Can't find that section but if you want 45mm round to cut your squares out of it's £40 for 2m length

I used to work for a plastics engineering company based in Yorkshire, but I always used Stephan at http://www.ptpplastics.co.uk/

They are producing in UHMW PE continually, so will not chage for a full 2x1x30 sheet just the material required.

The wrong side of the Pennines, but for full sheets, these were my usual supplier.
