Base/Topsheet Materials Europe/Germany

[sir.orange]

i just noticed north american and canadian skibuilders are really blessed with crown plastics offering you an online shop for materials in affordable quantities. PE rolls from 40 - 100m, just great!

thats something i really miss here in europe, especially germany/austria. we have manufactorers for everything to build a ski, but especially the plastic guys want minimum orders like kilometers of materials. (PE sintered - 800meters, Topsheet - 2400meters...according to an email i just got from isosport)

impossible for me and most of the other skibuilders i guess, even a group buy is not realistic as we are spread in whole europe, and not everyone wants the same.

does anyone know possibilities to get small quantities of base/topsheet/sidewall materials in europe from manufactorers, leaving out that small and expensive web based merchants?

I'm also looking to buy a little larger quantity, but I think we can manage to get smaller quant. from Isosport? I will check this week. I had a dialogue the other week with a guy from Isosport.

y'all want shit from crown?

I don't. I want "shit" from P-tex(CPS). The white stuff I used for my first builds. By far the best glide I've had for years.

I don't. I want "shit" from P-tex(CPS).

you already ordered from cps? i just sent them a request for materials and prices via email.

[OAC]

No, they haven't answer my request/question yet...
I will follow up this week.

[sir.orange]

got the answer for materials from cps.

Because my order value would be much less than several 100/1000meters, they announced the possibility to branch something off from a current production order.
Here are the products i asked for, i haven t mentioned any dimensions (thickness&width):

P-tex 4500 black = 500m je Dimension
EC 3010 clear or white = 2.000m je Variante / Dimension (660mm Breite)
ECC 1211 clear = 2.000m je Variante / Dimension (660mm Breite)
TP 455 white or black = 1.000m je Variante / Dimension (305mm Breite)

[OAC]

OK
How much are you going to order?
I might have some more intresents in Scandinavia...

[sir.orange]

Because of money i cant order before october/november, but i think i would take 2x 50m of sintered base material for testing teh stuff, black and a second colour, maybe white.
the same amount of top-sheet.

Got another answer from haberkorn for vds rubber:

- black 10 mm x 0,2 mm Art. Nr. 151074
EUR 15,01 / 100 mt

minimum order value: ca. 2520 Meter

- black 25 mm x 0,2 mm Art. Nr. 138592
EUR 37,52 / 100 mt

minimum order value: ca. 1300 Meter

- black 340 mm x 0,2 mm Art. Nr. 149894
EUR 510,31 / 100 mt

minimum order value: ca. 140 Meter


add 19% v.a.t.!


i m interested in the 10mm, as i want to keep costs as low as possible, 200-300m should be enough for me.

how much of each would you take OAC? here in germany is another skibuilding website, not comparable to this one, but the guys there might participate a group order. i ll check it out.

[jwahtera]

I'm intrested in about 50-100m of vds - 10mm will work fine - and 50cm wide clear topsheet for kitebards, but only something like 10 meters.

Is there a chance for the VDS, sir.orange?

[sweden]

I by my stuff from deepskis in Sweden!

[sir.orange]

Actually I'm currently in the US, but will be back in Germany right after Christmas. I might have quite a bit of space. If I can bring anything for anyone give me a PM.
