Looking for a US supplier of large sheets of styrene in 1mm&3mm thicknesses.

Tap Plastics "Don't Do Metric" so I am wondering if anyone here would know of a US-based (preferably SF Bay area) supplier where I can buy large sheets of styrene in 1mm & 3mm thicknesses?

Thanks,
Mike

My plastic supplier of choice is interstate plastics. I know they have a few locations. I'm not sure if one of them is in san fran. The thinkness are listed in inches but are accurate to mm. I've checked with my own personal orders in the past Check out the link below

WHITE HI STYRENE SHEET - Plastic Rods

Be sure to play around with the quantity and size as there is a minimum price of 12.79 for each type of plastic ordered so be sure to get the most for your money. Hope this helps

Have you tried Plastruc ?

I've used plastruct for domes & extruded rod etc, but didn't think about them for a sheet supplier. I will check them out.

On a side note, Interstate's 1/8 4'x8' sheets are about $15's cheaper than Tap.

Went to Interstate Plastics in San Leandro.

Completely different culture than Tap Plastics.

I am so happy I went. I ordered 3 4'x8' sheets, and asked to have them cut them down into 24x96 sections. They completely did it for free & not b/c they were hard up for business. Just cool people!

Only bad thing is mm thicknesses are a special order with huge minimum requirements. Probably they are resetting machines specially for me.:cry

I still can't find .020 in 4' lengths or longer.

Try your local plexi company. I used to buy from them.

I have always used US Plastics just got 3 sheets for about $55 shipped (standard large sheet). All prices very depending on thickness an helpful people i have screwed up orders and they helped fix an error i did.

EDIT: you will find your .020 at 4' i just got one in that thickness

Wow the cost&shipping are really reasonable! I couldn't imagine a pesky 6 dollar order being cheap on shipping but the total was $11-ish.


Thanks guys!
