Silicone Nylon

[Lithril]

Anyone know a source of silicone nylon?

Have you tried this UK supplier...................

http://www.primasil.com

Not sure if they sell in small quantities to the general public though.

Hope it is of help.

did you actually research this site before you posted a link to it?

there is no referance to silicone nylon on that site at all

Silnylon is also known as Hytex PCU or as Silcone elastomer coated nylon.....well, 'technically' they're similar but the various companies all claim their version is a better development
I think they were first used for hot air balloons. (Hyperlite)
I don't know of a supplier, but I'll have a looksee.

Hi Folks,

Might be worth a call, they carry good stuff and at least they'd have a good idea where to source the silnylon.

cheers for that, if Silicone Elastomer Nylon is the same stuff then Point North sell it, only problem is that it is over £8 a meter.

its best to post only if you actually know the answer, rather than just entering the results of the first page of a google search. since the individual asking will almost certainly have searched google before asking on the forum.

You can get cheap off cuts from Cameron balloons in Bristol. I go in to the reception to ask , but they might post you some if you ask. Bags are £10, which you will get around five sheets of material 5 X 6 ft. I got two bags lasty week and was able to make a large KISU and various other bags for outdoor gear.
If cameron balloons wont post im sure we could sort something out.

Is that for silicon nylon???? fantastic, I'll try and contact them.

 

[Toddy]

Now that's worth a try, let us know how you get on, will you?

Cheers,
