If you mean isinglass you may try:
L.Cornelissen & Son
22 Great Queen St.
London WC2 5BH
United Kingdom
James Vickers Ltd
The Isinglass Factory
West Street
Coggeshall, Colchester
Essex
United Kingdom
Kremer Pigments
61 East 3rd St.
New York, N.Y.10003
However, my definition of isinglass comes from SSCR Journal, Nov 1994:
"The word isinglass is derived from the obsolete Dutch word huisenblas
which literally means 'sturgeon's bladder' [...] Isinglass has been
used since the seventeenth century in the conservation and restoration
of flaking paint on icons. It is also used as an artist's binding
medium. In conservation, isinglass is used currently for the
consolidation of paint in easel painting, panel painting and icon
conservation."
I hope that helps.
