Sources for Mylar or similar film

[Baldin]

Hi All

Looking for sources for Mylar or similar film on the net. It's for use in a planar magnetic speaker.
I think a thickness of 0.006 mm / 6 μm (micron) would be optimal for the project, but thinner might do as well.

Does anyone have some good sources thay can share here?

Have used the 3.5 micron Genuine Dupont Mylar from ER Audio, before (actually I think it was 3.8 .... must have changed1). This goes for AUD $58 for 10 meters.
ER Audio
They also have 6.0 Micron Hostaphan, which goes for AUD $47 for 10 meters

Found this:
One Thing Audio
They have 3 micron diaphragm film (PET) 820 mm x 10 metres for £20 .... 3 micron I think is a bit on the low side

Thanks in advance
Baldin

Hi,

I bought my 6um film from MartinJan Dijkstra. You can find his e-mail address on this page: Elektrostaten Materialen and I think he also is or was a member here.

This was years ago but I believe he bought an entire roll of the stuff (tens of kilometers) so if he's still in the business of selling this stuff, he probably still has some left :-)

Plus, he's from Holland so no hassle with int'l money transfers, customs, etc.

Can only say it was fast delivered, easy to order and cheap. It was also nicely and carefully packed, so no damage.

Can only recommend this supplier

Yep, still am
One big advantage of the film I bought is the exceptional width (custom made for esls) of 100 cm which allows you to glue 2 panels in one run or to make a single large panel.
