L'enfant Terrible du RCIndia



Just had a long conversation with Mr. Chetan Delhiwala of

Ankita Commercials
Shop No.8, Reliance Complex,
Troop Bazar,Hyderabad
Pho.040-66743217 / 66105856
web: www.jjgroup.co.in

Available : 24mm thickness sheets 122 mm X 61 mm (4 feet X 2 feet)
Price per carton of 16 sheets (they are not authorised to sell loose) = Rs.3240/-

We ideally need 6mm sheets. Thus from each sheet, we can produce (using hot wire) 4 sheets approximately. Taking wastage into account, let's say, we manage 3 sheets from each 24mm piece. Thus, we are talking about 48 - 64 sheets (take an avg of 50 sheets) of wonderful blue styrofoam for Rs.3240/- (price per sheet will work out to Rs. 65/- approx)

The people staying close to Hyderabad are lucky, as they can save on transportation. In my case, air freight is working out to Rs.1100/- or so giving me a cost of Rs.85/- per sheet if I can produce 50 pcs of 6mm from the pack of 16 pcs of 24mm.

Go for it guys!

I think the key lies in finding local suppliers of "" STYROFOAM, the blue extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam""

I think if it is available in Mumbai, Hyderabad then it should be available in Chennai and Bangalore as well.

Will check out and update if I come across something .

Hi Guys,
This stuff is used in insulation here and is perfect for cutting wing cores out of it.
Good for sanding and shaping, cuts easily with hotwire cutter. Denser version of thermocol which can be sanded easily. It is available at large builders merchants as 50mm or 100mm thick 2.5mt x 1.50mt sheets.
I use it for repairing foam wings. This cannot beat EPP though.
EPP is much more forgiving in hard landings. If you want to build something out of this, you will have to use reinforcing tape from HK and have a carbon/ bamboo spar. This is very rigid.

You will be waisting time and money trying to build from 6mm blue foam. Forget it.
This is used as a 24mm thick to cut wing cores.

Blue foam i will only consider it good for making patterns for fiberglass cowl, wheel pants. Blue foam due to its fine grain quality is great for making patterns.

Hi friends,
My 2c if I may; I have seen 2 varieties of extruded poly styrene in Kolkata. One is light green and one is light blue. The light green is made by Supreme Petro chemicals in India and the blue one is Dow.  Of what I have seen the green one is harder or stiffer compared to the blue one which may make it more brittle. The blue one its slightly softer and more flexible than the green one. None is sold loose. I prefer the green variety.
Thanks.

Since you are in Mumbai, the best way to source styrofoam is to search for Distributors/dealers of either Dow Chemicals or Supreme Petrochem, I source my styrofoam in Kolkata from Supreme Petrochem and since the company is based in Mumbai, you will definitely be able to source it there.
