metal coated plastic
 

Looking for a source where there would be a layer of aluminum about 1/16
inch thick bonded to a layer of plastic, somewhat heat resistant about 1/8
inch thick. This would be cut into 3 inch square pieces. Anyone hear of
anything like this?

Some types of siding (for houses) are similar to what you describe, but I
don't think it's that thick.

How about the plates they use for printing?

The state of alabama uses a material that is thin aluminum bonded on
twqo sides of a plastic sheet for highway signs and traffic signs now
instead of the tyupicall all aluminum sheets. I have a few of the
signs I have a few signs I acquired after hurricanes etc, as well as
some new unused stock I scrounged form the ALA DOT boys, and its about
like the material yoour looking for. IIRC its made by Lyons something
or other. Aluminum is approx .030-040 thick on both sides on a 1/8"
think plastic material.........some really tuff stuff but easy to work
with. They just apply the various reflective materials directly on the
one side. Check a couple of highway , stop signs etc in yuor area as
they m ay alaso be using this stuff in your local........and if so
contact the signs division of your local DOT or municipal boys.

sounds like what is used in aircraft for bathroom mirrors...it has metal
(al.or stainless) bonded to clear plastic.You might do a search under
aviation supplies.Can be sheared or jig sawed.
