Thanks again all. I am definitely going powder coat if i can.
Abrasha you are right, this is going to be a big quantity for a major
retailer although I won't say who. Must confess, I would rather give
the work to a local outfit, but the choice is not mine to make....

I probably have not got enough time to research the

feasibility of using this material and also wether the
Chinese manufacturer can even get it .


Why are you sending this kind of work to China?

Plenty of local shops could do it for you.


I have a feeling he may be talking large quantity, maybe very large
quantity.

Much cheaper in China. Sure, there are plenty of local shops who can do
it, but can they do it at the same price?

I have the perfect shop for you right here across the border from San Diego
in Tijuana. They have really up to date fab shop and state of the art powder
coating. The freight from China may be enough to justify doing it closer to
home. Take a look:

And as to UHMWPE... I don't think it's rigid enough, it's more like Teflon
than something like Lexan. And Lexan would be an ideal plastic material.
Tough, bullet proof!
