Dear List Members, We have been informed by the manufacturer of Plextol B-500, Synthomer, that they are now imposing a 11,000 pound (5000 kg) minimum order, where as previously we had to only buy a drum or two at a time. This makes buying the product impossible for us, and we are very concerned about loosing this important product for the conservation market.
My questions are as follows: 1) Does anyone know of other comparable materials that are currently in use or available as a replacement? Often times products of almost exact specification (in this case an acrylic dispersion) are available from competing chemical manufacturers. 2) For those who are very familiar with the Plextol B-500 and its properties that make it desirable for specific conservation practices, would you be willing to work with us to define the specific criteria to look for in alternate products and ultimately test them for suitability?
