The wonders of this forum rarely cease to amaze me so I am starting here for some urgent help.

Is there anyone on here who forms either clear perspex or clear plasic of the type that is used to wrap toys / batteries etc. and is still working !

If there is please contact me urgently via PM as I have an urgent project to explore which involved creating a partition between a driver and their passengers.

Heres hoping..........

Thanks

Our Kent Constabulary Peugeots had a fitted perspex divide between the front and rear seats back in 1990s.

It was molded to the shape of the rear of the front seats and quite useful when you had a captued scally in the back.

No idea who did the fitting... it may have been Peugeot UK.

So do you mean the shrink wrapping plastic, the stiffer blister-type wrapping or solid moulded perspex?

There is a company on the South Coast
( used to be called Hamble Aerostructures Ltd but now called Aernnova) who used to make the Hawk Aircraft canopies. ( vacuum formed acrylic), so might be worth giving them a call depending on the size of these partitions. I am sure they would be delighted to help.

Thanks guys - I have two or three leads to follow up on and some sample material being sent to me.
One lead is for a company that make “almost” exactly what I need already but it’s flipping expensive.
but hopefully a solution can be found.

Lexan is the trade name of the material, It is generally 'drape' moulded over a form rather than vacuum moulded in smaller quantities. If any of you have ever watched those fat Americans making the exotic fish tanks, they drape mould them.
