Ceramacast 675

I have a large quantity of Ceramacast 675 high temperature potting and casting material available that I am looking to sell at an extremely reduced rate and would appreciate any assistance that anyone can offer. The project for which we bought the material has been put on hold indefinitely, and therefore I am trying to simply recover some of our monetary loss on the purchase. Information on the product is located at www.ceramacast.com - we purchased the Ceramacast from Aremco. The list price from Aremco is: 1-2 lbs = $ 107.51, 3-10 lbs = $ 80.63, 11-25 lbs = $ 75.13, 26-100 and up = $ 72.96. I am willing to sell my supply at 1/3 of the 100+pound Aremco list price because we've passed the expiration date, but Aremco has told me that as long as the tubs have not been opened (which they have not) they are still 100% useful and effective. I have 5200 lbs. available - if anyone can assist me with finding a potential buyer or perhaps even a distributor who would be willing to work on commission, I would sincerely appreciate it. In these tough economic times we're all trying to be creative on how to improve the bottom line, so I would be grateful for any assistance/suggestions.

Just for clarification on this issue, my understanding is that RepRap is a tool people use to build 3D plastic prototype models/a system that heats up soft plastic and squeezes it out of a thin nozzle to form a shape, correct? Adding plastic in various shapes and at various heights, eventually a full 3D shape is produced and the tool is computer controlled so accurate models can be produced - the heater for the nozzle is where we think this Ceramacast 675 could come in handy for that tool. I understand right now many people are struggling with various compounds and I think this is the ideal product for them. I'd be willing to send samples if anyone would like to try it.

Hi Christine,

i'm interested in samples and maybe some kilograms when this material meets our needs.

I have to embed some platinum-wires and thermosensors - the coating should be good heat conducting and we have processing temperatures of maybe 300°C to 500°C, so this would be the perfect stuff ...

Can you ship some samples to germany?

Viktor

Hi Viktor,
I think I can arrange for samples to be sent to Germany if you're willing to pay the shipping cost, I just don't know if there would be a problem with customs? Not familiar with shipping to Germany. Do you think there's a possibility of a group sale for my quantity? Someone suggested I investigate whether there would be interest in people trying to organize a "group buy" (where one person negotiates a bulk deal for all of the people who are interested, then ship all the product to that one person, and distribution to the various members of the discussion group would be made from there). If you can offer any help or advice, I would be grateful.

Hi Christine,

... first i have to separate between job and private use - the samples would be for tests with an actual project i'm handling with on my daywork - the kilogram-order would be for the same project too.

For reprap-use: - germany isn't so populated, i think there are 6 to ten active reprappers here and we wouldn't need more than some 100 grams for our nozzles. Anyway, i'll ask some friends and post this in the german forum too.

Besides, i receive sometimes samples of 100g to 500g of glass-powders or microspheres - with experimenting and using for development this amounts lasts for years

Christine,

Please, hereafter when you have something to sell could you please put it in the "For Sale" thread of this forum.

Thanks,

Forrest

I'm so sorry Forrest, I'm new at this so I'm not sure how it works but I'm not just looking to sell the Ceramacast but also ideas for its usage, possibility of finding help/distribution/etc., and to help me better understand if this is even a possible place where I might find help. I did post it under the for sale area, I apologize if I've done my postings incorrectly - this is the first forum in which I've ever partook per the suggestion of someone inquiring about the product, so bear with me :-)
