In my search for polyurethane boards to make a plug, I am looking for low density. Approximately 4 to 6 Lbs. Cubic Ft (64 to 96 KG/Cu Meter) I have found a few off-shore suppliers including one each in UK, and Canada. I have made inquiries on pricing vie email or web response forms but I am not getting responses from the USA supplier after I was referred to them by the manufacturer. I would prefer finding a USA supplier to avoid the high cost of shipping and any possible duties or import restrictions. Can anyone please point me to a responsive supplier in the USA for this material?
For reference and perhaps to answer one key question, I do all of my research via the internet at night because I work during the day, so phone conversations is not an option for me.

Polystyrene is more common everywhere in the world, but polyurethane should still be around. Understand it's not easy to find, it took me 5 years to find my local supplier. I'm in Aus so that doesnt help you, but I'm confident the building industry is your best bet.


Thank you Hanaldo. In my search, Google and the internet have not been real friendly. It seems that when I search for Polyurethane, I get every imaginable link to other material with Polystyrene being the most frequent. And oddly, the construction industry does not know what the material they sell is made of.... they tend to describe it by brand name.
