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? "RJ" wrote in message ...

metal coated plastic
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.
