    Lexan supplier

    I am looking to purchase a roll of .010" lexan gloss/gloss for vacuum forming.
    Does anybody know from where and what type of lexan I should use?

    Lexan doesn't have types.
    Lexan is a GE brand name for polycarbonate.
    Typically (with my suppliers anyway) the "other" brands of polycarbonate or less expensive.

    This doesn't really help with your supplier, but gives you some more search terms.

    Like Dare Bee said, Lexan is a trade name but the generic name is polycarbonate. There are several big manufacturers and thay all have several grades or types of polycarbonate.

    The graphics art/printing industry uses a lot of the thin films like you need. A regular plastics supplier usually doesn't go that thin.
