Plastic Sheet

[grollies]

I'm looking for 1/2" thick 8' x 4' PTFE sheet. Does anyone know if this stuff is available in Thailand. I've seen it on Alibaba but never shipped with them.

 

Any suggestions welcome.

If you're still looking, and you live near Chon Buri, I've bought from a local shop that has a good inventory of a variety of plastic sheets, though I dont know if they have (or can order) PTFE.  Let me know if you want the contact info for this company,...I'll need to dig though my files to find them.

I'm close to Chon Buri. If you could dig out the supplier contact I'd appreciate it, thanks.

I've bought plastic sheets like you need from Thai Watsadu in Udon Thani.

AFIK Thai Watsadu only sell PTFE plumbers tape. I've never seen PTFE sheet in Thailand.

Just read up on PTFE sheet and genuinely  interested to know what and how people use it here. The "too slippery for Geckos and ants"  seems to have a real application as cladding or skirting in Thailand  but wondering about the  durability due to creep . 

 

Thai Watsadu next to Mega in Bangna   sells various kinds of colours and thickness of Acrylic sheet at the back with the wood and plumbing. The problem (for me) is it only seems to come in 4 metre lengths and they offer no cutting service.  I did politely suggest they might offer a cutting service and their call centre called me to discuss it. It was surprisingly detailed call - what kind of service did i need would i pay for it did i think others might etc so perhaps they will consider actually doing it.

@Grollies

Out of interest did you get hold of the material and what application was it for?

I can virtually guarantee that it isn't available in Thailand and certainly not used as cladding or skirting as a 1.5mm 1.5 metres square would cost at least 9,000 Baht, go up to 6mm thick and it's over 45,000 Baht these are before VAT UK prices.

 

This means that if available (and it probably isn't) his sheet would be a lot north of 100,000 Baht each
