good quality vac forming

QUESTION:

I didn't get any takers with 'where do you get good quality vacuum forming clear sheet from in the UK?', so heres another. Does anybody know the 'real' name of clear sheet used for vac forming? I thought I may give ringing around some plastics suppliers a try. I am after 0.75 and 0.10 thou thickness. As usual, any help would be greatly appreciated.

ANSWER:

The Clear stuff comes in varous forms but I think the stuff you need is called PTFE, if memory serves me right it vac forms beutifully, and if glues like a dream.
My day job is an architectural modelmaker, and for Vac forming clear we use Perspex, which is great, but very expensive.
Hope this helps
