PVC coated Aluminium sheet - "elephant hide"
(1/2) > >>
BillTodd:
Hi,

I've been trying to source some PVC coated aluminium. Not that many moons ago we used to buy it from RS in small sheets which we refered to as 'elephant hide' .

The PVC coating is similar to the coating used on steel roofing/sidings sheet - tough as a tough thing.

Anyone know what i mean and know of a source?

Hi

what sort of quantity were you looking for?

BillTodd:
For now I need a piece 700 x500

But, I'd really like to know a commercial supplier (just in case the this thing I'm building actually sells)

Is there any trade name or suppliers name on it?

Bill
wheeltapper:
Yike, thats 28"x20"
the pieces I've got aren't half that size, they are  covers from old GPO connection panels.

sorry I can'help you.

Maybe you could get an outfit liks this, which says it does textured finishes, to powder coat some aluminium for you:

Probably no good unless/until you go into mass production, unless you can persuade them to do you a fairly large sample.
