post by: dpbarry on June 15, 2006, 09:23:03 pm

Hi Folk..

Can anyone suggest a good online supplier of styrene materials.

So far I'm getting may styrene materials from Hobby's (www.hobby.uk.com) but looking to compare prices etc.  Hobby's don't have some bits and pieces in certain sizes that I need.

Hi,
If you want large sheets of styrene sheets, ie 6x4ft try stephen Webster plastics as I work for a plastic company and we buy from them. The only problem is the postage as one sheet on a pallet is expensive so I would suggest you get your club to order a decent amount, or I suppose you could collet from hertfordshire.
I also use Trylon as they are very local to me Their sheets are approx 457x508x1mm price about £0.97 each exc postage.(they do bulk packs and do .5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm thicknesses. Also various colours inc clear
They also do acrylic tube for submarine dive chambers.
try their website
www.trylon.co.uk
I hope this helps
