Ceramacast 675 - 5200 lbs. available

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,

Yep, you're right about the RepRap. I think most people thought you were just spamming the forums, or suggesting this as a deposition material (instead of the plastic).

The problem most of us have is that the nozzle needs to get to over 250 degrees C, and we're using a nichrome wire heater that reaches a bit more than that.

Each individual heater (typically one or two per reprap/person) only needs less than an ounce of high-temp material. Most people use FireCement, does the job OK - but it comes in much larger pots than we need, for about ten bucks. A $100 one pound tub is way more than I can afford or need.

Thanks for the offer, though

I'm glad I clarified that I wasn't a spammer :-) I'm willing to match the price of the FireCement at $10 per pound if I can sell my quantity, just to recover some of the money we're going to lose (because we paid regular price for ours). Do you think there's a possibility of a group sale for this 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, advice, or be interested in even helping me for a commission I would be grateful.

Sorry, I'm on my own here.

Good luck
