Note
2: Re supplies of Colour
Bands - September 2001
A.C. Hughes, the suppliers of colour bands, has advised that they
are running out of Celluloid. They say it is no longer manufactured
anywhere so, as stocks run out, they will replace each colour with
another plastic. As far as they know, Darvic is the only suitable
plastic available in a good range of colours, so unless they find a
replacement material, all bands will eventually be Darvic. Hughes
would be pleased to be informed of alternatives to Darvic as a
Celluloid replacement. They say they still have good stocks of most
remaining single colours and large stocks of most multi-coloured
material. No yellow Celluloid bands have been produced in some sizes
for about two years and all Celluloid yellow band production ceased
last year.
Note 3: There is sometimes a difference in colour between Celluloid and Darvic bands, with the Celluloid colour being darker in both Light Blue and Light Green, and lighter in Orange.
Sizes 1 to 6 are available as split bands only and applicators are supplied at no extra cost for ease of attachment. Sizes 7 to 15 are available in coil form only.
One-colour bands are available in the following materials and colours. Single colour bands can be purchased in minimum lots of ten bands in any one colour/size combination:
Sizes 1 to 4 -
Celluloid material - red, orange, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, black, white, mauve, light pink, dark pink.Darvic - red, orange, light green, dark green, yellow, light blue, dark blue, black, white,
Sizes 5 to 15 -
Celluloid material - mauveDarvic material - orange, yellow, dark blue, light green, brown, red, black, dark green, light blue, white, grey
Multi-coloured bands (two colours per band) are available in sizes 1 to 6 only:
Multi-coloured bands are manufactured in two different types as described below. Because of their high cost and relatively infrequent demand, stocks are not generally held by the Mist Net Service. Stock is purchased from the UK manufacturer to fill a specific order to the MNS. Orders must be for at least 10 of each colour combination in each size. Delivery can take up to three months from placement of order. The price of multi-coloured bands is between two and three times that of single-colour bands of the same size.
