Material sources - Foam board / coro sheets

[anwar]

Dear all -

In order to start building the "quality information content" of this site, I am starting various threads that point to availability of RC material (outside of RC shops).

So this is the thread where you can post availability of foam boards and coro sheets in your locality/city/town (or village  )

[rcforall]

Advertising boards are a great source of CORO

I normally take a walk and  pull out some from poles and gates around .

Here is a Mini E Spad 3 D  made of such Coro.

Getting serious and you need real good brand new coro in Chennai :

Ellis Road , Triplicane

Bio foam : Subhashree Stationary , Near Triplicane Post office :
               Anand Stationary : LB road ,Adyar ( very small shop entrance opposite Mercy Elctronics)

Guys,

Depron in India is called biofoam. Located one in Delhi who retails

Shreem Akarsh Elplast Pvt. Ltd.
2152/2 Chuna Mandi, Pahar Ganj
Tel: 23586077

Just made a call to these guys, they said a 4ft x 8ft x 4mm is about Rs.380.

I plan to visit and verify sometimes towards the end of next week.

Regards
Pankaj

Update on depron/bio-foam in Delhi. Manage to track the dealer in the crowded Pahar Gunj area - had to walk quite a lot in the blistering heat of Delhi.....

Anyway, it turns out that this bloke has stopped stocking (fresh) products, has just about 10-15 sheets of 2 side laminated bio foam that he sells for about 370. The material itself had quite curves and the lamination was coming out in places. It looked horrible.

Further, the sheet is 4mm including thick paper based lamination on 2 sides, so I guess, just the foam would not be more than 2 to 2.5mm in thickness.

Don't think one can build much from this sort of material, but I may be wrong....

Hi,
The easiest way to find a biofoam dealer near you is to call up the main biofoam company at mumbai (number is in their website) and ask them for their local distributor. the distributor should be able to give the retailer's contact number. That was how i found out about Subhashree at Chennai.

Did some more scouting in Pahar Ganj Delhi. I actually took a sample along and kept asking around. Managed to get a dealer with HUGE stock in biofoam. The unlaminated sheets are available in 3 mm, 5 mm, 10mm etc right upto 30 mm

The address is
Gokal Chang Jagan Nath Nahar
5/7 Desh Bandhu Road (Parar Ganj)
Delhi 11 0055
Ph 23584959, 9811075723

Just bought 2 pc of 10 mm sheets of 1mt x 0.5 mt for 250 bucks each. Lets try an figure out what to do with these  ...

Hello friends, I am new to this forum and don't know where to get more details on Foam core.

I make Paper Models as Hobby and need Foamcore for basing. If any could help me get them then I would be very much thankful.

I live in Shahjahanpur (U.P.) and would prefer the distributor/person who could ship the items to me.

Thanks a lot

PS: I exactly don't know whether Foam core and Biofome are same thing so could any please clear it to me.

Hi pankaj

I am sorry the last piece of unlaminated depron was take n by me long time back from the first shop you mentioned.First they were trying to sell me the laminated one..i managed to coax a worker and went to their godown where i bribed the worker with 300 Rs and took 5 depron sheets of varying thickness.  I guess it was my day...got a dirt cheap deal...

i feel depron in delhi is costly as compared to other places..i paid rs 32 for 1 sheet in pune from a stationary shop in appa balwant chowk..

[Rooster]

the foam sheets and depron i buy is 40rs per sheet of size 100cm*45cm
