Hey Guys,
I came across a 2.5 inch diameter x roughly 48 inch long piece of DuPont Vespel SP-1 Polyimide plastic that came from my dad's old machine shop. Among other things, he used to build some parts for a military aircraft supplier. This stuff has a tensile strength of over 40 ksi (better than aluminum) and can withstand temps in the 300 C range.
The absolute minimum retail price I could find for a piece with these dimensions was over $10K
!!!
Does anybody have connections to a high end machine shop that would use this stuff and want to buy it for a real bargain?
I tried shopping it around a few local shops here and they all agreed that it was very expensive to buy but did not get much of a call for it.
Hoping some of my high tech buddies might be able to help me out.
Thanks !!
