Does anyone have a UK source for conductive / anti-static plastic for a home (hobby) project?

Happy New Year - Things can only get better!


Bit of a long shot I know, but I'm really struggling with this one - I'm trying to get hold of a sheet of (ideally) conductive or (second best) static dissipative plastic for a home project (not commercial), around 5 or 10mm x 1m x 1m, does anyone have any ideas where I might be able to get some? I know it exists, but can only find it on manufacturer's websites so far, not on small scale distributors. Or any ideas for other rigid resistive material that can end up about 40mm wide x 5mm thick x 1m long? I'm happy to pay for it, but of course I'll only be buying the one sheet, not a tonne!


It's for something vaguely along the lines of an Ondes Martenot - I do enjoy building weird musical instruments - over the holidays I managed to lash up a prototype using an antistatic bag (the black type used for IC tubes) bonded to a piece of wood, which showed the principle works. But it also showed it needs something a bit more flat and rigid to work reliably.


All help and leads gratefully appreciated!


Cheers,

  • Thanks for the hint - they seemed to have just what I wanted in their clearance section, so I've just ordered a bit!


    Not that I've had a chance to get any further with this since the holidays, pesky day job...
