I am looking for companies that sell polymers, and more specifically biopolymers, and/or chemicals that can ship to Canada (under a month or two for processing to delivery time) and who answer when request or emails are sent.
I have tried to contact many companies who have branded biopolymers, but most choose not to reply. I have to choose biopolymers for my research project, but I want to start focussing my research on biopolymers that are available and that are not too overpriced (under 200$ for 500grams). I don't need humongous amounts either, only between 10-20 kg.
Previously I've been reading articles and tried picking polymers from those, but most ended up where I send out emails to try and get materials, and nothing ever comes back.
Please help me!
Thanks
Céleste Robert

Thanks Celeste for your concern and same is applied for all researchers. Well, if you want a custom made polymer/biopolymer you can contact my earlier company located in Montreal (Polymer Source Inc.) and speak to Sunil who is the own the company. Very soon, another biopolymer company in Montreal is coming up and by December they will start in operation.
Many cases, you can request for free sample for research and companies they are happy to send you 500g sample. You can try Tic gums if you are working on hydrocolloids or Conagra or some small companies in Canada. Good luck.
Dear Jasim Ahmed ,
Thank you for the help. I will look into Polymer Source Inc. to see if they have the polymers I need.
I usually recommend this valuable polymer database site. Upon clicking on a desired polymer, you will find which company produces & sells it.
