Thanks cory. Looked on website and they seem to offer a good alternative to GE plastics - will contact them.

If anybody else knows any other major producers of plastic sheet then let me know.

Thanks

RE: Abs / polycarbonate sheet brands

Have you looked into Kydex?  Sounds like it would meet your requirements, although I have no idea what your cost sensitivity is.

RE: Abs / polycarbonate sheet brands

I've been looking at a lot of plastic companies, and found Steve Towers at this company to be very helpful.
